A little boy who has an extensive array of pets he likes to call “specimens” finds an alien egg to hatch. The creature manages to use his snout to suck up peanuts and warp time and space with his fingers. Unfortunately, his brother who is found by poachers go on a killing spree. The film was originally meant to be about evil aliens, but the producers demanded script alterations in order to cash in on the success of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by featuring a child and a cute, lovable alien. —IMDb
