Directed by Rick Sloane, U.S.A. The worst rip-off of GREMLINS ever, this takes the concept of failure to ecstatic depths. A security guard has to hunt down a group of furry little monsters after they escape from the vault in which they have been imprisoned for thirty years. After about forty minutes, I tried to put aside my irritation at the stupid plot and told myself to enjoy the movie as a goofy mess. But I couldn’t even do that: its badness is all-encompassing and immeasurable. Let me emphasise: this is not “so bad it’s good.” It’s just bad. Very, very bad. It made me hate GREMLINS for having inspired it. 1/5.
