Being, The (1983, USA) C-82m. *½ D: Jackie Kong. Starring Martin Landau, Marianne Gordon, Rexx Coltrane (=Bill Osco), José Ferrer, Dorothy Malone. Pretty bad horror film about a town which is terrorized by a slimy monster, a mutation caused by toxic waste. Basically an ALIEN-ripoff, only with a different setting. Actors are dull, so is script. Horror freaks might enjoy gory effects (and frequent nudity). Filmed in 1980. Alternative titles: FREAK, EASTER SUNDAY, THE POTTSVILLE HORROR.
