Thoughts on Xtro
Thoughts – Xtro is a horror sci-fi movie that will dive into the mystery about what might have happened around an alien abduction and return. It will tend to avoid the basic discussion, turning into the idea that the unexplained will start to be taken over, while giving us some truly wacky sequences when it comes to the kills. This is a movie that is considered a cult classic and you can see why, people are going to be able to have a lot of fun with just how crazy things get in this one. The effects are very good through the film, being everything you would expect in the 1980s.
Final Thoughts – Xtro is everything you want to see in a cult classic.
