Jun 19, 2001Alien Duplication and Takeover
The finest film to come out of 1950s SF cinema, concerning an invasion of pods that replicate people but for their emotions. The sense of paranoia and psychological tension is unsurpassed

Rating: ★★★½
Aug 13, 20091950s SF Parody/Invading Alien Foreheads
From Larry Blamire, a deliberately ridiculous spoof of the 1950s alien invasion film. Blamire's dialogue and the deadpan with which everybody plays is frequently hilarious

Jul 29, 2021Gonzo Exploitation Movie Homage
A beautifully shot b/w homage to exploitation films that feels like a 1950s rock‘n’roll musical injected with a host of gonzo elements including aliens, UFOs and the resurrected dead
