"this is a transcendent moment: all my paranoia, justified"
dreamlike moonbeam/pulsepounder that proves dan zuckovic couldve had a jeff combs level career if we'd let him. growing up in east tennessee & north georgia gave jeff burr the power to see stuff other filmmakers dont; this is woke in the original "wise to the bullshit/hidden language" sense - secret child experimentation, huge pants, jncos, and mr belding in tiny matrix shades. influencing machine cinema: "a park bum is using a remote control to shift the level of psychedelic infrared vision i get from my painful, unremovable, invisible goggles." love how charlie bando flipped the corman-bait title to the poochie-ass "x-treme teenz" brand - "a race against time...from outer space." when i…

"You got jail!"
- The cringiest moment of dialogue ever put to film.After a wild cold open involving the dematerialization of some minors, solid C-student Andy Carver (Bryan Neal) moves to a new town, thanks to his stepdad John (Timothy Bottoms) getting a new job at a supersecret science lab.

I like Jeff Burr and his films a lot.
No exception here, even if it slogs a little it still is a good time and hits the check marks I hope for in a kids kinda jam like this.5 bags of popcorn and my own goggles that wont turn invisible and get stuck to my head.

There's something great about Full Moon's children's content. They still have a lot of the same flavor as their horror movies even if the exploitative elements of a Full Moon movie aren't present (though there is a kill at the end that, while kinda silly, I could see upsetting a child.) I didn't see this one, but I really liked Full Moon's kid's movies when I was a kid. Horror directors make fun kid's movies. Ari Aster or James Wan should make Prehysteria 4.

Jeff Burr has a weird career trajectory. From pretty solid/great B-horror director to creating movies that are basically feature length Goosebumps episodes.
