Is this the Movie I've been looking for???

Hey Guys,
I've been looking for a movie for years now and this sounds like the one. Watched it in the UK almost 15-17 years ago when I was in my early teens. It was a really good Alien movie. From what I can remember it was set in a forest and people were being killed by these spinning discs (I don't recall them having teeth though) flying through the forest and impaling them. The source of the discs is kept hidden until the final few scenes when the Alien creature is revealed. I think he had a big forehead and looked octopus like?!
Is this the one? Surely? I only found this page after typing 'Spinning discs in forest' on google! Anyone want to expand the plot and refresh my memory, please?!

This sounds like exactly the film ur looking for!! The plot is really people being killed one by one by these flying creatures. 4 kids go for a swim in the lake, 2 of them are found in an old shack with 3 other dead people. After the 2 kids discover this they are helped by garage owner, Jack Palance. The alien is revealed at the end. It is tall, big bald head but not octupus like.

Does this help??

You won't find it on an official DVD and the VHS copies floating around are aweful quality.

blue juice-2,
If you want a really good version of WITHOUT WARNING
on DVD,then look no further than www.monstersinmotion.com
That's where I got my copy. It costs 20 dollars,but it
is worth it!

Thanks eddiechristo, I have been struggling trying to get my hands on a copy. All I find under eBay under the heading 'Without warning' is an Xbox - Ps2 video game, a novel and a Green Day CD!!! I will try that website you suggested, many thanks! I don't use VHS anymore so it has to be DVD - I do hope the transfer has been touched up and quality is good. Can't wait to see what it looks like after all these years!

Does anybody know if this is the movie I am looking for...I don't know all the specifics...but

It was a low budget made between 1980 and 1995. The plot: family kids discover a monster living in the park or forest. I believe it eats dogs or the dogs find it-regardless dogs play a part...maybe it likes other animals. The monster may be half human. It has wierd leaf like horn/antler things on its head. It has a wierd bubbly greenish brown reptilian flesh. I know it used to be played of TV I believe on the Sci fi channel in the mid 90's a lot. It almost a comedy, but scary as a kid....like i said, i don't remember much-but the answer has to be out there!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Mark

No,it's not WITHOUT WARNING. The monster in this movie
is not green and there are no dogs in WITHOUT WARNING.

Try HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP. It has a dog in it
attacking a green monster.

...or it might be RANA:THE LEGEND OF SHADOW LAKE(1975).

I've had Without Warning on VHS for ages. Even have the original cover. Never seen the DVD version, but if I get my hands on it, I'll buy it. Nice to see Jack Palance, Neville Brand, Martin Landau, Ralph Meeker and Cameron Mitchell - all of them favourite actors of mine. Kevin Peter Hall - 2.20 meters, no less - as the Alien. And, oh yes ... watch out for a very young David Caruso !
