About Lobster Man from Mars
A young film student tries to sell his weird movie to a desperate film producer who is in need of a tax write-off. The producer screens the film "Lobster Man From Mars", and what follows is a bizarre sci-fi film-within-a-film: Mars suffers from an air leakage, and send the dreaded Lobster Man to Earth to steal its air. The plot is foiled by a mad scientist, a girl, and an army colonel.
Directed by Stanley Sheff, Lobster Man from Mars leans on a strong ensemble — Deborah Foreman, Dean Jacobson, S.D. Nemeth — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1990.
