Strange as hell to see a film of that age using that style of filming. Will try and check it out. It’s on YouTube split into multiple videos if you want to watch it. I don’t think it was ever released for purchase.
Sméagol Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Happenstance said: Youve probably never seen it (not many have as it was just a TV movie) but have you heard of Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape (or “Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County” depending on the country)? It’s based on the same alien story Spielberg based the kids abduction in Close Encounters on and Signs is based on. It’s surprisingly creepy given its low budget. It was one of the first “found footage” movies and there were rumours for years that it was real. One that @Goafer and I always enjoy. Never heard of it, but looks like fun.
Goafer Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 It's one of those films that doesn't seem like it should be good, but the same tricks that keep the budget down also do a hell of a good job of building tension and fear. For example, you don't really get to see the aliens all that much, but the camera goes a bit garbled when they're near. The tension comes from the fact that you know there's an alien nearby, but the characters don't and you're just waiting for something to happen. It's very effective. Definitely one of those films that does a hell of a lot with very little. Think The Blair Witch (except better), but with aliens and you're pretty much there. 1

At that price I hope it is a somewhat exotic material or has a unique hand-crafted shape. Maybe it's a smart bin? Otherwise, I think you've been had Pics please!

Will Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 My sister just got one of those. For a bin connoisseur I’m sure it’s great, you’d be the envy of all your friends! We just have a plastic bag on a hook - not cool at all. 1 2

But whatever We're going over Halloween! We both prefer the cold and we last went during June, so it'll be nice to cozy up a bit and chill! 1

drahkon Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 A friend found copies of this for 10 bucks. It's apparently not a great game but I'm sure a few friends and I will have some co-op fun regardless 1
soag Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 This stunning vinyl boxset of all fall out boys studio albums,R.R.P is around £200 but I got it for £59.99 in the HMV sale that works out at about £9 per album which is sucha bargain :).
