Sometimes devising a theme goes like this. I definitely want to watch Xtro. Xtro's amazing. What's Xtro about again? The first sentence of this plot description mentions alien abductions. That's part of a lot of movies. Let's see. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is too good (and long). Mysterious Skin is not fun. I'm saving Slaughterhouse-Five for a different thing. We already saw The Last Starfighter. Marissa is scared of Flight of the Navigator. This Island Earth... eh, possible third movie. So that just leaves Starship Invasions.
Not that I'm settling. Starship Invasions is directed by Ed Hunt. We once dedicated a whole night to him. What's more, he has the qualifications to make a great alien abduction movie. He directed the documentary Flying Saucers Are Real! which has faith in UFO phenomena and is prepared to shout that at you.
And another thing, Christopher Lee and Robert Vaughn are in this movie. An Ed Hunt movie would never again have a star higher than Julie Brown.
October of 1977 maybe wasn't the best time to release a low budget sci-fi movie. People were on their third helping of Star Wars. Little did they know that had they gone to Starship Invasions they would have seen future Star Wars actor Christopher Lee.
They should have put that on the poster.
Wait, the French version is called Invasion of the Violent Soup Cans? Weird.
Xtro stars Bond girl Maryam d'Abo.
She played Kara Milovy. Oh I get it. Caramel Ova. That's a sex thing, right?
Here's what happened last week:
