Rating: 8/10 Stars Description: Frederick Loren has invited five strangers to a party of a lifetime. He is offering each of them $10,000 if they can stay the night in a house. Rating: 6 out of 10 stars. A Russian sci-fi film that was redone and dubbed in English. This was made back when the space race first started. Texas has it's own space station! The Dinosaur/Lizard-Men like creatures remind me of a Star Trek episode... and you'll just have to watch the movie to know more. Very well written for it's time. Although they could have gotten the stars thing right. Stars only move in the earths sky and if you are actually ON the space station. Science wasn't the main focus in making this film. Though there are some interesting original concepts in this film, particularly towards the end. EXTRACT: A team of astronauts crashes on the surface of Venus. Accompanied by their robot, they explore the surface and end up destroying the Venusian God. This film is also known as "The Gill Women" and "The Gill Women of Venus".
This film began life as a Soviet-produced work. An American producer then added some new footage and changed the credits to hide the film's Soviet origin. The original film, "Planeta Bur", is also known as "Cosmonauts on Venus", "Planet of Storms", "Planet of Tempests", "Planeta Burg", and "Storm Planet". Much of the film "Planeta Bur" was also incorporated into the "American" film "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet". This film was shown in "Pathe" color, which is essentially just a method of placing color filters over a black and white film. Consequently, the color that you see is not the true color of the sets but instead represents an "interpretation" of a black and white original. You can find more information regarding this film on its IMDb page. More information is also available from the Wikipedia article here. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. Amazing the actors he managed to pull together (makes it easier to overlook the bad actors). Also, the special effects and storyline for his time, based on his budget, are excellent... especially when you consider the possibility that this old movie about the future has some interesting modern correlations (also check out this UFO caught on a BBC camera). Also, it's very well-written compared to some movies made even today. From IMDb: "Can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?" That's the question on the lips of the narrator of this tale about flying saucers, zombies and cardboard tombstones. A pair of aliens, angered by the "stupid minds" of planet Earth, set up shop in a California cemetery. Their plan: to animate an army of the dead to march on the capitals of the world. (The fact that they have only managed to resurrect three zombies to date has not discouraged them.) An intrepid airline pilot living near the cemetery must rescue his wife from this low-budget terror. "Can you prove it *didn't* happen?"
Stars: Tor Johnson, Vampira, Tom Keene, and Gregory Walcott This one gets 1 out of 5 stars. I would have given it another star for color or better acting. Some things are just stupid but the ending looks like it may have been copied by the 'I see dead people' guy. This movie may also be an original precursor to Walking Dead, but the fire thing is new. Also, that first zombie should have just eaten that guy. and so on. Original Movie Synopsis: In this classic yet still creepy horror film, strangers hold up in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse and battle constant attacks from dead locals who have been brought back to life by mysterious radiation: Observation: This is a very well made movie in terms of it's portrayal of the cultural context of the old wild west. Notice how the Southern Strategy is used as a part of daily life to pick on the Indians which eventually led to their Genocide. The chiefs, like Red Hawk (Tribal Chief) portrayed here, knew that rumors and framing were leading to a war and they accepted it as a part of their life. For it's portrayal of the west & its superb acting given it's decade... this movie gets 5 stars ***** Quotes: "When a white army battles Indians and wins, it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre." - Chiksika, Shawnee "What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." - Blackfoot "I was hostile to the white man...We preferred hunting to a life of idleness on our reservations. At times we did not get enough to eat and we were not allowed to hunt. All we wanted was peace and to be let alone. Soldiers came...in the winter..and destroyed our villages. Then Long Hair (Custer) came...They said we massacred him, but he would have done the same to us. Our first impulse was to escape...but we were so hemmed in we had to fight. After that I lived in peace, but the government would not let me alone. I was not allowed to remain quiet. I was tired of fighting...They tried to confine me..and a soldier ran his bayonet into me. I have spoken.” - Crazy Horse – Sioux Chief I do not think the measure of a civilization is how tall its buildings of concrete are, But rather how well its people have learned to relate to their environment and fellow man.
