2000s - Attack from Planet B

If you put all comparisons to John Carpenter’s 1978 original slasher aside, Rob Zombie has done an admirable job of trying to demystify the boogeyman. Micheal Myers is not the embodiment of pure evil, but rather a troubled and misguided soul whose self-induced isolation leads him on a killing-spree on Halloween night.

“Inside every one us, there exists a dark side. Most people rise above it, but some are consumed by it. Until there is nothing left, but pure evil.” PRESS PLAY ►

The Machine Girl (2008) – Retooled and Remodelled

2nd February 2012Dominic O'Brien

With non-stop gore and bonkers characters, this is the Japanese exploitation film that was one of the few to get noticed by the wider world and let the whole catalogue of Japanese exploitation get a foot-hold in world cinema.

Attack From Planet B loves to bring to you, Dom’s Retooled and Remodelled look at the 2008 film The Machine Girl, where Ami Hyūga as an avenging high school girl is ready to take down the people responsible for her brother’s death, but she’s no ordinary girl, she’s THE MACHINE GIRL!

Henenlotter Revisited

1st July 2011Dominic O'Brien

Here at Attack from Planet B we would like to give a warm welcome to our newest writer, Dominic O’Brien. For he first contribution, he has supplied us with a wonderfull article on the works of director Frank Henenlotter. So please set back, read and enjoy this latest addition to the world of attack From Planet B.

Although he only has six directorial features under his belt (in little under 30 years), Frank Henenlotter is still considered a B-Movie pioneer. The king of modern day exploitation film, if you will. All of which got me thinking, there really isn’t that much in the way of articles or written info on Mr Henenlotter, particularly since he went into semi-retired after Basket Case 3. So I thought I would show my appreciation for this crazed eccentric and un-pc film maker with his gloriously distasteful sense of humor. PRESS PLAY ►
