marwood’s review:
I watched this years ago back in my teens and i loved it. I couldn't get over seeing this guy melting away in front of your very eyes.I was glued to the screen. Re-watching it today and i really found it hard to focus on any of it. The FX are incredible when you consider when it was made and more importantly by whom. This was a early gig for legendary make-up artist Rick Baker. Apart from the make-up,there was very little to engage me this time round. It was very slow and tedious to sit through.
I love this schlocky b-movie, it's gross, and it's great fun. It's also historically interesting as a showcase of early Rick Baker effects.
I found it really hard to watch this time round Rick.
