Movie #41: Slavegirls From Beyond Infinity


Welcome to Sci-Fi 100! 
100 Sci-Fi movies in 100 days!
"Slavegirls From Beyond Infinity (1987)" is a sleazy, cheesy sci-fi retelling of the classic "The Most Dangerous Game."
It is written and directed by Ken Dixon and stars Elizabeth Kaitan, Cindy Beal and Don Scribner. The story is about two ditzy blondes in bikinis who break out of a space prison and steal a spaceship only to crash land on a nearby planet where they are rescued by a host who at first seems very generous, but then it is discovered that he has a sinister game he likes to play where he turns his guests loose on the jungle planet and hunts them with a crossbow.

         I didn't include the trailer because it contains nudity.




Well, this time he picked the wrong bikini clad vixens to play his dangerous game!
Beautiful girls, robots, aliens, lasers, spaceships, and lots of cheese makes this an enjoyable flick. Well, for the guys anyway.

Bad acting, a horrible script, and cheesy costumes and effects adds to the watchability of this velveeta production. Another great film to watch at 2AM when you're so tired that you laugh at anything.

Movie #40: Creepozoids


Welcome to Sci-Fi 100! 
100 Sci-Fi movies in 100 days!
"Creepozoids (1987)" is a super duper low-budget turd written & directed by David DeCoteau. It stars Linnea Quigley, Ken Abraham, and Michael Aranda. A quote I read online from one viewer stated "possibly the worst movie ever made." Well, I've seen plenty worse than this one. But this is pretty awful. But I'm the kind of guy who likes these uber cheesy low-budget dung piles of movies.
This movie is supposed to take place in the future (1998) where War War III had been over for 6 years and the nukes have reduced the world to rubble and a few bands of wandering survivors are all that's left on planet Earth. Well, one of these groups stumble upon an abandoned government research lab. They set up camp inside. Just as they start to feel safe for once, they are attacked by a leftover "experiment" from the lab. This film is a rip-off of the movie Alien. 


                 Click on the box above to view the trailer.



The rubbery creature costume resembles the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise. It's hiding in the giant lab facility that has lots of rooms and a basement. One twist is that when the creature kills you... you come back as a zombie. Oh, and there are giant rats in the facility that a few people have to battle. 
The no-budget effects reduce the actors to wrestling with a stuffed animal. Seriously. It's that bad. There's even a mutant baby that comes out of a creature's stomach and attacks people. 

Looks like the used a plastic baby doll and had the actors wrestle with it too.

Creepozoids is no-budget '80s horror filmmaking at it's worst (or best if you're a fan of like me.) Watch it if you dare!

Movie #39: Seed People



Welcome to Sci-Fi 100! 
100 Sci-Fi movies in 100 days!
"Seedpeople (1992)" is a super low-budget rip-off of the movie "Body Snatchers." It was written by Charles Band, owner of the low-budget movie cheese factory Full Moon Entertainment. He's the guy behind the Puppet Master franchise, Trancers, and Demonic Toys.
Anyhoo, it was directed by Peter Manooglan and stars Sam Hennings, Andrea Roth and Dane Witherspoon.




The plot: 
The citizens of Comet Valley are being taken over by seeds from an alien plant that has taken root there. A sheriff investigates the strange goings-on.


Click the box below to view the trailer.




A guy who studies meteors returns to Comet Valley and teams up with his ex-girlfriend to take down the town people who are no longer human. They are now crazy pod people aliens.



Why is this guy wearing a light bulb on his head? Well, pod people are allergic to ultraviolet light! This keeps them from controlling his mind and getting close to him.

The special effects on this film look like a group of 5th graders were in charge of it. The creatures were made of rubber and were sooooo fake looking. When they would chase you they would transform into tumbleweed looking balls and roll after you... sort of like on the movie Critters. This movie is over the top cheesy! It has bad effects, bad acting and a bad story. It's great to watch late on a saturday night while you're finishing off that leftover pizza. Check it out and let me know what you think.
