Without Warning

Without Warning (1980) is a low-budget American sci-fi horror you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Greydon Clark. A visitor from another world touches down in the rural backcountry — and to him, Earth is an exotic safari rather than a conquest.

Instead of hunting dogs, the alien releases flying creatures: flat, fanged, jellyfish-like discs that latch onto a victim and refuse to let go. The prey is us. A group of teenagers who ignored every local warning and drove out to camp soon walk straight into the hunting ground. The real reason to dig this one up today is the cast and its place in genre history. Jack Palance and Martin Landau play it dead straight, the monster suit is worn by Kevin Peter Hall — the Predator seven years later — and a very young David Caruso turns up in a bit part. Cheap, rough and a little naive, yet that grain is exactly why old-school horror fans keep it around. Stream Without Warning (1980) online on iFILM.
