A civilization on a distant planet has found a way to solve its garbage problem: turning it into energy and beaming it into outer space. A flaw in this system is found when the signal is accidentally picked up on Earth by the Putterman Family’s home satellite dish. While this would ordinarily be just another mess, this particular transmission contains a hungry trash monster who quickly begins snacking on various Puttermans. Only young Sherman Putterman has any clue what is going on, but nobody will believe him. Is there any hope for the Earth? —IMDb

Really goofy Charles Band production is hard to get through even for fans of cheesy B-movies. The hokey special effects and colorful production design make for some fun atmosphere, but the overwrought performances and dopey plot get annoying real fast, and the 80 minute running time seems to drag on and on as it just gets louder and stupider. Only die-hard cult movie fans should even attempt this one.
