http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php?topic=124184.0.  I wrote,

A one eyed tentacle monster (called a Ghota) eats a large portion of the population of a Hollywood backlot town while being hunted by an alien marshall named Urp.  It's a faithful recreation of a 1957 "aliens among us" sci-fi thriller aimed at teens (right down to rear-projection used for the driving scenes).  The obvious inspiration was THE BLOB. 

The nice thing is that they played it completed straight; they didn't try to wink to the audience or take a superior or mocking attitude towards the material.  There are still subtle moments of intentional unintentional humor, and Dan Lauria chews the scenery pretty well.  Critics gave it bad reviews (I can't understand why), but the audience seemed to enjoy it a lot.  Nostalgic and has an obvious love of the movies that inspired it.  3/5.

Didn't notice an agent Doggett, but I wasn't looking for it.

Robert Patrick is Doggett !

Man, the DVD isn't over here yet. I hope it gets a region 2 release.

August 11 is the DVD release date; no idea about region 2, though.
