Critters (1986)
Jul 9, 2003Malicious Alien Creatures

The Island (2005)
Jul 24, 2005Clones on the Run/Action
What should have been a modest conceptual SF story about people coming to discover the true nature of the world they live in is killed by being turned into an loud and over-inflated Michael Bay action vehicle
Dahmer vs Gacy (2011)

Giant fire-breathing spiders invade New Orleans. A passably entertaining film of its type made for the Syfy Channel with effects that are above-average and it taking itself seriously
