Year:1983
Country of origin:USA
Director:Jackie Kong
Genre:Mutation
Starring:Martin Landau, Marianne Gordon, Bill Osco
Rating:3/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085224/
Tagline:The ultimate terror has taken form
Favourite line:"Strange and unexplained events are occurring. Some people are missing. Among them, a little child…."

This is a terrible movie that is pretty good fun.
Toxic waste is being dumped into a local waterway, and a local boy turns into some kind of radioactive, melted mutant beastie thing, meaning that slime and blood abound.
The acting throughout is beyond bad - you can actually see the actors trying to remember their next line!
The monster is pretty good though, in a dodgy FX kind of way.
Some hilarious sequences too (the capture in the freezer scene being one of my faves.)
This is a good, nonsensical B-Movie.
I enjoyed it quite a lot.
