Product Description
Video Details
From Marvel/Claster, the team behind Transformers and G.I. Joe, comes another action-packed wonder, INHUMANOIDS, which debuted on television in 1986. Long ago, the Inhumanoids (Metlar, Tendril and D'Compose) were defeated by the Mutores (Granites, Redwoods and Magnakor), who imprisoned the Inhumanoids under the Earth's crust until unsuspecting humans dug them up, unleashing their evil. Now, a team of scientists (Armstrong, Bright, Auger and Liquidator) called Earth Corps teams up with the Mutores to take on the Inhumanoids and stop their plans to destroy the planet.
Part 1: A preserved dinosaur is discovered in the Big Sur National Forest. The dinosaur is Tendril, a hideous creature buried during ancient times who unleashes his fury with his ally D'Compose. It is up to the Earth Corps team to stop the Inhumanoids. The team hopes to prevent the Inhumanoids from releasing the evil tyrant Metlar.
Part 2: The Earth Corps manage to subdue Tendril, but only for a short while. The Corps agree to an alliance with Sandra Shore, who will fund their efforts, but only with some underlying conditions. With the looming threat of Metlar's release, the newly formed Earth Corps go into battle and three members of the team are taken hostage by the creature.
Part 3: The members of the Earth Corps retreat into the ruins of Granite City after being nearly destroyed by the Inhumanoids. While in the ruins, the Corps meets Granok, leader of the Granites. He informs them of Blackthorne^Rs attempt to control Metlar. The Corps must split into three teams to stop the Inhumanoids from destroying the Earth and it will take every ounce of their skill to stop the evil that lies within.
Part 4: In order for Metlar to make the Inhumanoids even stronger, D^RCompose steals a raw energy source. The battle between good and evil rages on as Armstrong and the granites score a major victory when the decomposed Sandra is exposed to sunlight and transformed back to her beautiful self.
Part 5: Metlar and the Inhumanoids locate the primal energy source at a Soviet weapons depot and destroy the base and its members. In the process, they steal enough firepower to obliterate the earth. Blackthorne and Senator Masterson must approach the Corps to re-unite forces with the intention of defeating the Inhumanoids.
150 Minutes.

Was my childhood really this sad?,
By Zagnorch (Terra, Sol System) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inhumanoids: The Evil That Lies Within (DVD)
Taking another voyage back to the womb, I decided to check out one of the more memorable 'toon series of my youth, 'The InHumanoids'. I recall a few kinda graphic scenes from some later eppies (sadly, none of which appears in this DVD) that burned this show into my memories of those 80s kidvid glory days. And after viewing 'InHumanoids' again for the first time in over a decade, I came to the realization that I was easily entertained as a kid, 'cause the years that've gone by haven't been too kind to this series. The storyline's pace is too fast and somewhat disjointed- there were some places that need a link or bridge, but instead just cuts right to the next thing. Alla sudden, the heroes are in one place, then another, then split up, with only some passing banter explaining what's going down. You've got all of these things going on, but there's really not enough time to explain it all in the five shows that make it up. Of course, when you're ten years old, it's not like you care too much about the story-- you're just killin' the time between 'Yogi Bear & Pals' and whatever other horrid Hanna-Barbera monstrosity awaits after this show is over with!And let's not forget a running list of those infamous cartoon cliches that pop up, such as corny back-and-forth banter between the heroes, the 'G.I. Joe' method of not killing pilots by havin' them parachute out right before the aircraft explodes, and other silliness. Throw in the less-than-subtle hint (to the 'rents, anyway) that the show is yet another glorified toy ad (this was produced by the guys who put out 'G.I. Joe' & 'Transformers', after all), and you've got your basic 80s action-adventure 'toon show. I only wish the animation quality was as good as those other two series. Put the all-too-quick pace and the less-than-stellar moving cels together, and you've got one of 'toondom's most pathetic rush-jobs! Still, even with all of its ridiculous moments and lapses in quality, 'InHumanoids' does have a certain degree of that lovable cartoon cheesiness to it. Not nearly to the extent of its far-more-popular Hasbro-manufactured brethren, mind you. But hey, you can't have everything! And it'll always remain a sentimental bit of nostalgia from my youth, no matter how hard I try to forget! 'Late

Rhino puts together an adequate DVD..,
By SiC "siccoyote" (Burton on Trent, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inhumanoids: The Evil That Lies Within (DVD)
This DVD is good enough I guess, it is the first 5 episodes as they were first broadcast with all the recaps and all that. One thing that bugged me right from the start(litterally) was that the intro was changed. The "Inhumanoids" track was much too loud and dominating, the background music was almost inaudible & there was another voice track missing entirely, I just played my copy of the movie to compare. The quality of the picture and sound is probably the best you could expect and there probably isn't a better source. The packaging: Myself I would have preferred some of the original artwork used to promote Inhumanoids rather than the new artwork on the cover. Also one last note on the content of the disc, I've only seen the abridged version before so I never knew how much it goes back on itself, you will get to a break then when it comes back from the brack they pretty much re-enact the last minute or more of action, with different animation and sound, strange.(It's as if they didn't have enough story to stretch over 5 episodes) A note on the title on here, I don't know why they call is Parts 1 & 2 as it's parts 1-5 and the other DVD is the first 4 episodes of the series that came after this mini series, then there is just 4 episodes left after that so the thought of them releasing the whole series (These 5 & 8 More Episodes) is not an unlikely one.

The long awaited return of the Inhumanoids,
By Holly Apollyon "Messiah of Regret and Entropy" (The Overlook Hotel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inhumanoids: The Evil That Lies Within (DVD)
Probably my favorite cartoon ever, and the first real emergence of cartoon horror I can remember. The Inhumanoids themselves, imprisoned in the bowels of the earth, were stark, Lovecraftian monstrosities both in their ancient appetites and titan proportions. D' Compose was a rotten, gangling zombie with the ability to spread undeath by touch. Tendril was a crawling, devouring horror with the tentacled maw of Cthulhu. Metlar was the alpha male demon, hellish king of his elder minions. There was a sense of smallness and desperation to the humans that confronted the monsters, though they were aided by a rival race, again Lovecraftian, that strove to return the Inhumanoids to their prison. Later, we saw even darker twists of the story, such as the arrival of Nightcrawler, undead spawn of D' Compose, or even the emergence of another Inhumanoid, a gelatinous cyclops with an appetite for anything and everything. There's no telling where the show might have gone, if it had continued. But, I guess in those days the show was just squeezing past the censors, so as much as it irritated me it didn't really surprise me when the show got canned. The great ones are all usually cut off in their prime. Nothing makes me happier than to see the show now resurrected, as if by the twisted claw of D' Compose himself. The fact that the Inhumanoids have returned via DVD is better still. Two Big thumbs up to the show, and two thumbs up to the boys at Rhino too.
