Oh I'm sorry, was this supposed to be funny?!? "Terrorvision" is another hugely irritating and completely retarded 80's horror "comedy", produced by Albert & Charles Band under their notorious Empire Studios label. I know that many horror fans list this pile of junk high among their guilty pleasures, and I can accept that, because it would mean that everybody also realizes that the film basically is B.A.D! We're introduced to an all-American family of which the father clumsily installs a satellite dish in the backyard. Mum and dad Putterman are swingers, grandpa is obsessed by warfare and eating lizard tails, the teenage punk-daughter is in love with an imbecile who uses the word "dude" twice in every sentence and the most normal family member the son has to take pills in order not to hallucinate all day. Okay then! Onwards with an intergalactic pet from the planet Pluton that gets teleported through the satellite, eating its way through the Putterman-family and replacing the TV-dinners with exact replicas. "Terrorvision" could have been mildly amusing but the cast members act way too hectic and the script doesn't contain any real gags, just silly creature effects and grotesque situations. The absolute rock bottom moment of the film is an overlong and painfully lame sequence in which the kids educate the monster about earthly values. Good luck trying to sit through that!
