I recently bought this from Ebay. I remember seeing parts of this when I wasa kid, so I ended up buying this. I knew I couldnt take this movie 2 seriously. Geez, this movie is good old cheesy fun. Its about a gooey alien monster that gets transported into the Putterman's satelitte dish. All the main people in the movie are weird in their own way. The effects for monster & Pluther were pretty good. If u r looking for a chessy B-movie about a gooey monster, a weaponry taken kid & grandpa & parents that like to 'swing', then this is the movie for u.

This is a 'B' movie classic! Here in Britain during the 1980's, Empire pictures, Vestron and Entertainment in Video were the undisputed kings of straight-to-video masterpieces, including such brilliant rubbish as 'Robot Jox', 'Rawhead Rex' and...TERRORVISION! Character breakdown: an alien called a 'hungry beast' that materializes through people's televisions and is 'into metal', another alien called Pluthod who's here to save earth from the 'hungry beast' that just happens to be a friendly pet on his planet, a bi-sexual Greek swinger called Spyros and his beautiful but incredibly dizzy wife, a military obsessed mentally unstable Grandpa and way too young for guns hyper-active mentally unstable Grandson, a Cindy Lauper-a-like teenager, her Heavy metal freak boyfriend 'O.D.', her swinging satellite T.V. and exercise obsessed parents and an alcoholic Elvira-type T.V. host. I won't tell you the 'plot', but I defy you to put all these characters and elements together under one roof (yes, all the action takes place in one house!) and create a movie! I had the pleasure of owning this wonderful piece of garbage on video a few years ago and I'm begging whoever owns the rights to it now for a DVD release!

Terrorvision was one of those 80's cult classics that I never got round to watching until now, I went in expecting very little but came away quite amused. Telling the story of an extraterrestrial being beamed down to earth into a families satellite dish and running rampant with an unearthly hunger its a scifi comedy horror that actually entertains. With a host of familiar faces and a retro soundtrack this creature feature actually looks quite good considering its age. It reminded me of Critters (1986) and alike that the creators didn't take it all too seriously. Over the top, silly yet at the same time quite horrific this is a true 80's gem and a lot of fun. The Good: Great creature effects Likable cast All looks the part The Bad: Feels very dated in places Things I Learnt From This Movie: If you prank call the police they'll block your number Being "Greek" in the swinging world means you're gay

Can't help it, I love this dorky pile of schlock. While, yes, it is a bad homage to cheesy horror films, it has a "certain naive charm." Plot: An alien pet which has been disintegrated and shot into space (the alien equivalent of "putting to sleep") is accidentally picked up by a haywire satellite receiver (remember back when they were the size of a hot tub, rather than a dinner plate?) and begins to appear - and come out of - the various TVs of the Putterman household. The Puttermans aren't your average family, either - Mom and Dad like to swing (and the house is LOADED with the least tasteful erotic art I've ever seen), Grampa is some kind of vet who lives in the basement/bomb shelter and tries to sell people on the ultimate survival food - lizard tail jerky ("you break off its tail, and it grows another one, then you break that one off, and it grows another one!!"), sister Suzy is a Cyndi Lauper clone, and Sherman, the baby (well, he's probably about 12) seems normal, but comments are constantly being made as to his "meds" and the possibility of being sent back to the doctor... It's like the Addams family by way of the self-serving 80s. (spoilers) So the alien starts to eat people. That's because it's a Hungry Beast - its insatiable appetite is what got it vaporized in the first place. It can also extrude simulacrums of anyone whom it has eaten, and speak in their voices - meaning that even after dad and mom are appetizers, they can still tell the kids to butt out when questioned about what's going on in their bedroom. ("Gross!") Oh, and there's a lot of goo. However, the movie takes a sentimental turn when Sherman, who has only survived by breaking every TV in sight ("securing the perimeter") and set off grenades, is joined by his sister and her boyfriend O.D. (a metalhead, complete with black leather and spikes) - they manage to make friends with the beast and start training it to speak (O.D. - "you know, like in that movie with the ugly little alien that made you cry like a butt-head."). Nothing nice lasts, and the ending leaves you wondering just how much of the world the Hungry Beast may be able to devour. My favorite part (among many) of this movie is Medusa - she's a late-night horror hostess (very much an Elvira clone with a head of foam-rubber snakes) who Sherman calls and tells about the monster. I also love Grampa's attitude toward TV: "War flicks and monster movies - they're both survival oriented!" The movie is never taken seriously (even by the actors, who ham up every moment), and just plain fun to boot. In a world of cheese, this is one of those movies I come back to over and over again. One parting warning (courtesy of Grampa): "Brain shot - gets 'em every time!!!"

