Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

ender34 This modest little film packs a pretty good punch for anyone willing to take it for what it is. The story was well paced and the ending was unexpected (by me and I think by most posters). The performances were all at least adequate; Bobby Edner's was better than that. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of most of the reviews posted here. Half the reviewers couldn't spell Kinski's name even while they drooled over her looks. Many complained about the cheesy special effects (or rather 'effect' since there was only one), apparently unaware that the cheesiness was deliberate. Some reviewers seem not to have understood the denouement though it was clearly spelled out. Others seem to have watched the entire film expecting it to be a remake of its namesake and came away shaking their heads at the fact that it wasn't. I give the film a 7 (would be 7+ if there were such a rating) but this review thread as a whole rates a 3 (and that only because of a few posters who actually understood the filmmakers' intentions).

erotic_Wyter I am only giving this movie a 1 out of 10 because I can't give it a minus 10! I am sorry, when it comes to scary movie, I am the BIGGEST chicken ever but this movie didn't even make me go eep! This movie is so horrible. The only reason why I kept watching it was because I was thinking "there is no way this movie can get any worse" but I was wrong! Even after I found out that I was wrong, I kept on watching after that was because I wanted to see how much worse it could get. The story had promise but they did nothing with it! I think a bunch of people just got together and said "people will watch anything. Lets stick Randy Quaid, Natassa in a movie together and just to push it lets stuck a weird looking kid...make that Bobby Edner and name it something really cool!" And why in the hell did they write the same question over and over being said by the same person...Predictability is the word that comes to mind... this movie is a train-wreck and the people who thought it was a good idea to make it need some serious help.If I could give you advise its "STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!" after you watch it you're going to wish the world had ended...

Ray Massart Well, not really bad for an evening's entertainment. If you can digest a mixture of outdated horror effects, pseudo psychological insights combined with a plot that verges on the incredible ... astonishingly enough, you'll consider this movie as fairly amusing. The fact that "The Day.."succeeds in keeping our attention focused on the developing story is obviously due to the great acting by Natassja Kinski and Randy Quaid. Miss Kinski is not only a natural talent but a very beautiful lady who seems to become more attractive as the years go by: her appearance always seems to blend perfectly with her actual age. It remains a mystery why one has not seen her more frequently in top-class productions.Randy Quaid needs no renewed appraisal: he has a remarkable presence and performs equally convincingly in both comedy and drama. It's sometimes difficult however not to picture him as cousin Eddie in "Christmas Vacation", certainly in this movie when at a certain moment he appears on the deck in front of his house with Christmas illuminations in the background. Bobby Edner gets away with a kind of "Sixth Sense" imitation and as for the monster who is very threatening and bloodthirsty at the beginning and in profile definitely resembles a Tyrannosaurus Rex, well, at the very end he obviously winks at the child but also at us, the audience, as if to convey the message: "Please do not take all of this too seriously!"

willywants Horror film finds a killer alien, who is just misunderstood, devouring people. A school psychologist (Nastassja Kinski) investigates the death of a student's mother and finds the boy (Bobby Edner) believes he is the son of the being. His earthling father (Randy Quaid) is also a doctor who has the boy in his care and holds that it is all in the boy's imagination...or is it? A good cast and an original premise high-light this mediocre made-for-TV monster flick. The creature effects aren't bad but the film generally lacks tension, suspense and gore and is rather predictable despite a good, well-written finale and adequate direction from Terence Gross. Interestingly, the title has absolutely nothing to do with the film (Not to mention the fact that this movie is completely unrelated to the 1956 original Roger Corman film barring the same name!). Check out the "face-skinning scene for some hilariously bad effects. 4.5/10.
