Perversions of Science E9: Ultimate Weapon (1997)

A shapeshifting alien from outer space assumes a human form (Paolo Seganti,  Sotto il vestito niente – L’ultima sfila) in order to mate with Lou Ann Solomon (Heather Langenkamp), a housewife who has enough to put up with. She has an ill-tempered husband, Matt (Mitchell Whitfield), drunk girlfriends Selena and Tess (Kim Myers and Maria Chin) and a visit from her parents (Jennifer Darling and Steve Kahan).

Of course, Langenkamp was Nancy and Kim Myers was Lisa in the Nightmare On Elm Street movies.

This is the only directing credit for Dean Lopata, who is primarily a producer and the story editor on Bones. The story was written by Gilbert Adler and Jeannette Lewis. This is her only script, and most of her career was in minor roles on TV shows.

“The Ultimate Weapon” in Incredible Science Fiction #32 is where the title comes from. The comic was written by Jack Oleck and drawn by Bernie Krigstein and Roy Krenkel.
