Director Joe Dante's tribute to Cold War-era paranoia and monster movies stars John Goodman as a B-horror filmmaker (lovingly based on "gimmick king" William Castle) who arrives in 1962 Key West, Florida, on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis to preview his latest work-the man-insect shocker "Mant"-while some local teens wonder if their first dates will be their last. Simon Fenton, Omri Katz, Kellie Martin, Cathy Moriarty also star, with a number of cameos. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English. Two-disc set.
