I think it's kinda funny that this movie came out in the same decade as announcements on TV asked "It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your children are?" Let's talk about:
Here we have the classic tale of nuclear waste.
And this waste escaped RIGHT into a school bus full of children! These kids then turn into radioactive beings, going around hugging people to death.
To say this film is a hoot is an understatement.
Naturally, we have the small town sheriff going around trying to solve the weirdness, and primarily driving around at night looking for these kids. These kids, by the way, who hug people to the point of disintegrating them on the spot! The transitions and practical effects are a sight to behold!
We have pregnant moms who are smoking and drinking, half naked moms just sitting around outside in their underwear, moms drinking next to the pool with their boy toys, police playing shoot out with these wandering kids, a Jaws theme song (??) playing when the kids are slowly walking towards their prey, and so much more.
While this is all fun and games, there is one scene that involves a dog that actually shook me up a bit. I think an "Eeegads!" or "My god!" would be an appropriate response.
This film pretty much screams "f*ck them kids", and it's wildly entertaining for it.
[Note, I took a brief break while watching this film and ran into my pregnant neighbor]
Best watched with your child-free friends or frankly, the friends with kids who just need a break. Pairs with beer and your favorite trash food.
I watched this film on Prime, or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this uncut gem.
