Munch

 

 (imdb)

MUNCHIES-1987-An anthropologist Simon Watterman (Harvey Korman) and his son Paul (Charlie Stratton) find a strange creature in a cave in South America. They name it Arnold and bring it back to the US. While Simon and his girlfriend Cindy have sex, Watterman’s brother Cecil (also Korman) kidnaps the creature with the help of his dim-witted stepson. Arnold splits into 4 separate creatures and they drive a car, smoke pot, drink beer and use a rifle. 

Obviously inspired by GREMLINS and GHOULIES, producer Roger Corman gave this assignment to first time director Tina Hirsch because she had edited GREMLINS. Although she continued to edited movies, she directed only one more after this lame comedy rip-off.
