Munchies

Munchies

... Just when you thought it was safe to raid the fridge!

198787 min4.8 / 10

A campy, creature-feature comedy that blends sci-fi absurdity with horror-comedy tropes, leaning heavily into playful monster mayhem and 1980s snack-food satire.

Simon Watterman, a space archaeologist, discovers the "Munchies" in a cave in Peru. Cecil Watterman, Simon's evil twin brother and snack food entrepreneur, kidnaps the creature. What Cecil does not know is that the creature, when chopped up, regenerates into many new creatures and are they mean!
