 I remember seeing this movie when I was about 7 or 8, and I remember it sucking even then. I recently saw it on a TV show that likes to tear apart bad movies, which will remain nameless (though I bet most of you know what it is), and it sucks as much now as it did then. Just the fact that the movie seems deliberately campy saves it from total failure (even though the humor isn't really all that good). Basically, a rookie security guard accidentally lets little monsters out of an old movie vault where they wreak havoc upon society. Apparently the monsters can bring the victim's wildest fantasy to life, which often ends up killing them in the process (although it's strange that only one non-fantasy person ends up dead in the entire movie). If you decide to rent this cheesy and unrespectable flick, be sure to invite lots of friends over to tear it apart. Things to watch for: The hideously stupid and obvious puppet monsters; the guy who gets blown up by a grenade, set on fire, and returns miraculously unharmed at the end of the movie; the ridiculous why-didn't-they-just-do-that-in-the-first-place ending; bad, trying hard to be funny dialogue; an apparently well-planned out makeout spot; electric keyboard generated noise EVERY time a garden tool hits something (that's right, garden tools);and finally, a bouncing van, NOT moving due to hydraulics (you know what I mean), with accompanying sound effects.
