The BARGAIN BASEMENT ALIEN THREAD!
 

I only discovered the Critters films a year or two back, when the £4.99 box set was released. Really enjoyed all of them.

Its always good to discover films for the first time.

I used to own a pre-cert VHS of Night Beast. I believe the tag line on the case was something like "His hands tear through flesh and bone".

Was most disappointed whilst watching the film that he actually despatched most people with a laser gun! :lol:

....Which was on the VIPCO label if I remember right!

Yeah,Vipco tagline and Troma film = Definitely not what it says on the tin!

Nightbeast was okay,but THE BEING is a far nastier alien.:nod:

I used to love the absurd Inseminoid. FIrstly, what an amazing title! Then there's the obvious soundstage sets the embarrassed actors gritting their teeth and thinking of the pay cheque, the C&A costumes and the "erratic" lighting.

But also, there is a genuine sense of tension at times and a transparent monster's cock!

Glorious.


I had a very worn VHS on the Brent Walker label that I managed to watch two or three times before it died completely!

And now I want to see it again!

Don't forget 'Titan Find' tho you'll wish they hadn't:lol:.Lotta fun in a gory Alien clone kinda way.

I love The Deadly Spawn, Synapse produced a great dvd of it a couple of years ago. Not really sure it is an Alien rip off though. Not that it matters , its nice to give this piece of low budget exploitation a mention in any thread.

A brilliant bit of gory fun.:)

Ha ha, that looks ace. :lol:

I've never seen it myself & seeing as I'm not really buying DVD's no more (gone on a total Blu-Ray trip) I'd probably not purchase it. But if Synapse released a decent HD version....... :eyebrows:

It will never get a Bd release, the film makers had no ££££ whatsoever, the source material just isn't suitable to HD.

Shame :(

It's well worth betting a DVD of it anyway! It's a great film. Are you going to miss out on a great film just because there's no Blu-Ray? It's not like you can't play DVDs on a BD player!

The dvd has extras galore though - 2 commentaries, a comic style prequel with new musical score, trailers, alternete opening with new sfx, outtakes, biographies and a massive stills gallery covering make up, behind the scenes and its NYC premiere.

I've only seen the wretched Vipco DVD of THE DEADLY SPAWN.

Me too, sadly. Been meaning to get the Synapse version for ages.

Surprised you could see any of it then, it is a bad print.

Take your pick mate......

:eek::eek:

You need to get the Synapse version mate,it's incredible the difference from the Shitco print.

THE DEADLY SPAWN is the perfect example of how to take a zero budget and make it a cult classic.

I own the X RATED Hardbox,which I'm hoping uses the same source as the Synapse disc.

The Deadly Spawn has brilliant cover art, love the one eyed skull.

Very true Goj. I've got me eye on a Synapse version at the moment. :tongue1:

That one eyed skull appeared originally on the VHS Vipco cover art for Lenzi's EATEN ALIVE!

Anyway,what do you reckon is the best Corman 'Alien cash in' ?

My favourite Corman alien flick is Forbidden World, closely followed by Galaxy of Terror.I've also got the Synapse version of The Deadly Spawn and I can safely say it's a quality disc stuffed with extras, don't waste your time hanging about for a BD release.Anyone else remember The Dark? it was about an alien who kills people by shooting laser beams out of it's eyes, it starred William Devane and Richard Jaeckel.Is it available on DVD? I'd love to see The Warning (aka Without Warning) get a DVD release, it's been ages since I saw it last.It had a great cast including Jack Palance and Martin Landau, and a cool looking alien, played by none other than the original "Predator" himself, Kevin Peter Hall.

I prefer Galaxy Vamp.....THE WARNING has a German hardbox release courtesey of X RATED and the quality is pretty good as well.:nod:
Another alien B movie I love!



Alien Shock | X-Rated| Monster Collection| Hartbox

Hmm, wonder if anyone connected with the BBC has seen Alien Shock?

Maybe we'll never know - Silence will fall!

WITHOUT WARNING is great fun although, like THE DEADLY SPAWN, I've only seen it via the old Vipco release which was sooooooooooooooooo dark.

spawn
 

love deadly spawn, watching the titan find as i write this. vipco must have tarnished a lot movie memories with their dodgy releases

grrreat thread buddy!

THE WARNING is getting a dvd release by A.W.E, not sure if it's out now or very close to being released, the covers not one of a.w.e's best ones tho:rockon:

Unfortunately, it's been delayed due to them being supplied poor elements. :(

From their site (via Google translate):

Pity that.The film deserves a wider audience.:nod:

The German release ain't bad though.

It really does!:nod:

Is the german release widescreen or fullscreen?

I have never seen it and I am intrigued.

Agreed, it's a cracker and i can't imagine another release of TDS topping Synapse's excellent effort.:)

Widescreen as far as I remember mate.:nod:


What does everyone make of ALIEN 2?

breeders
 

just watched an awfully good film called breeders i was hoping for a rock documentary on the deal sisters;) but instead greeted by a film that may as well have been called rapists from space :eek:

Thank you for this, it reminded me to order it!

Crap, but the blu-ray is absolutely stunning.:nod:

You are talking about ALIEN 2 aka ALIEN TERROR, right?

Just ordered this as well!

:lol:
