A good example of the phenomenon where people who are clearly competent at their jobs work hard to ensure they make a deliberately bad film. Gardeners, their barmaid friend, her flatmate, and a comedy alcoholic war veteran are caught up in a plague of carnivorous pterosaurs from outer space; the plot is basically bits from Sharknado, The Giant Claw, and Tremors all jumbled up together.

A bit overlong even at only 95 minutes, but there is the odd funny line, a sort-of coherent plot, and various attractive young people, the female ones in tight tops. But neverthless: back when special effects were routinely awful, film-makers worked hard to make their stories and characters seem credible; now any goon with a laptop can do decent CGI, the default mode seems to be 'let's not get caught taking ourselves remotely seriously'. Some kind of creative cowardice is in operation at some point in the making of a film like this one. Sample line of dialogue, after one of the female characters is eaten: 'You reptilian asshole! I was about to get laid!' Casablanca, eat your heart out.
