So I gave this atrocity an 8 because it scared the bejesus out of me when I was a youngster. I mean trees that come to life in general are pretty creepy (Think Poltergeist) This movie has so many facets of bad its hard to list them all. Bad make up bad acting bad accents bad cat fight (Yes, its possible !) bad monster reminds me of an Easter candy - I think its the eyes But as with a lot of really bad movies I feel compelled to watch again on occasion. Good fun for the whole family !!
