Beyond The Sky 2018 Story by Rebecca Berrih, Fulvio Sestito and Rob Warren Thomas, screenplay by Marc Porterfield, Rob Warren Thomas, directed by first timer Fulvio Sestito. This movie has 30.2% of it's IMDb votes in the number 10 position, number 9 gets a whooping 16.5%, giving it a score of 5.7. I suspect that UFO fans have found the movie that speaks to them.
A somewhat annoying guy is a documentary film maker, as the movie starts he tells us he's investigating UFOs. He's got a backstory, his father claims that his wife was taken by aliens. He wants the truth but doesn't think it's out there. Peter Stormare plays the father in a few flashbacks, Ryan Carnes plays the son, and Jordan Danger plays the abductee that Ryan meets on his journey. Dee Wallace and Don Stark play people in the UFO community.
Weird things happen to Ryan and his cameraman Claude Duhamel, it leaves them shaken but not scared off. After meeting Jordan she tells them that she has been abducted 3 times, at 7, 14, and 21 years of age, In a few days she's 28 years old and she looking for a way to stop the abductions. Ryan's determined to put a stop to it but it's beings with superior tech, so he's pretty much gonna fail.
I watched this off the free movie selection at Amazon Prime and thought it's much better made than the average UFO film. That's a nice change. I thought it was more of a 5 or 6 than a 9 or 10. It does have a better story than a lot of it's genre pals and it kept my interest for the most part. I probably wouldn't need to watch it again but it was OK when it was on.
The Alien Dead 1980 Director Fred Olen Ray co-wrote the screenplay with Martin Nicholas. The big name star Fred brought to the film was Buster Crabbe, it was Buster's second last film, he was 72 and he'd make it for 3 more years.
A meteor falls into the bayou and it turns humans into flesh eating zombies that live under the water. They've eaten all the alligators and now they're looking to the land for a quick snack. Chomp and it's back into the H2O. There's the usual endless jawing with country types, some yelling, a flash or two of boobies, some zombie action and cars driving down country roads ever so slowly.
Takes a lot of scenes to make and 87 minute movie, too bad they weren't better. It's pretty much the usual zombie clone, not something I would need to watch again. Certainly not something to buy unless it's part of a large glut of films in a cheap cheap set. When I wouldn't feel bad about not watching it. I'm kidding, I'd feel good not watching it.
