8/10
It's supposed to be cheesy...

...once you understand that it's actually quite entertaining.

I see a couple of complaints about the scientist being over the top, well he's supposed to be. I mean really it's more of a caricature than a character...

Q:"What about his teeth?"

A: "There certainly are too many teeth."

....in case you missed it, that was funny, and it was supposed to be.

This movie is straight comic book style camp, with a spooky atmosphere. Think Dr Who meets Hell-raiser. Once you realize that it becomes both funny and spooky, and hits it's intended mark well.

In all I gave it a couple of extra points because they obviously were on a strict budget but still did quite well with it.

If you walk in expecting a fright-fest you will be disappointed, but if you take this the way it was intended it makes for a very entertaining experience.
