PLOT: Before the predator there was another well around ugly son of a bitch from space, it was The Night Beast. Every time I think of the name or see this movies amazing lazor type font I have to since it in a 80s rock anthem sound. Thinking Nighttrain by Guns and Roses mainly of course. The Night Beast crashes into earth in his handi vac looking space ship in of course a small hick town run by its naive sheriff who looks like a cross between Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy and John Holmes. The Night Beast comes from the epic white light of his crash site, wearing a shiny silver space man costume and wacky beyond wacky narley teeth and lizard buggy eyes. Snarly and drooling but still looking fabulous in his silver jump suit. The night beast straight out of a Funkedelic stage show starts blasting bewildered campers with his lazor gun.
Everyone shot by the blasts shines is pyschodelic lazor floyd lights then disappears into nothing. When the night beats vaporizes two kids in a car it totally awesome. There is some sub plot with a extremely awkward sex scene with the pasty asses sheriff and is partner. Also a local dork tries to be a hero as some drunk biker has been laying the beats on some hooker with a terrible tan line. Suffice to say they all end up lazor dust to the night beast a long with a few people the beat decide to tear apart with his bare claws. In two separate scenes they try to take the alien out in moments obviously inspired from the original Thing. The TERRIBLE yet AMAZING stilted characters and their terrible acting makes this film so much fun. My favourites are of course the pasty asses sheriff and the doctor with his plan to electrocute the beast which he takes forever to do and the beast just stands there and lets him do it. Basically in short a bunch of really dumb yokals and a group of wanna be playboys get attacked by the predator dressed like a member of P funk and they all die faaabulously. Troma has rereleased a documentary on this film and as a sweet bonus you get the whole film free with it. A real fun alien schlock a rama.
