Ineffective tribute to fringe documentaries
14 October 2020
This film by Craig Baldwin is seemingly a tribute to the type of stream of consciousness documentaries that Winston Wheeler Dixon was known for making in the late 1970's. A constant stream of vaguely connected but consistently outlandish out ideas barrage the viewer while clips from b-movies (ranging from Death Race 2000 to a slew of 1950's sci-fi/horror movies) accompany the narration. Through this mechanism we are given a story of how aliens have lived under the Earth for some time, manipulating global politics in an attempt to control mankind. It has the potential to be great as they take actual historical events such as the Bay of Pigs or the C.I.A. backed Guatemalan rebellion and view it through the lens of alien conspiracy. Sadly while these and other individual stories are quite fun, their lack of connection to the other stories severely diminishes any enjoyment that might be derived. My suggestion is to stick with the originals and leave this to languish in obscurity.
