Josh:
Hard to believe that this was James Gunn’s feature debut as a writer/director, as it’s surprisingly assured, and Gunn (aided by a very strong, likable cast who understand the task at hand) masters that tricky balance between gross-out horror and gross-out comedy with aplomb, though seeing it again after all these years, it’s only truly transgressive in flashes, and the exploitative air of sexual menace throughout shows Gunn still had some excess Troma left in him. ⏰⏰⏰
Steph:
Even though I don’t always love body horror stuff, I found the major gross out gooey mess of it all to be more effective than the jump scares—but not nearly as effective as dick-shaped worm creatures forcing themselves into bodily orifices—which I guess makes this a zombie-alien film with an interesting take on rape culture and consent. ⏰⏰⏰
