drumax-759-417828 I understand what they were going for in this movie but it just failed. It wasn't funny...if it had managed to make me even snicker a bit I might be more forgiving but it just seems like trash for the sake of trash. It just didn't work on any level and I understand why nobody wanted to distribute the film. I am sure the actors did exactly what was asked of them but any talent there may have been was stiffled by delibrately awkward dialoge and stilted acting. The movie was a one note running gag that I got immediately and then tired of within the first 10 minutes, after that it was simply a chore to make it to the end of the movie.

qormi This movie succeeded in cracking me up throughout its duration. The characters are what it is all about. Great casting!! Why doesn't Jennifer Blaire have a career? She is so hot and funny. The whole concept of foreheads inching around like slinky toys and stalking people is crazy enough. The lab scientist who was responsible for turning her boyfriend into a "forehead sphinx", the skipper and his mate, who looks like a pathetic version of Kirk Douglas in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"; the crazy librarian, the weird "expert"...most of the laughs are attributed to how dumb these people acted...not an easy feat for an actor. If you see it listed on cable, watch it!

Scott_Mercer The scuttlebutt is that apparently, as of late 2010, the film has gotten distribution and will be released to DVD shortly.The version I saw was the one screened on the Independent Film Channel. According to director Larry Blamire, he stated in a Facebook post that this is NOT his approved cut of the film, so I am curious to see the differences between the two presentations. Any comments I am making here relate to the cut seen on IFC. The only way it could have been seen otherwise was at a film festival, which the film played several of since 2007.I still loved the film, even if Larry had some problems with it.You get his usual company of players, and "play" is the appropriate word here, since they all seem to be having a great time, playing around and coming together to pay tribute to a wide variety of classic cinema tropes.This time, the target is medium budget almost major studio sci-fi extravaganza of the late 1950's or early 1960's. The studio has decided to spring for the indulgence of color film for a sci-fi genre picture, and the art department is told to make the most of that extra investment: costumes, sets and cars are highly colorful, with that saturated technicolor look of films such the Hitchcock productions of the period (like "The Birds," the closest thing Hitchcock ever did to a science fiction film).A little pre-Betty Friedan feminism is thrown in for good measure, as well as the usual themes of that time such as suburban conformity and the Red Scare/Cold War.All the actors are spot on, including Larry himself as two-bit hood Nick Vassidine. He probably started life as Nick Vaseline, because he was so greasy, but Larry had to change it due to trademark concerns. Just speculation there on my part.Also should mention Jennifer Blaire as his moll, Droxy, who has a lot of Moxie. I just hope she doesn't drink it, that stuff is the second worst soda pop ever made.I hate to bring up the cliché, but if you're a fan of Larry's, you've probably already seen it, and if you don't get his thing, then you never will. I'm just wondering how to convert the unconvinced out there, those not already on the Blamire train. Handcuffs and threats? Bribes and tickling? Infomercials? Any suggestions on bringing Larry's art to a wider audience would be welcome.

foosie-2 One of the great joys of Larry Blamire's films is that he uses the same core cast for each of his affectionate pastiches, so you get to see them in a variety of roles. The affection one feels for them upon meeting up again is akin to that felt for long gone movie actors of one's childhood. This film "presented by Ray Harryhausen" has inexplicably failed to find distribution, even to DVD, but eventually showed up near Hallowe'en 2010 on the Independent Film Channel. It uses INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS as its template (indeed, the late Kevin McCarthy makes a brief cameo appearance).This has some nice animation (or CGI?) from the Chiodo Brothers, and a really hysterical theme song, which Blamire's wife manages to sing twice in the film a capella (hats off for that!).This is not as spot on as THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA, but it is certainly wonderful enough to deserve distribution. I particularly like the disguise the aliens use of pillbox hats with veils which completely fails to hide their bulging foreheads.
