Invasion! Movie Review 1999

Deliberately tacky and frequently amusing spoof of alien invasion flicks. Atomic scientist Dr. Karel Lamonte (Scott) comes to the town of Exceptional Vista just after the local TV tower is hit by a big meteor. It's hard to tell if aliens have invaded since the townspeople are so weird to begin with, but they have. And they turn out to be the cannibalistic kind who take to munching on the locals. Oh, and it turns out that TV is the key to the aliens' destruction.
