May 14, 2000Earth Under Alien Rule/L. Ron Hubbard Adaptation
The adaptation of the alien invasion novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard starring John Travolta is a completely ridiculous film that was laughed off screens and is regarded as a classic bad movie

Nov 16, 2015Christian Film/Ambiguous Miracle-Healing Stranger
The novelty of the first Christian horror film. As opposed to much of the message-heavy tripe that usually gets peddled in this niche market, this is actually well structured with a number of interesting ambiguities and engaging as a story for the better part

Aug 3, 2017Alternate World Criminal
Variant on the alternate world hopping theme where a bounty hunter finds the person he is pursuing is an alternate world criminal. The film's budget is way too low to do any justice to either the theme or the setting after the collapse of civilisation
