polysicsarebest With some of the most hilarious box art I've ever seen and a back cover making references to the Fly and Gremlins, I was expecting a cheap knockoff film... with a cool cover. Instead, what I got was something that is not only as entertaining as those two films mentioned on the back, it actually might be BETTER than than those two films, combined! This film is about a fat guy doing experiments, something we've all seen before. In fact, it starts out just like any other horror-comedy... but quickly turns into some bizarre art film... the whole film kind of turns upside down as we suddenly see eyes through the life of some kind of weird bug, who crawls around and searches out the lab and spits acid at people. Then, the "film" (with all the plot and such) restarts, and nothing is the same anymore. We see insane penis monsters, people's whole bodies horrifically shoved inside fishbowls, people being violently electrocuted, and more! There is not a boring moment to bad had, especially when the lead "kamillion" chews up the scenery... this guy looks a really young Bruce Campbell meets a really young Jim Carrey, and he has to be one of the best characters to ever appear in a film. He just kind of stalks around, killing people for no apparent reason, using his fingers as sharp knives, teleporting all over the place, making his face turn completely blue, and throwing knives into turkeys. It's worth seeing the film just for this character.You know, it's a shame that this isn't available on DVD. Rarely does one find films more imaginative or more entertaining -- there are more good ideas in this single 90 minute film than Hollywood releases in one year! All the effects were really well-done; you can tell a lot of heart went into this release. It's a shame it's not more well-known; see it at all costs.

deaddeerguts this movie is AMAZING!! Kamillions teeters so delicately between genres, and at times i am frightened by how good it is. horror, romance, social satire and just enough comic relief to give this "frightfest" the perfect balance. countless plot twists, a stellar cast, and elaborate, mind-blowing special effects make this movie absolutely a MUST SEE. this movie will keep you guessing and guessing until you don't know which way is up. the soundtrack is a sparse and shifting tempest of synth swells, backed up by a cavalcade of oldies hits. think, the Mist meets the Fly meets Gremlins meets any other awesome movie you've ever seen! TEN!!!

grassyno The critics hate it... but only the ones with no sense of humor. This film will probably be to our generation what Plan Nine From Outer Space was to our parents. It's so bad it's good, deliciously good! The mad doctor is frumpy and completely self absorbed. The monster is-- well-- beyond words! The first time you see it, you think "what the f--" But by the second time, it gets to be like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. You want to shout out replies and retorts to the actors! If you're a fan of the weird and wonderful, this is a must-see film! I had the same feeling after seeing "Eraserhead". I hated it. But I felt I had to see it again, despite my better judgment. Now I look forward to any opportunity to see either film again and again. These dark comedies are an acquired taste, but well worth it.

Scott Andrew Hutchins Unknown Christopher Gasti gives a tour-de-force performance in a dual role as practically perfect Count Desmon and a creature from another dimension who has copied his body. It would be a spoiler to give away what makes his performance so brilliant, but it also helps make the film rewarding for multiple viewings. Although it contains some mildly raunchy humor (in about three scenes), there is almost no violence in this film (which was only screened theatrically in South Amercian and Arabian countries, and a few others, Ning-Ping Chan tells me, and thus never submitted for rating), and it is mostly suitable for families, particularly considering much of the PG-13 fare parents take their kids to these days. The film contains references to Lovecraft (as in Miskatonic University) and Hubbard (Larry, the hypocritical preacher and Nathan's best friend, preaches "Dynagenics," and promises God to make it cheaper after his great sin). It also deals effectively and humourously with extradimensional creatures adapting to human bodies and American culture, sometimes in a retro-fifties style. The film also has a beutiful new age score by Kent H. Randolph, and only once, for Desmon, does the synth based ensemble create a pale imitation of an orchestra, nor is it merely synthesizer droning. Although the characters sometimes seem stereotypical, they are often allowed to show multifaceted personalities. The kids, of course, are the ones who know what's going on, like _The Night of the Hunter_ with teenagers. The film never takes itself too seriously, but the naturalness of the dialogue, the flowing camera movements, and simply-decorated mansion make Nathan's fiftieth birthday party preparation seem like a real birthday party preparation. Nothing is ever presented as very sinister, save for the possibility of an earth -shattering explosion, and with good reason. It is a shame the video release of this film was limited, making it hard to find and impossible to order. It's a delightful bit of normalcy affecting the genuine humdrumness of a supposedly-exciting family gathering.
