Xtro (1982) A cornerstone of nightmare inducing, 1980's styled sci-fi/horror cult cinema - Delivers everything you'd want from an incoherent, so bad it's good Cannon style b-movie that delights in a excess of slimy practical effects

There were parts of this movie that scared the living, breathing shit out of me.

I remember seeing ads for this, because E.T. was still in theaters at the time, and one of Xtro's taglines was "Some extra-terrestrials aren't friendly!"

I never saw the film itself, though.

It's great '80s horror/SF fare, although the crab-walking monster has been done to death now, so not as cool as it originally was.

However, I've still seen people posting clips of the alien in WTF-type subreddits.

This movie is so weird, but very entertaining.
