Also holy shit that switchblade is enormous and Barry Stokes looks convincing as an alien who doesn’t understand most of what’s happening around him and the party scene is horribly good & seems like a landmark in horror genderqueerness.Despite Insemenoid, Terror, and Bloody New Year all having interesting dynamics and moving parts, I think this is Norman J Warren’s strongest film. From queer masterpieces to camp classics, documentaries to romantic comedies,… Welcomed into their home the couple slowly becomes suspicious of their strange guest. A group of friends take refuge in an island hotel that is decorated for New Years. The distasteful sex scenes, (RIP ears) I also don't like the idea of an abusive relationship between the two women. The alien hides out at a isolated rural home along with the couple that lives there.
The vinegar syndrome blu ray however is crystal clear they have done a perfect job on this hardly an imperfection to be seen.I have all of the time in the world for bizarre items like this which insist on the gaunt logic of genre for a spine, but simply can't help getting caught up in the wanderings of its own estranged concerns. I mean, come on you're with me on this, right?Well, obviously this movie didn't worked for me but I'll give it a star for Anders -his clueless, innocent demeanor is ridiculously funny cross dressing at the dinner party, puking and disgusted when he tries to eat human food, and that swamp scene -like lol wtf dude eating swans…Another one of those slow-simmer psych-outs about an unstable relationship between two women living in a remote, sort of decrepit country mansion, only instead of some horny hitchhiker or escaped criminal disrupting their fragile emotional equilibrium, it's a shapeshifting cat alien with a taste for human flesh. damnit.
The films he made in very little time on very little money are just, well, there are no words. Notable scenes? An unhappy lesbian couple reach peak uncomfortable cheerlessness when enters a dog-faced alien boy. It has the feel of a Merchant-Ivory film adapted by Roger Corman (or maybe a Roger Corman film adapted by Merchant-Ivory?) This…6 countries: Japan, South Korea, Germany, Brazil, Qatar / Jordan, Taiwan…All the films from my exploitation lists, bundled into one mega-super-list-to-rule-them-all!The nuttiest, craziest and most obscene movies to have ever existedA collection of queer characters, representations, and sensibilities on film. I don't hate it or like it to much its just different. Lop off the horror/sf elements & you’re left with something oddly like the late 60s/early 70s theatre of Orton & Pinter. It also feels more like a drama at times since a lot of the focus is on the relationship and turmoil of the couple. Le zombie venu d'ailleurs, Alien Prey It's so good. Still, this one kept my attention and I really enjoyed the third act which makes it better than every A24 movie that would come after.Norman J. Warren is my hero. Jessica awakens when an alien spacecraft lands nearby.
The alien is strictly carnivorous (he really wants to eat the couples' parrot), and eventually learns that he REALLY likes champagne. That mud fight? Basically an animalistic alien with features of a fox (I can’t tell if I find him adorable or terrifying yet) finds…A low budget, dramatic piece more than anything else that doesn't hold up to my expectations on the whole 'sci-fi' theme.
Completely unhinged, shrieking, aimless, absurd manic energy seeps from every pore. Directed by Norman J. Warren. Low-budget aliens (three nice-looking women and a gay computer voice-over) crash-land in England and abduct four earthlings.
