THE ASTOR REVIEW

After a trip to the rings of Saturn, astronaut Steve West returns to Earth suffering from a disease that causes him to melt and eat people. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” says one of the doctors. After chasing a fat nurse through a plate glass window, Steve goes on the rampage; decapitating a fisherman, scaring little children and eating the heroine’s comedy relief parents. The excellent make-up effects by Rick Baker depict Steve gradually losing various body parts. Both the acting and the décor are hilarious. Best dialogue: “Oh my God! It’s his ear!” Presented with commentary by those two drips from Cinema Fiasco. GW

To save the day comes Doctor Ted Nelson!
