Also known as: Judas Goat, X-tro

Description: An unforgettable gem of 1980s British sci-fi horror, Xtro begins with the sudden alien abduction of a father, Sam Phillips, witnessed by his young son Tony. Three years later, Sam returns—reborn through one of cinema’s most grotesque and surreal sequences—and he’s no longer entirely human.

As he tries to reconnect with his estranged family, Sam’s eerie transformation begins to influence Tony, imbuing the boy with disturbing alien powers. Soon, bizarre and deadly occurrences unravel around them: resurrected toys become killers, neighbors fall victim to twisted deaths, and an ominous alien agenda slowly takes shape.

Blending body horror, domestic drama, and psychedelic sci-fi absurdity, Xtro delivers a chaotic onslaught of grotesque imagery, strange humor, and low-budget ingenuity. With its infamous birth scene, killer clown dwarfs, and weaponized toys, this cult classic defies explanation and embraces its own weirdness with unapologetic confidence.

A must-see for fans of cult cinema, Xtro stands as a surreal and slimy relic of British exploitation filmmaking—and an unforgettable trip into the unknown.
