Well at least the poster colors match Christmas!  Unfortunately, not recommended at Christmas or any other time.

A space capsule lands on earth but its astronaut is missing.  There are no signs of his body but a highly radioactive field in the area.  At the same time, a ten foot mutant monster roams the streets wreaking havoc.  Is he the missing astronaut or is it all just a coincidence?

The monster barely shows up at all and when he does could not outrun a small child.  The rest of the movie tries and fails to be hip.  90-minutes that just drag out interminably.  Watched the MST3K version after the original and the badness is only intensified.
