If you get a few laughs from the bizarre acting and dumb story, that's the most you can expect from this bad film.

Carpet remnants attack! Very funny "MST3K" version, unwatchable on its own.

The film's pre-credit voiceover is laughable, and the opening lines of dialogue not much better, but I don't think it deserves its much-maligned reputation
