Alien Predators is the title on the Blu-ray, the movie says the title is The Falling, the IMDb says that the title is Alien Predator. It's also known as Mutant in the UK and in Spain & Mexico it was known as Cosmos Mortal. The movie came out in 1986 and Deran Sarafian is the director, he also co-wrote the thing with Noah Bloch. Deran turned out to be so piss poor at his job, the rest of the film makers weren't much better, and the film went over schedule and over budget. The cost was passed onto Producer Carlos Aured and he quit the movie business. In the early 70s he worked on several films with Paul Naschy. Alien Predators was so well received that it's Opening Weekend Gross was $2,554. That's total, not per screen. Amazingly Deran made 7 more movies over the next 8 years, none I think I've seen, before he switched to TV work. I'd seen a bit of that.
From the IMDb Trivia Page: Early on Michael does a Rod Serling impression of the Twilight Zone style monologues. Later a talking doll declares itself to be Talky Tina, which is a nod to a famous episode of Twilight Zone, Living Doll, which director Deran Sarafian's father, Richard C. Sarafian directed.
Dennis Christopher, Martin Hewitt and Lynn-Holly Johnson are a trio of annoying 20 somethings traveling through Spain in a mobile home. They stop beside a small town only to find that alien organisms are killing the locals. There's a bit of bullshit on why that's going on. The trio get caught up in this, a scientist from NASA has an antidote and he needs their help. The poor acting and script make the movie a bit tedious. The makeup effects are a bit better but not much more than average. The movie scores a 3.3 on the IMDb and I gave it a 3.
Krampus Origins is a 2018 horror movie set during the First World War. The Germans are summoning a demon when the American soldiers arrive. One of the soldiers steals the spell book. They don't seem to post guards around their outpost and the German's come in and shoot them. The book remains with the man's affects and winds up in the hands of his wife. She's just taken a teaching job at an orphanage in the Arizona Territories. Someone looked it up, Arizona was a state by then. It's the little details that often fuck a movie up it's own ass. It did give us something to talk about while the movie was boring along. The book falls into the wrong hands and the demon is called. It's sadly nothing as good as the Krampus on the DVD case. The movie is kind of dull and the music and sound are annoying. I gave it a 1, it might be more a 2 but I'm sticking to my vote. Like the first movie tonight, I'm not going to buy this one. So far most of the Krampus movies have been crap. Only the 2015 Krampus has been entertaining so far.
