By the same guy who did TerrorVision (Ted Nicolaou), which I genuinely enjoyed. This is a surprisingly tame Full Moon alien invasion flick, rated R for... well, I'm not sure why. This movie totally lacks sex, nudity, and gore. I think the only bad language occurs when the DJ freaks out (even then, you're allowed one F-bomb in a PG-13 movie). MTV VJ Martha Quinn has a major role, and as far as B-movie actresses go, I didn't think she was half bad. The "wild" DJ who basically carries this movie (Paul Hipp, not that he was spectacular, he was just in the entire film) is credited SIXTH in the closing credits!
The cover proudly states "Music by Blue Oyster Cult." By the end, I thought, wow, these guys did some diverse stuff. Upon viewing the credits, they actually did the score plus two songs. Pretty interesting array of bands in this, all of whom we sit through an entire music video with. My favorite was Ron Keel fronting a band made up exclusively of foxy ladies, who could really play! Still playing hair metal in 1992, I might add. Another band seems to pre-date Slipknot with the crazy masks (the extras reveal they stay in character outside of when they play music), only I don't think anyone in Slipknot ever dressed as a cow or a nun. Come to think of it, Mr. Bungle probably pre-dated both, but I digress. Entertaining enough, so long as you don't expect any genre staples.
