Alpha Incident

A bio weapon is accidentally unleashed on a train, and a couple people have spend the movie quarantined in a small town depot. If you ever wanted to watch a movie comprised of almost nothing but people sitting around going, "I wonder what's going to happen to us," then this is the film for you. I still don't know what happens to them, because I didn't care and have yet to finish the movie. They should have borrowed some exploding chests from Alien Contamination. Easily one of the most boring films I've ever almost finished.

Alien Species

Pretty horrible movie that, for whatever reason, remained ridiculously entertaining. When the earth is attacked by aliens, we must watch to separate plots, one about Charles Napier as a small-town sheriff going "What the hell is going on?" before he just sort of disappears from the movie, and the other about a group of researchers who collide with a group of corrections officers and prisoners, all of whom end up wandering around inside a cave while pursued by aliens. There's not really a single competent thing in this movie other than Napier as the small-town sheriff, a role he's played so many times that I think he's been granted actual powers of law enforcement. Still, everything is awful in a pretty entertaining fashion.

Beast of the Yellow Night

This movie is one of several from Filipino director Eddie Romero that have the word "Blood" in the title. It's basically a wolfman movie, but with Vic Diaz as the Devil and an old blind man who must have thought he was in a Frankenstein movie. But we'll forgive him since he's blind. Plot revolves around a deserter in WWII who cuts a deal with the Devil to avoid death, and then spends the next some-odd years leaping from body to body, until he finally lands in the body of a swanky businessman and gets tired of his curse. In order to make things worse for him, Devil Diaz causes him to turn into a monster. But not just a monster -- a monster with a stomach ache!

It was pretty watchable fare as far as drive-in filler goes. I never needed to see Vic Diaz in a loin cloth, but now I have.
