Imagine a team of minds plucked from the most innovative or exciting projects of the past. Now imagine said crack(pot) team in a room coming up with amazing ideas for creepy characters and crazy looking beasties that may or may not be in a gang. And finally, make all of these creative types drop acid. This is how I envision a regular meeting at Japan’s Madhouse animation studio where they've collected only the best for their new Hells Angels animation. Plus, more snake ladies that I'm assuming want your sex and then soul - or at least a little blood. More »

This week, we're taking great grasp of the wide spectrum that is scifi comedy. First, there's an excellent new trailer for Turkish comedy, A.R.O.G. (from the minds that brought you G.O.R.A.) where the lovable time traveling carpet salesmen has to help a team of cavemen win a soccer match on a flaming field. Plus, we've got news and stills from a brand new super indie film Blue Lollipop where you see the future of interplanetary desk jobs. On one hand, you can go the campy silly route and, on the other, straight to the space man dick jokes. More »

This week on Cult Sci-Fi we've got big news surrounding one of the most fantastic indie flicks staring Elvis, Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell's deranged fight as an aged Elvis against a mummy that is haunting the halls of his old folks home is by far and away one of the strangest and most enjoyable little monster fights I've seen, and my delight was raised when the rumor that there would be yet another Bubba movie, Bubba Nosferatu, began to circulate. But as the years went by, the vampire 60s/70s Elvis flick was long since forgotten — until Paul Giamatti decided to bring the Elvis tale back from the grave. Plus more trailers and flicks to enjoy.

Crazy cartooned aliens take Alice on a hoverboard ride in the new Russian adaptation of Kir Bulychev's novels, bringing back the scifi love for kids that has been severely lacking for some time. We'll let you meet Alice's furry and multi-limbed friends before they all get injected by an evil alien. Also, take a look at a few stills from 1, the Stanislaw Lem One Human Minute-inspired movie, where a bookstore uncovers a novel that details what happens to all of humanity in one single minute.

This week, we've got stills from a new movie, from the brilliant mind of indie director Craig Baldwin. Mock Up On Mu is cut from actual historical footage of Jack Parsons, L.

Also a squeaky-clean zombie movie is getting a sequel, and there's a new trailer for 20th Century Boys. More »

Welcome to Cult Scifi Worship, our new weekly round-up where I'll be collecting and posting the indie, foreign or just plain unknown scifi films we didn't get a chance to show you earlier in the week. These movies may be small, but each should be worshipped like the golden calves of scifi goodness that they are. This week, I'll be showing you evil alien substitute teachers, trouble in a futuristic space prison, what happens when a paralysis epidemic sweeps Berlin, and a new kind of pink eye that can mutate and kill you. Trailers and stills for each after the jump. More »
