 * Keep. Not a lot out there in English but this BBC article does refer to it as a "home-grown hit", and it pops up in enough French-language news sources to justify a finding of notability, if only barely. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:46, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I do remember this film in Greece, and, at its time, it was quite notable.--Yannismarou (talk) 22:56, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Minor cult classic in a similar vein as other "Attack of_add your menacing oversized villain/food item here__" B-movies of the past. We have seen crabs as in Attack of the Crab Monsters, leeches as in Attack of the Giant Leeches etc. It is clearly time for a villain Moussaka. As Arxiloxos mentions, the coverage by BBC and the French sources establishes notability. I also found a citation by The Guardian, of rather impeccable taste, which I will add to the article. Maybe a sequel can be made where the Giant Moussaka meets the Killer Tomatoes in a Godzilla-type showdown and a giant pastitsio is created. Maybe not. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 17:14, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely a cult movie. I don't have time to look right now but I believe several of the criteria are met by large, would it only be by the fact that there are not many Greek-made movies of this genre. At least this is what I have at hand right now: director interview + review (in French) when the movie was showed in a festival called L'Absurde Séance de Paris in 2009.
