Holy tomatoes! Goofier than the short bus, this fare from 1987 is about as camp as it gets. Playing every 80's stereotype to full hilt, TerrorVision is the story of monsters from an alien world somehow transmitted through space and into the Puttermans living room via their new satellite dish. Imagine a Sid & Marty Croft horror movie, and this is pretty much what you get.
A creature looking like a melted Jabba The Hut, mom and dad trying to have an orgy with a couple they just met. Big sister has more colors in her hair than a pack of crayons, her boyfriend dresses like RATT is too sophisticated for him. Grandpa has a bunker full of weapons and little Sherman can't convince anyone that a monster is eating everyone. Throw in a big boobed TV hostess for good measure.
Is it any good? I don't think so, but it's all so gosh darn silly that it's honestly hard to tell. It's not very scary, and the monsters are goofily bad, but the camp level is so high that it might be fun on that level. Didn't do much for me though.
