DML Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ - great

"It tried to get in my mouth. What kinda thing wants you to eat it?" - Jack MacReady

Why watch this? It's crude, gory, slimy, violent, and completely awesome - if you like this kind of horror film.

Plot Summary: In the small town of Wheelsy, South Carolina, a meteorite crashes, unleashing a parasitic alien creature. The creature infects local businessman Grant Grant, transforming him and giving him a hunger for raw meat. As Grant's body becomes a monstrous breeding ground, a swarm of slug-like offspring threatens to infect the rest of the town, turning residents into zombie-like drones.

Dad's Preview: This well-made film wisely does not take itself too seriously. There are some really funny lines, most coming from a distraught Jack MacReady (the character's name is a homage to 1982's The Thing, another gruesome, alien invasion flick). There are also some really disturbing scenes, but I really enjoyed it - start to slimy finish.
