Stock characters, a typical science-fiction backstory, high body count, a variety of kills, and exaggerated gore. This movie is intentionally dumb, funny, and over the top. Yeah, the monster is clearly a guy in a suit but it's fitting and part of its charm. Clearly inspired by 80s horror which the makers admit to in the making-of. This would be a fun movie to watch with friends.

Rats: Night of Terror 1984
This is a decent-bad movie. You can have fun with the bad acting and dialog. There's no clever scheming. This is a group of idiots that continuously get themselves into more trouble so you have the potential to laugh at their stupidity. There's killing and some gore but most of the time the rats look very disinterested so I really enjoyed watching the actors hamming it up and then cutting to a pile of rats sniffing around. The ending gave this movie an extra star. Oh, and a moment of silence for all the rats that obviously died during the making of this movie.

Digging Up the Marrow 2014
Cool monsters and effective jump scares. Some good tension building moments and I liked the mockumentary style. I've read many reviews complaining that the director/star (Adam Green) used the movie to boast about his work. Because this was a mockumentary style film and thus should feel like this is taking place in Green's personal life, I didn't interpret anything as arrogant or boastful. It was an interesting story about a horror fan and filmmaker seeing his obsession come to life. My biggest issue with this movie was some story holes with Ray Wise's character. Not a huge deal because the movie was still pretty entertaining.
