When a group of teenagers arrive at their cabin to find the front door missing, furniture overturned and Oscar winner George Kennedy ranting about the “Thing” that carried off his little girl, they naturally flee in terror. Nah, just kidding. Because they’re in a horror movie, they hang around so they can make out and get high, which backfires when Bigfoot shows up to tear down walls, snap necks and steal their toaster.

Filmed in barely two weeks for the price of a Cadillac, with a supporting cast that includes X-rated starlet Michelle Bauer and Playmate Pamela Gilbert (gee, do you think they’ll get naked?), Demonwarp isn’t just your average Z-grade monster movie. For one thing, how often do you see an Oscar winner attempt to trap the monster by calling him a “woolly bast**d”?

But the film’s strongest moment is its climactic revelation – Bigfoot turns out to be just one of several werewolf-zombie hybrids living in a space ship operated by a cackling priest and his master, a claw-handed archangel that eats the hearts of naked starlets. Didn’t see that one coming, did you?
