Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Gloriously rubbery mutant lizards that defy physics and dignity.

Production

Snowy New Zealand standing in for generic American nowhere.

Best for:Friends: Irony-soaked group watch with running commentary.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry to absurd creature feature energy.
Heads up:Gore: Cheesy but frequent lizard-on-human munching scenes.

Trivia

Shot in New Zealand but desperately pretends to be rural America—note the suspiciously Kiwi-accented background extras.

Cultural

Part of the late-90s direct-to-video creature feature boom that followed Tremors' unexpected success.
