Grabbers (2012)
Oct 15, 2012Irish Alien Invasion Comedy
The world's first Irish alien invasion film – and a sideplittingly funny one too. Imagine a conceptual crosshatch between Tremors and the characters from Father Ted
Storage 24 (2012)
Sep 10, 2013Alien Monster in a Storage Locker
British effort that proves to be no more than another copy of Alien – set in a warehouse of storage lockers. The film never consists of anything beyond a crashingly ordinary regurgitation of the moves used by an endless number of Alien copies
Scintilla (2014)

Very much informed by Blade Runner, this features Guy Pearce as a futuristic detective on the trail of a missing girl in the android zone
Baghead (2023)
