Angel (1984)

John Diehl
The Dark Side of the Moon (1990)
Sep 11, 1999The Devil in Outer Space
Conceptually ridiculous film where a spaceship crew in lunar orbit come across a space shuttle that disappeared through the Bermuda Triangle and contains a parasitic organism that is The Devil
Mikey (1992)
Mar 3, 2000Psycho Child
Routine psycho-thriller with Brian Bonsall as a child who murders his adopted families when they fail to meet his expectation. An amusing idea plays out with comic-bookish set-ups and a cliched plot
Almost Dead (1994)
Mar 31, 1999Haunting
This a dull ghost story in which Shannen Doherty plays a parapsychological researcher who believes she is seeing the ghost of her mother everywhere
Stargate (1994)
Apr 26, 2001Intergalactic Portal/Planetary Adventure
The first of Roland Emmerich's special effects epics. Emmerich rehashes Erich von Daniken's Ancient Astronauts theories but casts it as a planetary adventure on an epic canvas with surprisingly entertaining results
Three Wishes (1995)
Feb 20, 19991950s Coming of Age Tale/Mysterious Stranger
This is a 1950s Coming of Age story with Patrick Swayze as a mysterious stranger dispensing wisdom, before the film arrives at a very peculiar fantastic ending
Mind Ripper (1995)
Apr 4, 2009Mutant Amok
Produced by Wes Craven and his son, this started as a third Hills Have Eyes film but ends up a generic Alien copy with a mutant monster hunting people in a desert laboratory
Lost Souls (2000)
Oct 13, 2000Demonic Possession
Steven Spielberg's regular cinematographer Janusz Kaminski takes the director's chair and conducts a modest and effective revival of the 1970s occult/Anti-Christ film
Fail Safe (2000)
Apr 17, 2011Nuclear War
Live tv broadcast remake of the 1960s Cold War nightmare about an accidental nuclear release over Russia, now with an all-star cast. This proves far more suspenseful and expertly played than one might have thought
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Jul 20, 2001Genetically-Engineered Dinosaurs Amok
Steven Spielberg handed the directorial reins of the series over to Joe Johnston and this emerges as a better film than The Lost World was, even if it never seems to be anything more than arranged around a series of effects set-pieces
I Pass for Human (2004)
Oct 21, 2007Ghosts of Drug Addicts
A film directed by Chris D, lead singer of The Flesh Eaters, about a heroin addict who starts to see ghosts. A strong portrait of addiction but less effective as a horror film
Drifter: Henry Lee Lucas (2009)
Jun 16, 2011True Life Serial Killer
Film based on real-life serial killer Henry Lee Lucas and his exaggerated claims to have killed hundreds of victims. Starring Antonio Sabato, Jr in the title role
