Joseph Collins, an ex-con, inherits an abandoned and dilapidated boarding house from his deceased mother, and before he even gets a chance to clean the place, Charlie, Rhonda and their teenage daughter, Daphne, who are really aliens hiding their true identities, arrive for a vacation. Charlie forks over a bundle of cash, and the alien family settles in. The family's idea of a good time is going out on the town and killing criminals and thugs they encounter on the streets, and bringing the body parts back to the boarding house to snack on.

    Reception

Tony Scott wrote in Variety Magazine that the film "depends too much on pre-adolescent gags, and the humor's obvious, the lingo crude, the situations mostly lame, the script bogs down among the excesses, and the windups a letdown."
