Ok, I’ll admit it. I have a soft spot for Robert Dyke’s 1989 sci-fi horror Moontrap. I have ever since the weekend I rented it and 1990′s The Dark Side of the Moon and was blown away by both space-faring terror tales. Which is probably why I own multiple copies Moontrap; well that and the fact there hasn’t been a perfect release of the film on DVD or Blu yet… So when a sequel was announced decades after the release of the film, it’s safe to say my interest was peaked. In fact we first wrote about the sequel, titled Moontrap: Target Earth, way, way back in 2014. Then things went all quiet on the sci-fi front. Until last month.

It’s been over two years since we last reported on the film but today the creators of Moontrap – the Bruce Campbell starring cult sci-fi feature – have announced that Moontrap Target Earth, the long-awaited sequel, will be released in the Us on February 7th 2017.
Moontrap Target Earth comes from Robert Dyke and Tex Ragsdale, the director and writer of the original film and stars indie film favorite Sarah Butler (I Spit on Your Grave remake), stars with Damon Dayoub (Stitchers) and Charles Shaughnessy (The Nanny).
Moontrap Target Earth continues to explore the concept of an ancient Earth civilization that mastered space travel and colonized the Moon. “We always believed that there were more stories that could be told in the ‘Moontrap Universe’ we created,” said writer Tex Ragsdale. Director Robert Dyke added, “It just took us a lot longer than we anticipated to agree on one.”

Every day seems to bring a new release celebrating the anniversary of some well known movie from the past. Moontrap may not be that well known, but Olive Films is honoring the Walter Koenig/Bruce Campbell sci-fi horror flick’s 25th anniversary with its first ever DVD/Blu-ray release.
It would probably be fair to call Moontrap an obscure film these days since it has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray (at least in the Us) since its brief theatrical run and video release all the way back in 1989. VHS and gray market DVDs have been the only way to see the movie until now.
The best way to describe Moontrap to the uninitiated is to imagine a Stuart Gordon-esque splicing of Alien and Hardware.
Synopsis:
During a routine flight, two veteran space shuttle pilots ("Star Trek’s" Walter Koenig and Evil Dead’s Bruce Campbell) discover an...

I swear to God it’s not an illusion… says Debra Port in this short trailer for the upcoming sci-fi horror titled Liquid Red. Well, about that upcoming-part… I’m not sure what to tell you guys, Robert Dyke‘s movie is currently in post production, and there’s still nothing about an official release date. But, I definitely think this movie deserves your attention, so make sure you check out the video and some cool & pretty weird images from the whole thing!
Liquid Red tells the story of a female filmmaker who (somehow) becomes the victim of the surreal fantasies and horrors of the movies she makes. Or, as director Dyke previously revealed:
Liquid Red became a journey of a woman experiencing an alien invasion, murderous clones, mad scientists, the last days of planet Earth and, of course, zombies. Even stranger may be her encounters with a sexy movie star and power-mad studio head,...

What is Liquid Red? I’m not entirely sure. “Moontrap” director Robert Dyke’s upcoming genre-bending effort is giving off some seriously strong Cronenberg vibes, and I kind of dig what I’ve seen thus far. The trailer starts out kind of slow — the first 90 seconds involve nothing more than an increasingly distressed lady speaking directly to the camera — but once the crazy kicks in, you’ll be glad you stuck around. I may not know what Liquid Red is, but I’m extremely curious to find learn more. Here’s hoping this one shows up sooner, you know, rather than later. Check out this synopsis, courtesy of Shock Till You Drop: Liquid Red stars Debra Port as a woman experiencing an alien invasion, murderous clones, mad scientists, the last days of planet Earth and zombies. Even stranger are her encounters with a sexy movie star (Caprice Benedetti) and power-mad...

Horror filmmakers are special people. Just their inborn desire to scare the living shit out of anyone that sits down to watch their work is notable enough, but what would happen if a filmmaker got caught up in her own nightmares? The answer is Liquid Red.
We just received a ton of new images as well as a pretty chilling trailer for Robert Dyke's new movie Liquid Red. The film stars Debra Port, Caprice Benedetti and Vince Grant. Dyke's company, Scout Productions, working in association with Detroit-based Wall Street Productions, recently completed Liquid Red with an anticipated release later this year.
From the Press Release
A beautiful filmmaker finds herself trapped in the fantasies and horrors of her movies. That idea jump-started Robert Dyke (director of Moontrap and Timequest, both featuring cult god Bruce Campbell) to create Liquid Red.

Moontrap and Timequest helmer Robert Dyke (who did the miniatures on Evil Dead II) is back behind the camera for a bizarre slice of cinema called Liquid Red.
The film thrusts a female filmmaker into the surreal fantasies and horrors of the movies she makes. "This concept combining my favorite genres of horror, fantasy and science fiction got me excited," said Dyke, "and this would give me the opportunity to do a show piece for professional talents I waned to work with again."
Liquid Red stars Debra Port as a woman experiencing an alien invasion, murderous clones, mad scientists, the last days of planet Earth and zombies. Even stranger are her encounters with a sexy movie star (Caprice Benedetti) and power-mad studio head (Vince Grant) who inhabit a surreal Hollywood.

Walter Koenig doesn't shy away from a challenge. Writing scripts is a tough gig. Getting movies produced, especially indie fare; not so easy. Writer-producer Koenig, however, waged -- and won -- a near-decade-long battle to bring InAlienable (2010) to the screen. A sci-fi thriller and legal drama, InAlienable follows the plight of a guilt-ridden scientist, Dr. Norris (Richard Hatch), who gives birth to an alien-human hybrid child, a child that then becomes the focal point of a legal case over whether it's a living entity with rights or an abomination that must be destroyed. Koenig -- beloved by millions of fans worldwide for his portrayal of Chekov in the original-cast Star Trek series and features -- co-stars in the film as Dr. Norris's bitter boss, Shilling, while other familiar genre names include Gary Graham, Marina Sirtis, Alan Ruck, Erick Avari, Richard Herd, and Courtney Peldon. InAlienable is out now on DVD from Anchor Bay,...
