It's all about quality and not quantity in this week's Horror In Your House as you can pick up two really solid indie fares, Image Entertainment's 50's throwback Alien Trespass and IFC Film's The Wild Man of Navidad. For those of you who enjoyed A Perfect Getaway, you might want to check out Lionsgate's release of The Last Resort, which stars Friday the 13th's America Olivo.
Horror in Your House
August 11, 2009
ALIEN TRESSPASS: Image Entertainment (TEX'S PICK OF THE WEEK)
A flying saucer, ray guns, body snatching and a one-eyed monster from outer space! It’s all here in this action-packed sci-fi adventure! Eric McCormack stars as an astronomer who gets possessed by a friendly alien bent on saving our humble planet. But even with the help of a lovely diner waitress, is he any match for the Ghota, a one-eyed evil alien on a murderous rampage?
TEX SAYS: Between this flick and "THE WILD MAN OF THE NAVIDAD" Horror in Your House has a reprieve from last week's garbage. Check 'em both out, but I did love this great little 50's sci-fi spoof!

In 1975, the small town of Sublime, Texas had an encounter with a creature so horrifying that it remains legend today: Deep in the woods along the Navidad River, someone or something has left its lair to rip a trail of ferocious carnage through the local population. Is it man, monster or Lone Star myth? And in a rural community commanded by the Bible, corrupted by moonshine and ruled by rifles, can anything stop the vengeance of a beast unleashed?
Dark Rising is CRAP. Came out here a year ago. It's like soft core porn quality, without the porn! Tries way to hard to be funny in a Bruce Campbell way and fails. The puppet demon at the end is rivaled only by Rock n' Roll Nightmare, but at least that one is bad in a good way, this one tries to be bad in a good way making it extra bad in a bad way.
