Jun 21, 2016Aliens Abduct Models
One of the British sf films that came influenced by the Quatermass series. This has the most ridiculous premise of any alien invasion film – an alien is abducting women from ads for models placed in girlie magazines – but is played with a stone-faced seriousness that defies you to laugh

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Rating: ★★★★½
May 3, 2001Future Thugs/Brainwashing
One of the key films by Stanley Kubrick, centred around ultra-violent thugs in a near-future setting. Everybody was outraged at Kubrick choreographing scenes of violence to classical music but the film has a considerable brilliance and very dark sense of humour

The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (1981)
Rating: ★★★
Jan 30, 2005Gonzo SF
The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was a multi-media phenomenon that has developed a cult. The tv series with a less-than-stellar BBC budget was not the most effective incarnation of these but still hits the wittily absurd nerve of Douglas Adams’ humour

May 25, 2003Soul-Sucking Alien Vampires
Tobe Hooper's space vampires film wildly divides audiences and was a big flop for Cannon Films. You have to applaud its ambitious conceptual grasp even if it bites off far more wild ideas than it is ever capable of coherently presenting

Tales from the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood (1996)

Tales from the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood (1996)
Rating: ★
Dec 16, 2001Vampire Brothel
The second of the films spun off from tv’s Tales from the Crypt. While the first film Demon Knight took itself seriously, this does not and is killed by a campy tone and a miscast Dennis Miller keeping up a running barrage of excruciating one-liners
