Shock Waves (1977)

Creepshow (1982)
Jul 6, 2000Horror Anthology
Stephen King and George Romero collaborate on a horror anthology made as homage to the EC Comics, telling five tales that replicate the blacker-than-black sense of humour (and even the visual look) of the comic-book with hilarious results
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie (1990)

Dinosaur (2000)

Follow-up to the 2000 tv mini-series adaptation of Dune, this adapts Frank Herbert's two books sequels, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. The production lacks the depth of its predecessor

Disaster TV mini-series about the end of the world due to the sun about to go supernova. Cliche plotting, canned action scenes and bad science ensue
Book of Blood (2009)

Apr 20, 2024Desert World/Intergalactic Politics/Precognitive Messiah
The second part of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic SF novel Dune, this delves more deeply into the world of the Fremen, although starts to diverge more from the book
