Why tonight?
- Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
- It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.
The story
After Stanley Putterman installs a state-of-the-art satellite dish in his backyard, a strange monster leaps off the screen and needs to feed on humans for survival. The Putterman children Sherman and Suzy—along with Suzy's metalhead boyfriend O.D.—are left to figure out what to do.
