You want to see something really scary?
Since we’ve been talking a whole lot of Sci-Fi thanks to The Brothers Strause latest Skyline, we’ve been thinking monsters! And since the monsters there look massively intense, it seems like a good time to revisit a few classic beasties!
The science fiction genre has presented a number of terrifying aliens, including those murderous monsters in Skyline. So iamROGUE.com has put together a list of some of the scariest in the SCIFI universe. We found a number of drooling, oozing, murdering creations that you can only hope will never find their way to earth in part 2 of our Monstrous SCIFI Monsters list! You can check out Part 1 here.
Alien abduction has come a long way. What once was thought to only include a few farmers here and there, now could be the better part of civilization thanks to Skyline, the latest feature by FX maestro’s The Brothers Strause. With Skyline shining down on us this Friday at a theatre near you, the idea of alien abduction came to mind, and how it has been represented in film, and in various real life encounters.
It is late. Darkness fills the air. There is peace and quiet as somebody is sleeping comfortably in their bed. Yet something strange lurks just outside. A bright light fills the room with a bluish tone. The walls begin to shake and the curtains move as if a forceful wind is pushing them away from the window. That same window opens by an unseen force. And slowly, the person lying in bed is lifted, undisturbed from their slumber, taken by an unseen force. Whatever it is that lights the sky has soon disappeared and the quite returns, yet the person once resting peacefully is nowhere to be seen.
What the world needs is more Men and Black/X-Files rip-offs... I'm not being snarky, I really can't get enough of that kind of thing. While another MiB is two years away, and The X-Files is dead, there's plenty of room for more monster-hunting-in-the-real-world fun to be had. (Unfortunately, I don't hold Hellboy in very high esteem.) Production companies Mad Chance (Jonah Hex) and Circle of Confusion (AMC's upcoming "The Walking Dead") are hoping to fill the void and get a franchise going with Lore, based on the IDW graphic novel that seems like it would nestle in quite nicely with the above mentioned titles.
Well, I don't really know what to make of this news; it just makes me realize how British Gillian Anderson has really become. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Ever since The X-Files came to a close, Anderson has predominantly been working in the UK, where she lives, and staying away from the public eye with a variety of indie films and stage productions. Now it would appear as though she's ready to move on to something... different.
