Synopsis (courtesy of Wikipedia): Mild-mannered everyman Bart Hughes has a great life in New York.

Bart starts going crazy trying to kill the creature, destroying most of his house in the process.

[Editor’s Note: In a curious twist, while gathering info for this post, I came across this post. Yep, it’s one of the first one’s I wrote for the Forgotten Flix site waaaaaaaaay back in 2010. Only problem is, well, just read what I wrote then and listen to my reaction in the podcast. CND anyone? ‘Nuff said.
