4k. Theatrical.
It has been a looooong time since I last visited Midian. While the film is Horror the plot is more of a dark fantasy, which is not surprising given those are two genres Barker excels at. Not sure what my rating is right now.
The transfer is great, especially for being from best surviving elements.
Saw this as a double feature with Titane. What a pairing. I can't pass seeing Xtro with a crowd.
Not my first close encounter with one of the strangest alien invasion movies in the galaxy. This is better than I remember and also not as disgusting as I recall. It's definitely gross. The squelching and plopping sound effects resonate so much in my mind palace.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
There is so much to love about this. But it's almost singlehandedly ruined by the never ending need to have callbacks and "cameos". A character could have performed the same task without wearing a CGI face.
Also THAT line is completely out of place.
When Romulus is doing it's own thing it's great. Whenever there's a callback, it misses the mark. If this is what audiences want than I feel even more alienated from "sensibilities".
