Also known as Strange Behaviour (and very heavily echoed in 1998’s Disturbing Behaviour), this co-production between the US, Australia and New Zealand pays homage to 50s exploitation films in its tale of a mad scientist turning the local children of Galesburg, Illinois (played by Auckland, NZ) into raging homicidal maniacs. Featuring one of the most memorable party scenes from a decade packed with them, this is an overlooked slice of tongue-and-cheek 80s schlock sci-fi/horror.
