Scorpion (1989) dives into the familiar territory of creature features, but it’s the sheer absurdity that catches your attention. Picture a small town thrown into chaos by a swarm of killer scorpions—it's campy, sure, but there’s a certain charm in its execution. The practical effects are a mixed bag; some moments really showcase those classic techniques, while others might make you chuckle. The pacing keeps you engaged, though. It’s not afraid to lean into its horror elements, creating a tense atmosphere, especially as the townspeople face off against these relentless little beasts. The performances range from earnest to over-the-top, adding to the film's unique vibe. It’s distinctively '80s in its approach to storytelling and spectacle, definitely worth a watch for collectors who appreciate the oddities of the genre.
