Anton Bitel Sight & Sound Its sensibilities were all a bit too adolescent for my tastes (and age), but for those still fixated on brewskies and formication, It Came from the Desert is a monstrously fun ride. Nov 7, 2017 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers The acting is ropy at times, but as B movies go this is a corker: knowing but not overwhelmingly meta, witty, with schlocky horror tropes tripping over each other. All that's missing is a canister of toxic waste and a Kevin Bacon cameo. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 15, 2018 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Camp, cheesy and oddly charming, It Came From the Desert is a rare modern b-movie that is an absolute viewing pleasure. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review J.R. Southall Starburst This isn't especially 'good', and by setting its sights no higher than to pastiche the films it's aping (as much Aliens as Them!) it falls short of being in any way meaningful. Rated: 5/10 Jun 13, 2018 Full Review John Higgins Starburst The fun is always watching seemingly courageous youths fall apart when faced with adversity like this in classic form. Rated: 7/10 Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Zander G Ultimate orange kid movie! I loved the part when it came from the dessert! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Audience Member This was straight up horrible just made an account to say this wauw Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member well, it's not fun and very interesting, the script is terrible and full of lines. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member So bad it's good? No it's just bad. I only watched it because I like the original Amiga game it is loosely based on, pretty disappointed to be honest. Bad acting, bad script, effects are okay, but a missed opportunity. The best part? the end credits where they show the original computer game. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member as with 9/10 horror comedies, the problem here was that there was no comedy, very disappointing Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/20 Full Review Audience Member OMG I live b rated horror movies this was so cool Especially since it was based on an old video game by the same name. It was so cheesy and campy!!!! I knew I was going to watch a cheesy corny movie and it did not disappoint!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
