Rad movie watch7/23/2023 The home video success is no surprise watching this an adult. However, not unlike Tremors, RAD came out during the VHS craze and benefited as a top rental. Released in 1986, the film barely made a mark at the box office and was critically panned. RAD is one of those movies I never saw or actually even heard of. However, these releases also promote films that we might have missed. Sometimes it’s worth it while others fall flat.
