I had heard of "Spawn of the Slithis" for a number of years ever since I first heard of it from a showing on the CBS Late Night Movie, where I forgot to actually record and watch it. But thanks to its DVD release, I finally got to see it. I have to admit that my expectations were pretty low, hearing it was a really low budget movie by amateur filmmakers.Actually, I didn't find the movie completely bad. For a rock bottom low budget, the movie looks a lot more expensive than you'd expect. The "monster suit" actually looks somewhat decent, and the movie is directed in a way that suggests the director had some previous experience directing movies.Unfortunately, much of the movie is a chore to sit through. There are far less monster attack sequences than you'd think, with much of the movie devoted to endless scenes of the journalist character (who looks amazingly like game show host Bert Convy) going around and investigating. There are also endless conversations between characters, none of which is very interesting. It results in only a few minutes of slaughter and monster stuff. In the end, I can only recommend the movie to aspiring filmmakers wanting to make their own low budget horror movie - the movie shows both what to do, but especially what NOT to do.

"Hell hath no fury, like a guy in a Rubber Suit!" Not as good as the "Godzilla" movies, but the dialogue and music are absolutely hilarious.The Box should say made by K-R-A-F-T on it. It's definitely a brain clogging experience.There is some flirting going on -- especially with pick up lines like:"Oh and Wayne, let me know if you decide to pursue this...I sense your interest..and I feel the same way..."MMM kay.....I didn't need to know that! All in all, it's NOT as good as a "Godzilla" movie, but it'll still split your sides! One more quote? Oh sure: "What I gotta do is take a leak. You crap your pants again? No I farted. You crapped your pants again." Man with dialogue like that, you just can't miss!Wayno

This has got to be one of the worst movies made in the History of movie making.Ishtar was a bad movie, this movie makes Ishtar and AcademyAward nominee. It just cannot get worse than this, can it?

What a flick! I bought this one just for the front cover - it was in the 25 cent special bucket at a local pawn shop. This video was worth every one of the 25 cents I paid for it, and I'm guessing the producers lavished at LEAST 26 cents on the filming of this masterpiece. Looking for cheesy, overblown, low budget, backyard trash on film? Look no further!
