Good, but not great
by BretM-32025-05-27
5/10

"Munchies is an interesting film. It's definitely trying to ride off the popularity of creature feature critter movies like "Gremlins" or "Ghoulies," but it does so in an interesting manner. The first part of this movie is a little more straightforward with a few jokes here and there. But a little over halfway through, we go to just straight up comedy. By the end of this movie, rather than being a knock off of the previously mentioned movies, it's more of a parody. Just straight up spoofing movies like Gremlins and Ghoulies. The budget for this film is also so low ..."
