Harbinger Down (AKA: Inanimate)
I appreciate the intention here. Old-school creature features with a reliance on practical effects are few and far between these days, so it was great to see this achieve its Kickstarter goals... but this an unprecedented disaster.
Almost every single shot is poorly framed and appears cropped, the script is farcical with acting to match, attack sequences are a mess of shakeycam edits, creature designs are totally uninspired, Lance Henriksen can barely hide the suicidal glimmer in his eyes... and it's all so very hilarious.
We should all own a copy of this. Our children need to grow up viewing this as a cautionary tale. And it must be preserved so that alien archaeologists can study it in the distant future and decipher its secrets.
Truly special.
