A Forgotten Little Gem

I turned this movie on in the middle when it was playing on cable a long time ago and I was very impressed with it.

I'm not even a big horror film fan.

I just think the idea of arms coming out of a TV set to grab people and terrorize them was just so original and obviously so easy to film, and such a low-budget thing to pull off it just made one think, "why didn't I think of that?"

Just thought I'd leave my props for this little gem.

Yeah, I enjoyed this movie also. I saw it years ago before Blockbuster bought out all the Erol's Video stores and remember the cover was pretty cool. It took me many years to finally find it again. It is worth looking for.

I finally found it on amazon. It's worth looking for. great cheese and gore.

I thought this film was a good deal of schlocky fun. The filmmakers brought a certain clunkily sincere quality to the offbeat premise that's impossible to either dislike or resist.
