Okay, this is spawned by a conversation we've been having in the Classic Horror forum (yes, people DO post there!), in a thread Roshiq started about Frankenstein.

I mentioned an indie film I saw a few years ago that dealth with the Frankenstein motif. A few have mentioned they would like to track this film down, but I cannot remember the title. I'll attempt to describe what I can remember about the film, but I'm going to sound as clueless as the newbies who logon here with little info to go on.

I saw this between 2-4 years ago on cable. From my recollection it was recent- 1990- present day, but it may be older. I can't remember if I saw it on Fearnet, some other on demand offering, or even on the IFC. It was super low-budget. The entire cast consisted of 4-5 actors.

The plot involved a young doctor who lived in the countryside somewhere with his wife. It may have been Ireland, Canada or somewhere in Europe. Unbeknownst to his wife the doctor is experienting on dead sheep in the barn, attempting to bring them back to life. Eventually, something happens to the family dog and the doctor brings it back to life, which horrifies the wife.

There's a lot of talking in this film, it's slow, and there's some low-budget acting, but I enjoyed this film for its interesting take on the Frankenstein motif, and its DIY production. I've checked around on IMDB. IFC and can't find a clue what the name of this film is.

If anyone has seen this film, or might have a clue what it might be, the help would be appreciated.

Not all that rare- Amazon has 32 copies in stock- the cheapest going for one penny.

Question The name of this movie?

This is probably more of an scifi-flick than a horror movie, but you might know which it is anyway.

Its from the 90s. About some green aliens who try to invade the earth. The aliens wear human skin outside them selfs, and they bend theirs knees the wrong way. And they can jump really high.

I remember one scene where an alien disguised as a man got into a house and placed a little thing in the house that swallowed everything inside (like a little black hole).

There is one guy who finds out about the aliens in human skin, and he follows one of them and gets inside the alien 'base' where he is exposed and chased around.

Thats about what i remember...

Could be "The Arrival", starring Charlie Sheen.

No worries man - I'm hust pumped that I'm not the only one hat's heard of it, haha.

And like NE said: it's really not that hard to find as long as your not adverse to shopping online. And it's well worth tracking down if you're still into zero-budget, tripped out horror. Love it.

Question Seeking Movie Title

Hello everyone, I am seeking the title of a movie i seen in the late 70's or early 80's. It is abou a comic book artist who draws in his room. When he creates a monster in the comic book it comes to life in animated form (i think) and proceeds to kill every young person in the house and basement. any help appreciated. by the way they are all young hot babes i think. lol:(

Maybe? I'm pretty sure I caught this one a few years back, fairly interesting from what I recall.
