Jun 30, 2001H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation/Occult Rituals
Adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story in which Sandra Dee is lured by a young Dean Stockwell in order to summon Elder Gods. This seems like it has potential but befalls plodding, nondescript direction
Human Highway (1982)
Aug 21, 2015Gonzo Comedy
Musician Neil Young directs a science-fiction film! I was hoping this would be another Repo Man, instead we get an incoherent mess that throws in a jumble of sf concepts and feels like it was made without a script

A sprawling international political thriller/satire about stolen nuclear weapons starring Sean Connery as a journalist
Dune (1984)
Feb 1, 2001Desert World/Intergalactic Politics/Precognitive Messiah
David Lynch disowned his film version of the classic Frank Herbert SF novel. However, Lynch may be incapable of making a bad film and this, while acting freely with the book, has a visual grandeur that makes it highly watchable
Blue Velvet (1986)

They Nest (2000)

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan (2009)

The Dunwich Horror (2009)
Aug 20, 2012H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation
