TerrorVision (1986)
5/10
Television Will Eat You!
30 June 2013
To begin this unpleasant horror satire, the planet Pluton disposes of a big ugly, mutated monster by blasting it into outer space. Unfortunately for Earthlings, it is directed to our planet and gets picked up by the TV satellite dish installed by gregarious Gerrit Graham (as Stanley Putterman). The alien monster lives in television airwaves and eats people. Others in the host family are: Mr. Graham's wife-swapping partner Diane Franklin (as Suzy), their punky teenage daughter Mary Woronov (as Raquel), cute blond pre-teen son Chad Allen (as Sherman) and lizard-loving old Bert Remsen (as Grampa)...

Young Allen tries to tell the family there is a monster in the television, but everyone is too self-absorbed to believe him. The monster eventually appears more comfortable outside of television. Allen, Ms. Franklin and her heavily metallic boyfriend Jonathan "Jon" Gries (as O.D. Riley) try to make friends with the creature. A concerned alien from Pluton warns Earth the monster could eat everyone on the planet. Bosomy horror TV hostess Jennifer Richards (as Medusa) is called in to help. Alejandro Rey and Randi Brooks have fun poolside, as a "swinging" hot couple. Everyone tries hard and the sets are cool.
