    So what was with the snow falling on the spinning lady on the table shot?


    And seriously, what perspective were they shooting the woman from? She looked like a Chucky doll silhouette.

    This and Galaxy Of Terror is a double bill. Of. GENIUS.


    And yes, Klebert, I'll toss Xtro in there as well for a triple bill.

    I'll stand by my belief that Future Kill ([www.imdb.com]) is the worst film ever released theatrically...

    and it has (by a huge margin) the worst poster quality : movie quality ratio of all time

    @goldfarb:
    Future Kill isn't even close to making the IMDB Top 100 Worse Films list, with a rating in the "3" range. Personally, I have to go with Manos: The Hands of Fate (the HIMYM people agree with me, and the MST3K people couldn't even salvage it by making fun of it).


    @capnrob:
    Gah. I read that novel in high school, and when I went to college we actually found one of the various Nightfall movies (yes, there was more than one) in the rental section at a local grocery/department store. One of my other college buddies was familiar with the story, and on our combined recomendation the group of us picked that title up to rent. I don't remember a lot about it other than the fact that they reduced the number of suns to three, they had some weird low-tech cult, and they would strap people down to some sort of sacrificial table and let birds eat their eyes out.


    It was such a sad moment in my life. The novel is amazing and really deserves to have a solid movie based on it, but it sounds like each successive attempt gets even worse and more low-budget than the last. Heck, one such attempt was even filmed in either Turkey or India.

    @goldfarb: I rented Future Kill on the strength of the box art alone, and after that modified my rental habits. As this was before the internet, I ended up having to ask the rental store people if they had seen it. I found out later that the rental guy was going to tell me not to rent Future Kill, but his manager was there, and he didn't want to get in trouble.

    Boy you must have had to dive deep for the pic for this post. I'm scrolling through all the galleries and file lists for this and its like the most amazing compendium of drawings done by 12 year old boys when no one is looking.

    I have a question, did she really die?


    From the video, it just seemed as if the maggot ate her clothes, had sex with her, and she fell asleep.


    Because clearly the maggot wasn't eating her, you know.. it was just eating her clothes. =P

    Add me to the list of trauma victims who saw this one at a tender age (but not at 4--Jesus, where were your parents?!) and wondered for years what was that weird sci-fi where the giant maggot raped that woman. I'm pretty jaded about horror and weird shit in movies, but that scene still creeps me out. Live-action tentacle porn? Count me out.

    @bookfoldbrewcineaste: Your exposure to this at a young age has unfortunately closed your mind to a world of possibilities...


    And don't bother, I long ago made peace with the fact that I am going to hell.

    Just goes to show you, even the worst movie might have some tiny redeeming element. In this case, it's the shoulder-mounted backpack spotlights. Totally cool.
