Nightbeast 1982

This Troma movie is mildly amusing. An asshole alien crashlands in redneck territory and kills everyone it comes across. A massive gunfight erupts in which several mobile rednecks fire against the stationary Nightbeast, who is blasting his ray gun recklessly and excessively in all directions. Of course, when one of his rays hits a human, the human glows bright before disintigrating, because that's the funny way to do it. So not only is this alien not moving from his spot, but his face doesn't move at all either.

Clearly, they only had enough money to sculpt a mask and some arm/hand pieces for this creature, who otherwise wears a silver space suit. They claim he wants to eat flesh, but he's a wasteful motherfucker on account of all the people he simply vaporizes instead of eats. If he isn't blasting them with his pew-pew gun, he's murdering them in violent ways, using his sharp claws to disembowel them or rip their heads off (which yields some humorously bad SFX at times).

Interspersed throughout the film are subplots, one involving some abusive asshole's desire to bang his woman if her attitude permits, otherwise beat her to death. Then we have a random "sensual" love scene between our ugly dullard sheriff and his blond fluezy deputy. She takes her top off to take a shower and clearly doesn't hide it from him, then when she gets to doing the dirty with him, she takes off her towel to reveal herself as if she didn't just do that a minute ago. She was a terrible actress.

So basically, a mostly impervious alien wanders around with no clear agenda as everybody panics and gets killed by it. Then our dreadful heroes decide at random that it can only be killed by electricity and boom. The movie's over.
