Voyage of the Rock Aliens

Voyage of the Rock Aliens is a brilliantly campy flick that offers a thick concentrate of 1980s pop culture, including its roots in the trash of the preceding decades. Surprisingly, however, the film wasn’t the unintended result of madness, but was rather created entirely deliberately. According to the screenwriter (yes, this film actually had a screenplay), the intention was to make a film that would replicate the effect experienced by a viewer channel surfing late at night. As such, Voyage’s blend of music videos, teen romance, trashy monster flicks, sci-fi B-movies and horror movies about homicidal maniacs suddenly makes sense. (10/05/2015)
