PURCHASE THE DVD: Xtro (1983)

1983's British Sci-Fi/horror flick Xtro is a weird one, but it's fun for Sci-Fi and horror fans.

Sam disappears suddenly leaving his wife and son Tony. Tony actually saw his dad being sucked up into the sky during a fierce storm, but of course, no one believes him, and it's assumed that Sam has simply abandoned his family.

Three years later, Sam's wife is now living with Joe, but Tony still misses his dad terribly. When what appears to be Sam shows up, Tony welcomes him with open arms, but the wife senses something very different about Sam. Soon, Tony begins to be affected by his Dad in very strange and scary ways.

This film doesn't try to be good; it tries to be scary, gory, and fun to watch. It succeeds pretty well. Fans of this type of flick will love it.
