THE PLOT:

A new school councilor comes to a small town and discover that the townspeople don't want her here. She meets a gifted little boy who lost her mother and was adopted by a local shop owner.

Here's where it gets weird, the boy thinks his Father is an alien from another planet. One stormy night while watching an old horror movie a creature arrives on a bolt of lightning.

The Councilor finds out why she's not welcome, the town has a secret. Certain members of town got together and murdered the boy's murder, I guess she has telekinetic powers like her son and anyone different is evil to these small town rednecks.

The creature starts hunting down the murderers, marked by burns caused by an outraged four year old. Any piece of metal scared them and that's how the creature knew whom to attack.

But is the creature real or did the boy create him based on the monster movie he was watching?

ZEDD'S OPINION:

I did enjoy this one, not the best one of the CREATURE FEATURES series and not the worst. That dishonor still goes to "TEENAGE CAVEMAN" But still the human characters were a little weak. Plus, why didn't anyone else in town call the State Troopers if they suspected foul play?
I GIVE IT...6 STARS

I was slightly more disappointed with this one then Zedd was. Even though the remake of "TEENAGE CAVEMAN" was the worst one of the CREATURE FEATURES. I was hoping for more. Still this remake is Oscar material compared to the original made by Roger Corman.
I GIVE IT....5 STARS

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL (Much better then the movie's name sake)
+CREATURE (The monster effects are pretty cool)
+STORY (The story was quite original)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

-SECRET MURDER (How can anyone get away with a secret murder, plus killing someone because they have mind powers is just wrong, what is this? The Salem Witch Hunt?)
-TOWNSPEOPLE (Since only a handful of townspeople were involved, someone should have came clean to the girl or called the State Police long ago)

And Finally:

-ENDING (Without giving it away, the ending ws less then perfect)
