Space Travel
see all genres ›"I want to be an astronaut when I grow up!" Right. Another dream, bitterly dashed against the jagged rocks of cruel reality. However, since Méliès in the medium's earliest days, movies have been eager to put us in the weightless capsule's pilot seat and send us off to the farthest reaches of the universe. Or at the least to the moon, which is a cheaper getaway.

Horror of the Blood Monsters
Cinematic recycling doesn't come any more gloriously cheesy than this 1970 Al Adamson drive-in wonder. The director (of DRACULA VS.

Sneak Attack
SNEAK ATTACK is both spiffy sci-fi pastiche and a thrilling exercise in synchronicity.
