Oh dear
A very dry, dead pan black comedy indie film. I thought it was going to be a thriller. Despite the cast this falls very flat. It's very predictable and not funny. The dialogue came across as if everyone was pretending to be a robot for some reason? One to skip.

Not as much choice as US version (0 more)
Great streaming service and original content. One of the new homes for indie film. It is exciting to see films that would never get a theatrical release get more exposure. Any real complaint is that the UK version doesn't offer access to enough movies and old tv shows. But still well worth the price.

It sounded like it had potential but this is a very low budget indie Horror offering that doesn't amount to much. Despite Denise Richards and Mischa Barton starring in this even they can't raise it to an average level. With a similar idea to Christine mainly but only the final 20 minutes were OK. One to avoid unless you like low budget stuff.

To me this is a hidden gem. I seen many reviews on other sites say that this is awful. I suggest going in to this movie with an open mind. Not with the mind set of a big studio movie but an indie film which i seen many of. I am really surprised this is not a ult classic film.

"It’s definitely up there because of the cinematography, the cultural references, the graffiti, and the art. It’s that kind of high-standard indie film and the French make such beautiful films anyway. They seem to be in a league of their own. All the references to the riots and the times and what was going on, that’s particularly why I love that film."

"Switching from that to a small indie movie, a Lynne Ramsay movie called Ratcatcher — I just think it’s a masterful piece of filmmaking. I mean, there’s Taxi Driver, there’s Raging Bull… there’s even — I love King of Comedy. Then there’s Kubrick; the list goes on and on. So there’s many, many, many — but off the top of my head, that would be five."

"No one’s been more encouraging of Screen Slate than Richard Hell, who saved its hide more than he realizes and promoted it with a missionary zeal. The first time we spoke we met at the late Café Orlin, the site of one of his most memorable scenes in the film, and then one of the last vestiges of the city that Smithereens portrays. I could have died. Smithereens was the first American indie to compete for the Palme d’Or, and it presages that whole wave we popularly associate with Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, and so on. I know life isn’t a competition, but this is the best of those debuts. And when you consider Susan Seidelman alongside Allison Anders, Sara Driver, Penelope Spheeris, Lizzie Borden, Kathleen Collins, and Joel DeMott, among so many others, women really slayed in the American indie ’80s."

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Alien Domicile (2017) in Movies

Alien Domicile is a low budget movie ($85,000) that can only be described as a cheaper made version of the Alien franchise. Five government contractors wake up to find themselves confined underground at the infamous Area 51. They are forced to confront a sinister government experiment and a horrifying Alien host.

The cinematography in Alien Domicile isn’t all that bad, there are some really nice moments when the lighting etc builds the tension of the scenes as does the camera angles, which all bring this little indie movie to life, the acting in the movie is nothing to scream about, it’s very much low-budget indie movie style, but again this is something that adds to the appeal of the movie and the style that the director has shot the movie and the production of the overall movie.

A crazy classic
I adore this album. Ok it sounds like I got the cast if Looney Tunes to create an indie band but if you can get past the wackiness then actually there are some very beautiful songs here and so it can be listed as one of the most underrated albums of all time.

Exceptional album
As Friends Rust were already good, then this came out and they became legends. They seemingly took fast old school hardcore punk with pop sensabilities in a Day Nasty style but only sounding like As Friends Rust.

Damien's gravel voice goes from growl to crooned while the music rages on. This is hardcore meeting indie without ever being post hardcore. It's just perfect
