THE DARK 1979 (SHRIEK SHOW)

One of my favorite chillers from the 70's is this film about an alien who comes to earth and proceeds to rip people's heads off in a violent murder spree in Los Angeles. William Devane stars as a man who is seeking the killer of his daughter and Cathy Lee Crosby is the female reporter on the story for her news show.
Richard Jaeckel is the police detective trying to capture the killer.
Why the alien has come to earth is never explained, but who cares, this movie moves at a very fast pace and is enjoyable all the way thru.
Casey Kasem is the police pathologist who is helping catch the killer, and it's always a pleasure to see the man behnd the familiar voice on American Top 40, and John Bloom is the alien who can even shoot laserbeams out of his eyes.
If you like sci-fi, and I mean fun sci-fi check this film out, you won't be disappointed.
