TerrorVision!! It’s a perfect example of “over-the-top” in all aspects of the film: the acting, the effects, the production design, and the script. The 80s Grue Crew also laud the casting and directing, resulting in pitch-perfect performances from Diane Franklin, Mary Woronov, Gerrit Graham, Chad Evans, Bert Remsen, Alejandro Rey, Randi Brooks, Jennifer Richards, and Sonny Carl Davis. Even the effects provided by John Carl Buechler and his shop could be perceived as over-the-top. What a fun fun movie! Check out our talkabout and see if you agree!
