Iceman (1984)
Apr 27, 2003Revived Caveman
Excellent and underrated film about a caveman unthawed in the Arctic where attempts are made to help him adjust. This conducts the a creaky old story with modern scientific and anthropological realism
Lindsay Crouse
Communion (1989)
May 15, 2001Alien Abduction/"True Story"
Film adaptation of writer Whitley Strieber's true-life claims to have been abducted by aliens. I am not sure if the film convinces us of Strieber's claims but what is interesting is the thoughtful way it examines the phenomenon
The Indian in the Cupboard (1995)
Aug 25, 2002Toy Indian Comes to Life
Quite delightful film from Frank Oz in which a boy receives the gift of a magic cabinet that brings his toy Indian and others to life
Progeny (1998)
Oct 25, 2018Alien Abduction and Impregnation
Horror director Brian Yuzna jumps aboard the alien abduction and impregnation theme that was popular at the time thanks to tv’s The X Files. All of Yuzna’s films have a fascination with sexual perversity so here the emphasis is placed on the impregnation
Total Stranger (1999)
Feb 25, 2006Psycho Tenant
Reasonable psycho-thriller where landlord Lindsay Crouse takes on increasingly deranged tenant Zoe McClellan
Mr. Brooks (2007)
Dec 31, 2007Serial Killer
Overlooked effort where Kevin Costner, in a surprisingly dark and undeniably effective turn, plays an everyday man who has a dark side as a serial killer. A very impressively outing on all levels
