Great cast of then-unknowns, fun dialogue from start to finish, just enough bits of action, and the whole thing is a little bit offbeat but not weird. If you're into not-quite-mainstream stuff, I recommend.

We marvel at films today, but I think that the folk that made that movie ATE! It's one of my favorites of all time, but I think it's underrated by everyone else.
Please tell me about it?
It's from the 80s. I found a trailer. Just look at the alien and the child alien. Looks real, I like most of the effects. I mean, it's from the 80s so look at it from that perspective. The story is good but I can see why people may not like it.
I know that I may be biased because I first saw it as a kid, but I still really like it. I see the effects that may seem cheesy today, but I can see the excellent work for that time, I know Alien and Terminator movies and such. I don't know who did the work on the baby alien and its movements, but it really looks like a real baby, they put in some good work. When he's feeding it, sure with today's eyes it's a little stiff but just look at the tongue popping in and out. I dunno, I like the movie a lot.

If you watch it, can you tell me what you think? Tell me what I'm missing or overlooking that makes people overlook it. I was surprised it was on tv, I rarely see it and it used to be hard to find a stream.

It might be a little scary for very young kids and go over their head, but nothing super objectionable in my judgement. You can definitely tell it's a Tim Burton production and I get a Harry Potter vibe too. So it's a good watch for older kids/teens/families, but I'm an adult with no kids and loving it so far.
And I can tell why that Jenna Ortega girl has become a big star, she is very adorable and totally nails the part.
