Night of the "Sleep"

"Alien brain parasites, entering humans through the mouth, turn their host into a killing zombie. Some teenagers start to fight against them."

Ok so did anyone actually get killed by a zombie? People seemed to die when the parasites went in them. The zombies were so ineffectual they couldn't hurt a fly.

A dog can make a bus crash at low speed.

Everything feels like it's in slow motion.

This movie is so slow getting there and so off base with the romantic nonsense. This chick isn't into nice losers. She dating the head of the fraternity. She wouldn't give him a second look. And thus the romanticism of the mid to late 80s rears it's ugly head. We were bought up on this schlocky ideal of romance and it never played out that way in real life. This left many people completely broken hearted. It was so all pervasive that it even had to ruin what could have been a perfectly plausible horror film.

Instead we are left with this really boring character exploration rather than any genuine horror.

This movie sucks in a bad way. It takes so long getting there for no payoff. It's the longest 1hr30mins i've ever seen. Awful movie.

If you want to see something good from the 80s watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). It's all of the ham and cheese with none of the romatic crap.
