trashgang Here in Europe it isn't possible to find this flick anywhere even in the cultshops. So I tried to track it down overseas. And lucky as I was I caught the full uncut(the extra 20 minutes included). Pulled up a chair and started watching. Terrible acting, and the conversations are way too long. Of course you have to include some naked chick and they did. Nothing happens, some alien attacks, no gore even not frightening. Then suddenly some would be goths appear. They are in a cult and there is some stupid fight between two girls. Boring and again too long. And when one of the girls her throat is cut open, you can see the blood coming out of the knife and not from her flesh. Even the fights you can see the punching is fake. The last 5 minutes the aliens attack, one of the goths loses his eye, that's maybe the only gore moment. And then without reason the aliens go back to there space ship and fly off (in a bad keyed blue key). End of story. Of course this one became a cultmovie and has to be seen to be believed. The worst horror ever? I don't know, I thought basket case was worse too, but who am I to complain...

EyeAskance When an extraterrestrial craft lands in that remote part of the forest where teenagers often go to hump, carnage begins expediently as slimy hand puppets emerge from the ship, hungry for human flesh. There's also some ridiculous sub-plotting about a cabal of barbarian punk-rocker types on a violent mission of evil ordained by an all-powerful overlord.BEASTIES was apparently distributed with a scant 200 VHS copies available, and I gloat with pride for owning one of them. One could possibly compare this film to the heinous WINTERBEAST in quality(or lacking thereof), but truthfully, BEASTIES represents a very strange minor league of its own. Not a solitary frame of this incredible work of short-bus genius bears even the faintest hallmarks of sapien-level brain capacities...BEASTIES is pure and natural bog sludge that should make even the most humorless curmudgeon crack a smile.Recommended.

one4now4 When I picked up the box of "Beasties" in a Mom-and-Pop video store, I read that it was making this out to be a cross between "Back to the Future" and "Gremlins". I knew immediately not to fall for this, but upon renting the movie I found that this is partially true. The problem here is that this is without a fun feel, and it's not scary either. I actually do want to recommend this for a few reasons, but I'm not sure who I'd be recommending it to. Odd, huh? Anyway, it has a fairly interesting premise, and some surprises that I wouldn't want to spoil. Still, my favorite part was the club scene with a performance by a really cool-sounding deathrock band. Hey, if you're bored and dig cheap horror movies, what do you have to lose other than a couple bucks for the price of a rental?

Gonzo-23 For those who have sought long and far for the worst movies ever made, may Beasties soon find them. It has awful muppets combined with even worse Egyptian gang war gods, not too mention some of the worst original synthesizer music in a film. This may very well be one of the top five films ever made. Don't blame me if you become a worse person for viewing it or if your VCR bursts into flames when inserting the tape. And don't go parking when you are out of gas, or the Beasties may get you!!!
