TRIBULATION 99
The ultimate conspiracy movie, a mind-roasting collage of found footage documenting CIA intervention in South America during the 1980s, presented as a nutty account of an alien invasion
THEY LIVE
Despite its flaws—and it does contain some fairly grievous ones—John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE is a witty, perceptive and impossible-to-forget concoction
1000 AIRPLANES ON THE ROOF at 25
A multi-media stage drama that’s been described as “part Freud, part Kafka and part Steven Spielberg,”
DEADLY SPAWN
A 3 A.M. movie for sure, but definitely an above average specimen, this is a no-budget monster mash from the early eighties that mixes gore and laughs in the manner of BASKET CASE and THE EVIL DEAD
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS
When dealing with a five decade multi-film phenomenon, it pays to go back to where it all started
INVADERS FROM MARS
A Tobe Hooper film from the mid eighties, when he was trying to mount a worthy successor to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
THE HIDDEN
Irresistible horror/sci fi from 1987 that combines two eighties movie mainstays: alien invasion and police action
