Intergalactic parasitic slug infects people so that it can drive Ferraris, play loud music, rob banks and stores, and kill people. With sex in one case. As Claudia (Babylon 5) Christian. And it's up to fellow (non-slug) alien Kyle MacLachlan to stop him. Brilliant. Say hello to my little friend...

If you haven't seen that one, you should give it a look. Animatronic critters, some great action sequences, and a nice final scene. ... Reed

The opening car chase with the heavy metal music and the car and driver get blasted up was such a rush. I think it holds up very well.

Apr 10 12 9:30 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I saw this on cable in the late 80's and its a great action/sci-fi hybrid. The scenes with the alien noticing its differences from a male body when its inside Claudia Christian was funny. The sequel was boring. I am the Shadow Man, and I never harm the person whose bed I live under.
