GUTS

THEY BITE! THEY TEAR!! THEY EAT...your guts it seems! This particular little nasty is dripping with squelchy-looking gristle FX- and has a plot that pulls ridiculous turns to wedge in as much creatures-bursting-from-abdomens scenes as possible. Its a bit reminiscent of, say, Basket Case in that it give a surprising amount of character development to the central monster- which is implanted in unsuspecting Hospital patients, only to gorily chew it's way out later. Of course there is a climatic showdown between the Head Surgeon and the Hero where we discover the 'Guts' are in fact the first wave of an alien invasion, but you saw that coming didn't you? 7/10
