That monster... what kind of monstrosity was that? It looked like a Chinese dragon with some worms hanging out of its head. On the other side I also saw a rotten piece of wood with a turtle that expanded during the film stuck behind it. Speaking of turtles, this film also moves extremely slowly and the way the different people react to the monster is incredibly lethargic. Most (especially innocently screaming ladies) look at the camera in horror, only to be devoured by the monster a minute later. I have never seen such passivity and it says something when the first shooting weapons are only brought out after more than an hour of filming .

The film viewer is further tested when it turns out that the narrator is responsible for the vast majority of the dialogue, plus some morals. Anyway, this piece of cinema can once again be rated 0.5*.

Infamous turkey with the most shapeless monster of all time.
A kind of carpet with vacuum cleaner hoses attached to it and I think there are about 3 "actors" under that carpet to make the thing move... via a kind of sleeping bag attached underneath that represents the monster's mouth, the victims clearly crawl in themselves. .
Only a few scenes with real dialogue... the rest consists of some cool monster sounds and especially the voice-over that tells what we are actually watching.
Very strange scene in the dance ball where two men start fighting while the monster walks in...why? No idea!!! I thought it was my inattention, but apparently no one knows why there is a fight.
Classic scene: attack the monster with an acoustic guitar ... name me one other movie that uses this gruesome weapon.
One of the victims on Lovers' Lane has large 23 Skidoo on his car (is this where the band name comes from?).
Overall, even worse than Ed Wood's infamous "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and with a gruesome climax that explains the monster's presence.
"Seeing is believing" this film and despite the fact that everything about it is bad, it scores a pass purely on entertainment value.

I have to look at this in parts... not really sustainable.
