Image from: Revenge of the Teenage Vixens from Outer Space, The (1985)

As the extremely subtle, tasteful and artistic title alone suggests, this here is one of those unsung cinematic masterpieces, a monumentally important and incisive cinematic landmark of tremendous cultural significance, a profound and provocative rumination on the complex multi-faceted tenets of the human condition, sheer celluloid poetry ... hey, who the hell am I fooling? Scratch that high-faluting nonsense. As the extraordinarily asinine title truly suggests, this steaming hunk of utterly worthless and artless cinematic offal is a sublimely shoddy, silly and downright stupid slice of slapdash spoofy sci-fi piffle any avid connoisseur of sheer celluloid detritus should relish every last dopey, dunced-out dreckoid minute of.

The so-called "plot" plumbs startling new depths in the history of "you gotta be kidding me!" celluloid idiocy: A luscious quartet of predatory and temperamental outer space babes land in the sleepy hamlet of Mayfield to find hunky attractive teenage fellows to mate with. Any person who ticks off the hot'n'horny extraterrestrial honeys gets transformed into gigantic humanoid vegetables such as carrots, pickles, tomatoes, zucchinis, and even squash! It's up to the boys' insanely jealous and possessive girlfriends to thwart the perniciously seductive distaff alien menace.

Okay, witty and sophisticated the story sure ain't, but frankly who cares about that highbrow artsy crap? In place of that stuff we got a meandering narrative, mostly decent acting from a game no-name cast, a bevy of nice-looking chicks in skimpy outfits, a goofy synthesizer score set to a thumpin' disco beat, a touching subplot concerning one alien mother getting to know the psychic half-human son she had 16 years ago (oh the pathos!), lots of dumb dialogue (sample line: "Wait a minute -- this is ridiculous!"), chintzy (far from) special effects, and cheapo production values that are just a step or two above a homemade stag movie. Granted, this doozy never matches the sidesplitting lunacy of the brilliantly berserk "Invasion of the Girl Snatchers," but it's still an amiably brainless and hugely enjoyable piece of inconsequential fluff all the same.
