Breeders
11/19: A throwback to the 50's low production values, Breeders is a respectable yet suspenseless horror movie that's tits and ass galore.

I have to say that I'm impressed with the body makeup effects. It's definitely first-rate, even for 1986, rivaling The Howling and An American Werewolf in London. Obviously, it and the copious amount of nudity kept me awake every ten minutes or so.

Headlined by a cast of nobodies, the acting, most especially from Teresa Farley who's deadpan, leaves a lot to be desired, but the script isn't bad with plenty of good ideas. We've got aliens raping Manhattan's virgins to breed new ones, a female model snorting a line of cocaine before taking her clothes off to stretch for a while, and a white slime pit that's full of naked women. What more can you possibly want? The best of all is: it's a short movie with a sweet running time of 77 minutes.

All in all, low-budget and exploitative at the hands of a gay porn director, Breeders is the kind of film that can be found in the back channels of cable TV at 3 o'clock in the morning.