If it were possible for a complete parody to be called original, "Terrorvision" (1986) would be the first to qualify. This is another cheap Albert and Charles Band (Empire Studios) production, but is not as mindless as something like "Redneck Zombies" and even has a bit of lyrical (yet very silly) charm. Everyone involved is obviously having a good time and the creature is much like something Richard Carlson would have encountered in a 1950's sci-fi film, but with much more slime. Not until "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" would there be a more self-aware genre parody. Although rated "R" because of some off-color humor, it would not be worth denying middle schoolers the pleasure of viewing this film because the overall style and effect is best appreciated by that age group. Sherman Putterman is your standard alien monster film kid who has seen a monster but can't get anyone else to believe him. His grandpa (Bert Remsen in the film's best performance) is a survivalist promoting his lizard tail jerky product (the perfect food because lizards' tails grow back and you can eat it again) and hiding out in his well-stocked fallout shelter. Sherman's swinging parents are Gerrit Graham (who played superstitious car salesman Jeff in "Used Cars") and Mary Woronov ("Eating Raoul"). 1980's teen queen Diane Franklin plays Sherman's sister Suzy and Jon Gries (of "Pretender" fame) is her boyfriend "O.D." who is really into heavy metal music. Franklin is almost unrecognizable in her mid-1980's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" look. Although the parody is primarily directed at the excessive cuteness of "ET", "Terrorvision" also goes after Elvira and Vampira with a similar late night horror show hostess called Medusa who wears a wig of snakes, has two enormous talents, and manages a host(ess) of semi-explicit puns. The real star is an alien house pet whose mutation into a hungry beast forced its owners to send its atoms out into space. The film begins on a distant planet where this mutated pet is being processed at the mutated creature facility. A stray planet causes the creatures atoms to deflect through space until it finally is sucked down to earth by Sherman's father's new satellite dish. By the middle of the film the monster has chewed and sucked its way through most of the family and their friends when Sherman, Suzy, and OD have an "ET" moment with it. The monster can mimic anyone it has eaten so the other cast members have a couple of post- demise scenes. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

Stan (Gerrit Graham) installs a state-of-art satellite TV system for his dysfunctional family. However, he accidentally picks up a signal from another planet and his television system becomes the gateway between the two planets. A ravenous alien creature comes to his apartment and only their son Sherman (Chad Allen) sees the monster, but his parents do not believe in the boy. "TerrorVision" is a cult-trash from the 80´s and a highly entertaining sci-fi. The characters and the situations are hilarious but maybe the funniest scene is Medusa meeting the last hope to save Earth, Pluthar. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "A Visão do Terror" ("The Terror Vision")

well, i saw some comment's on the film's music. the band who wrote and performed all the themes are an l.a "art" punk band called: "the Fibonaccis", the movie soundtrack is almost impossible to get. those fibonaccis guys are really one of it's kind, play some strange mixture of lounge and punk music, with obvious 50's, 60's retro, like the movie itself. and for the movie, i just love it, light, cheesy entertainment, with lot's of weird stuff and a monster who ate'em all. it is just plain simple and clear that this is intended bad taste. and unlike some other "the worst the better" trash flicks, this one just works great. o.d character is kicking ass, and the "this is food, this is rocknroll" scenes are over the top. the set that in this case is the family's house is a mess, in a good way of course. it seems like the movie is being taken in some futuristic period of time, with a sixties mood in it. a world where everyone is in to party's, late t.v, and cooool cars.

TerrorVision is apparently a horror-comedy; but I have a problem with this. Any horror in the film is laughable; but like the rest of the movie, it's not laughable in the funny kind of way. No, this film is just lame, and unlikely to be enjoyed by anyone over (or under) the age of ten. I'll get the positive elements of the movie out of the way quickly so I can comment on the more prolific bad elements of the film. The film is about a newly installed satellite dish that begins to receive signals from another planet. These signals are apparently (and fittingly) another planet's rubbish that they've converted into energy to get rid of it. However, a trash monster is accidentally beamed down, and begins to cause trouble. To director Ted Nicolaou's credit, he does create a good and fitting atmosphere, as the film always feels like one of those tacky TV shows that America makes. The film gets off to a lively start with a daft song that is played over the opening credits, and a glimpse at the offending alien world. The good points end there, however, as it's all downhill from then on. We are introduced to an array of irritating characters, including a punk girl and her 'Bill and Ted' style boyfriend, a swinging pair of parents, the common 'senile' grandfather and some kid who hallucinates, apparently. From there on out, it's obvious that there's going to be little in the way of interesting elements in this amazingly dull film, and despite the scriptwriter's best efforts at being funny; this film really is anything but. Aside from being lame, the film is also boring as most of the running time concerns the characters wallowing in their own weirdness; and all this showed me is that swinging can be very boring (not that I've ever actually tried it...). The creature effects are purposefully silly, but look like something out of a kids program; not a proper movie, and since the film focuses mainly on the kids; it does feel very much like a movie made for children, and so in unlikely to offer anything in the way of enjoyment for serious horror fans. I do realise that this is meant to be a bit of fun and isn't to be taken seriously; but it's not fun and that's the problem. Avoid.
