Gold Hat: "Badges?... We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

Crystal's Shadow (2019)

Basically, it's a budget alien abduction movie.
It's written great, just the money isn't there to make it work.
However, it gets its point across regardless.
I wouldn't watch it a second time.
And in all actuality if you've ever seen The Fourth Kind (2009), that does the exact same thing only better.
I still attest that Sitchin was a lunatic.
However, lunatics are often responsible for great works of art.
And that's exactly The Twelfth Planet was, was a work of art.
It's science fiction, heavy emphasis on fiction.
That being said, I will admit, it makes for a great story.
But also yeah, The Fourth Kind (2009) did it better than Crystal's Shadow (2019).

 

[okidoke]

Made 2021. Too many cliches, attempts at jumps scares, predictable in so many ways, acting was ordinary, urgh.

 

[okidoke]

Saw the first one a couple years ago which I actually enjoyed and this one wasn’t bad either. Impressive camera work.

1927 Alfred Hitchcock silent

View attachment 7758

One of my favorite old Hitchcock's.

Curious in that the novel has been made into a movie a number of times.

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1926)
The Phantom Fiend (1932)
The Lodger (1944)
Man in the Attic (1953)
The Lodger (1965) Armchair Mystery Theatre episode
Der Mieter (1967) Austrian TV version
The Lodger (2009)

Along with having been done as a radio drama a number of times and as an opera once.

I have only managed to see three of the versions though the 1932 version
appears to me on the Internet Archive so maybe I can get around to it. It also stars
Ivor Novello from the 1926 version but of course a big difference is that sound
came to the movies by the time of the second film.

1944

1953

Meh. Assumes the audience is dumb.
