Claiming to be the “highest rated (more ambiguity, please) sci-fi pictures original of all-time!”, Alien Apocalypse is an enjoyable and surprisingly expansive low-budget creature feature. It has strong influences from Planet of the Apes, having a nearly identical plot setup, and also some of the stronger themes found in Bruce Campbell’s most commercially successful film, Army of Darkness. Competently directed by Josh Becker, who has gained some acclaim for his no-nonsense filmmaking, it comes very close to rising out of it’s b-movie status, were it not for the cartoonily (so I just made it up… so what?) obvious voice-over work and periodic cheese-ball acting from the Bulgarian locals. Also, Sci-Fi pictures Continue »

Wow, was this a nice surprise. Imagine if Ultraviolet and BloodRayne would have actually developed some characters, given us some innovative scenarios, and didn’t take themselves so damn seriously and that’s exactly what you will get with the French film Bloody Mallory.
Olivia Bonamy (quite possibly the most beautiful woman in the history of the world) plays Bloody Mallory: a gun-toting, cigar-smoking, ass-kicking, Continue »

Welcome to Burquitlam and meet the pillar of society, local butcher, and all-around swell guy; Bob Sanderson. He will be our host as we take a slice of this small town and examine it over the course of a few short days. We get to know this town very quickly as we attend a town meeting where our lead, Bob, presents his ideas for a new universal language that will help simplify our lives and create unity throughout the world. Although filmed and set in the 80s, it’s clear that this movie’s era is the 1950s. Technological optimism, and an overly hopeful outlook on the future are a few of the running themes. The school children are even Continue »

I guess if someone produces hundreds and hundreds of movies it isn’t fair to assume that every single one is going to be great, or even decent. There’s bound to be a total flop in the mix at some point, and that my friend is the story of The Terror Within.
A plague has swept over mankind. A team of military scientists with modified brown thrift-store overalls (complete with id tags that list first, not last names) reside in an underground bunker. Apparently since they’re out in the middle of the Mojave desert where nobody would be anyway we’re supposed to get the feeling that they are some of the last remaining people on earth. On the surface are some vicious gargoyles…or uh…they’re actually mutated humans…No wait, they Continue »

Boy am I a sucker for a good guy-in-a-suit monster flick. Especially when the guy-in-a-suit monster flick has sweet gore, a haunting soundtrack, a good sense of humor and a healthy dose of full-frontal nudity!
In a rural, fishing based town something is lurking in the very waters the population relies on. A large cannery corporation that is about to build a factory in town has released a chemical in the water. The chemical is devised to Continue »

You always know that you’re in for a real treat when the first line of a film is flubbed. This is my review of the least Like Nothing I’ve Ever Seen Before film I’ve ever seen. Then again, if by “Like Nothing You’ve Ever Seen Before” they meant; “Most Like Godzilla We Could Get Away With”, then it was very much Like Nothin…. oh, you get the point.
Here we go, Gorgo (aka The Story of King-Kong as played by Godzilla). Start in with a couple of salvage dealers, Sam and Joe, on board their ship. They encounter inexplicable volcanic activity. The ship is damaged in the high waves, but luckily there is an island nearby. Our two sort-of more main characters head out to find some fresh water Continue »
