Review
This film boasts...no recognizable actors playing cliched characters. Actually I take that back. The actor voicing the monster is more recognizable, but anything Frank Welker does usually is easy to guess. But hey, sometimes a film with actors that at least have Wikipedia pages can have success, like the movie Sweet 15 (#070), though that wasn't a monster movie. And...it's mediocre. It certainly does boast film footage from other films, from Robot Monster to The Giant Claw, but that only reminds me that both of those films were terrible. This feels intentional, with the monster effects actually better than the characters and the story teetering on mediocrity. Trying to describe the acting is like trying to describe a rock, it's way too easy. The film runs short at about 90 minutes, which by now feels really familiar. It does manage to entertain some sort of audience and it at least manages to be better than Leprechaun or the 2010 version of A Nightmare of Elm Street, which is...some sort of comfort.

Overall, I give it 5 out of 10 stars.
