Plot

In the heart of Peru's mysterious caves, space archaeologist Simon Watterman stumbles upon a peculiar discovery: the Munchies. These unique creatures, brimming with mischief and a touch of malevolence, are unlike anything he's ever encountered. Meanwhile, Simon's nefarious twin brother, Cecil Watterman, a shrewd snack food tycoon, seizes the opportunity to kidnap the creature. Unbeknownst to him, the Munchies possess an otherworldly ability: when dismembered, they astonishingly regenerate into a multitude of new creatures. And these aren't your average friendly extraterrestrials; they're as mean as they come. Inadvertently, a young boy finds himself breaking three crucial rules concerning his new pet, thereby unleashing a horde of these mischievous monsters on an unsuspecting small town. The Munchies, once a whispered myth from childhood, are back with a vengeance. The town's residents must band together to prevent themselves from becoming the next 'munchee' in this monstrous mayhem. Munchies is a 3.5-hour rollercoaster ride filled with family fun, suspense, and a dash of dark humor. Will they stop the Munchies from turning their quiet town upside down, or will the Munchies have the last laugh? The only way to find out is to delve into the world of 'Munchies' - where the past meets the present in a thrilling, bite-sized adventure.
