I'm not quite sure how I happened across this film, but the second I laid eyes on the poster, it was love. The campy B-movie aesthetic won my heart and even caused me to gloss over its "lost masterpiece" proclamations. You know what? I don't care if this movie has to employee some unearthed gimmick. I give it kudos for paying homage to the schlocky 'things in outer space' genre.This is a tough thing to pull off. It's nearly impossible to resurrect or even channel dead genres (that means you slasher). And that's why it is so tricky to delve into something as dated (in a good way) as a 50's style alien flick. I don't know what to expect from this film. At it's best it could turn out to be a fun romp; a glowing homage. At it's worst? Jeez, I suppose it could be as stale and bland as an old bag of rice cakes.
Take a look at the site. Looks like it's getting a limited release April 3rd, so keep your peepers peeled!
