UNSEEN FOR 50 YEARS! Well, actually it's a recently-produced flick in the vein of
Lost Skeleton of Cadevra.
It's both a tribute to
and spoof of 1950s horror films.
LOST MASTERPIECE!That remains to be seen, and hopefully I'll see it when it opens this weekend...
The poster and lobbycard graphics look appropriately retro.
The trailer is entertaining.
The casting seems good. Robert Patrick, Dan Lauria, and Erik McCormack all have genre cachet.
This is the sort of pic I personally look forward to for the sheer fanboy joy of it.
(Half the fun is spotting influences and references to earlier films.)
The NY Times Online has an
overview of the movie along with trailers from 50s sf flix.
And, ('cause you just
knew we were gonna tie this in to our own stuff) if you're into 1950s sci-fi flix, have a look at
Atomic Kommie Comics™ nifty
Martians, Martians, Martians™ and
Horror--or Horrible?™ pop culture kitch collections!
Yep, T-shirts, mugs, messenger bags, and other kool kollectibles featuring exciting movie poster art from such alien invasion classics as
Devil Girl from Mars,
They Came from Beyond Space,
Astro Zombies,
Green Slime,
I Married a Monster from Outer Space,
War of the Worlds, even
Plan Nine from Outer Space, are only a mouse-click away!
Who in the 1950s thought
that would've been possible? ;-)
