Okay, so there's this sorta tubby looking space guy walking around in a really bad gorila suit with a deep sea diver's helmet on. And it seems he's bumped off all the people on Earth, except for eight. Whoops, spoke too soon, there goes two more. Now we're down to six.

Let's see, we've got Daddy who no speaka the good English.
Mommy, who could be a poster girl for ugly pills.
Alice, the big sister who insists on wearing high heels and an evening dress in this rocky desert terrain.
Carla, little sister who gets gets herself strangled by the goofball in the gorilla suit.
Johnny, the little snot-nose brother kid who deserves to get strangled by the goofball in the gorilla suit, but doesn't.
And Roy, our handsome young hero guy who can't keep his hands off big sis, not that she actually wants him to.

The whole flick takes place in and around this huge cave entrance where the gorila guy hangs out. He has electronic gizmos that he uses to talk to another goria guy while soap bubbles gush forth from the machines. Great special effects guys. Our slightly porky gorila dude spends the whole time trying to find our heros so he can blow them away with his death ray thing. But his favorite method for murder is really strangulation. He tries to strangle everybody except Alice because he develops the major hots for her. When the supreme leader of the gorila guys discovers this he destroys the entire world. The end? Not quite.

You gotta see this one to believe it folks. The acting is horrible and the special effects are worse. Electronic equipment that blows soap bubbles, gimme a break. Really, really, really bad.
