Kissed (1996)
Mar 17, 1999Necrophilia
Controversially charged Canadian film in which Molly Parker plays a mortuary assistant who develops an obsession with having sex with corpses. Played with more taste than synopsis would lead you to think

Trucks (1997)
Dec 16, 1999Vehicles Amok/Stephen King Adaptation
Remake of the same Stephen King short story that formed the basis of Maximum Overdrive about trucks turning against humanity ... Why remake a work that was poorly regarded first time around is a good question but this actually emerges as the better version
Talking to Heaven (2002)
Jun 18, 2015True-Life Medium Biopic
A Hallmark tv mini-series based on the life of the supposed true-life medium James Van Praagh
Saint Sinner (2002)
Sep 25, 2019Demonic Succubi
Clive Barker based work about a monk pursuing two demonic succubi through time to the present. Clive Barker watered down for the Sci-Fi Channel but worth watching for the imaginative creature effects
Taken (2002)
Aug 7, 2008UFOs and Alien Abductions
TV mini-series in ten two-hour parts that deals with UFOs, covering several generations from the 1940s to the present. An interesting take on UFO encounters with the benefit of some phenomenal performances

Far Cry (2008)
Mar 9, 2011Videogame Adaptation/Super-Soldiers Amok

Seattle Super Storm (2012)
Jun 25, 2015Disaster Movie
Another formulaic Syfy Channel B-budget disaster film. The film's sole distinction is a more outlandish premise than usual – where the storm appears initially to be caused by a UFO that has been shot down
The Possession (2012)
Aug 31, 2012Occult Box/Possession
Based on the urban legend surrounding a dybbuk box that turned up on an EBay auction, although the film throws this out to conduct an utterly generic possession story. Despite the novelty of drawing on Judaic mythology, the film still trades in the same tired cliches as the Christian exorcism film
Super Buddies (2013)
Jun 3, 2014Talking Dogs with Superpowers
Excrutiatingly unwatchable live-action film in which trained animals have all been dubbed with smartass voices. In the nominal plot, a group of dogs gain superpowers, which becomes dragged out into a series of witless slapstick scenes, all overrun with agonisingly hip and unfunny one-liners
