INVASION OF THE STAR CREATURES – Temple of Bad

May 11, 2015

(http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/wp-content/uploads/Invasion_of_the_Star_Creatures_22644_4_350.jpg)The good often travels along with the bad. The good in this case: Yours truly has made the move to the lovely city of Philadelphia, a process that led to the extended delay of this episode. The bad: the film we’re discussing, of course. The SF-comedy INVASION OF THE STAR CREATURES tries to mimic the slapped-together-fast-n-cheap success of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS— with HORRORS star Jonathan Haze stepping into the role of screenwriter — but pretty much blows everything it attempts, most prominently any attempt at humor (unless you think grievously stereotyped Native Americans and a subterranean rewrite of an old SCOOBY-DOO chase gag repeated ad nauseum is downright high-larious).

Come join Andrea Lipinski, Kevin Lauderdale, Orenthal V. Hawkins, and myself, Dan Persons, as we explore why, if the alien invasion does come, we're hoping it’s the face-huggers that get to us first.

NEXT EPISODE: We go into space to endure the terrors, and the bad acting, of JOURNEY TO THE SEVENTH PLANET.
