Xtro is an extremely entertaining, nicely-photographed, fairly well-acted and efficient little exploitation movie with fun special effects, lots of gore, some sleaze and many memorably oddball moments worth checking out. The director also co-wrote it and did the awesome synthesizer score.
This production is also noteworthy for being produced by Robert Shaye and his then fledgling New Line Cinema; who handled the U.S. distribution. It was one of only two horror releases that predated their company-stabilizing hit A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
