Audience Member ITS BORING WHEN THE CHARCHACTERS TRY TO FIND A CLUE BUT THE MOVIE IS GOOD WHEN THE MONSTER APPIERCE SO 50% BAD 50% GOOD Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Raiodesol S Unfortunately this movie can't even pull off the "it's so bad it's good" type. Forced sex scenes and very long shooting sequences without much attention makes it drag and maybe you'll end up distracted with something else while very repetitive laser sound fill the room. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review moycon I finally got around to watching Nightbeast just hours ago and let me tell you now, the flick is amazing! Terrible acting, gratuitous MILF boobies, Cheap FX, and a "hero" that looks like a guy I knew from high school. He's skinny, pale, has a gray afro (Note : The guy I knew in high school didn't have gray hair), a weak chin and HUGE mustache (Note : The guy I knew in high school did have a HUGE mustache). You know, your typical hero type. Cheap jack spaceship crashes on Earth and rubbery, toothy alien begins a rampage of terror. Skinny gray afro hero and MILF (There's a few other people around, I don't refer to them so much as characters. Let's just call them...expendable folk.) have to figure out how to stop him on their own because the mayor can't be bothered with no alien, because he's having a party the governor will be at. If you are the type of person that LOVES bad movies. Then you will certainly dig Nightbeast because it is gloriously bad. Luckily for us, it's bad in the best of ways. This movie packs more entertainment than any of the movies being pooped out of Hollywood these days. I say give the beast a chance and you may have the same opinion! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/22 Full Review Audience Member A sheriff, his partner (work and sexual), and several expendable local deputies fail to kill a single unarmed alien for an hour and a half, ultimately ending in a rushed and anti-climactic showdown. Funnily enough, this joke of a movie was the first film JJ Abrams, of Star Wars and Star Trek fame, ever worked on (he did music and sound effects). Worth watching for the credits alone. For the curious, Nightbeast was legally uploaded to Troma's YouTube Channel for the public to see. Lloyd Kaufman is a great man. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member About half the time he's more of a day beast, but whatever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Well what can be said about this movie... It starts out interesting...spacecraft crashes in a little town and from the wreck comes a homicidal alien. However, we have scenes are extreme tension with the alien, followed people just meandering around without any real sense of urgency or tension. The alien has claws and a head so big there is no way it can fit in its clothes, and to be honest, how does an animal like alien develop space travel or create an intricate space ship with claws like that? The gory scenes were actually pretty decent, but the acting really brought it down. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
