The Silent Scream (1979)
Apr 18, 1999Slasher/Family Secrets
Halfway reasonable entry in the 1980s slasher cycle that sits with one foot in the Old Dark House genre. This also comes with a great cast of genre veterans.

The Return (1981)
Mar 8, 2011UFO Contact and Cattle Multilations
Influenced by Close Encounters of the Third Kind, this is a strange film about UFOs and cattle mutilations. Explanations are not always clear but the film boasts a great cast
Ewoks and the Marauders of Endor (1986)
Jun 20, 2002Children's Planetary Adventure/Star Wars Spinoff
Follow-up to The Ewok Adventure, a tv movie released to theatres internationally. This is a better film than its predecessor that even captures something of the Star Wars spirit on occasions
The Fly II (1989)

It Came from Outer Space II (1995)
Mar 16, 2011Alien Body Snatchers

Pitch Black (2000)
Feb 19, 2000Planetary Survival
A gripping and particularly well conceived planetary survival story. The film that launched Vin Diesel's career and he has never been better than as the lethal, tight-lipped serial killer Riddick
