A group of college students on an environmental studies trip discover something truly terrible buried deep in the woods in this shocker starring Daryl Hannah. Amy Singer and her friends were excavating what they believed to be an ancient Indian burial site when they discovered a human arm bone with a Rolex still attached to the wrist. Realizing that they've discovered a different kind of burial ground than anyone anticipated, the students try frantically to escape as they are stalked through the woods. Meanwhile, Carrie Mitchell (Hannah) is driving to her new house in Salem, Maine when a terrified Amy staggers out of the woods. Amy has been badly injured, and as Carrie tends to her wounds the frightened girl begins to reveal the horrors that befell her friends back in the woods. As Amy's story winds to a close, Carrie realizes that the end is yet to come, and that her mysterious passenger still harbors one last, horrible secret. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In the future, the Earth has become uninhabitable, leaving the last remaining humans to set off on a spacecraft to populate a vacant planet. The majority of the thousands of people aboard have been frozen as they wait for a space anomaly to modify the environment, making the planet suitable for human life. Unfortunately, a group of space bad guys has come aboard and has the potential to put an end to humankind for good. Directed by Lloyd A. Simandl, Starfire Mutiny stars Joe Lara and Elise Muller. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Direct-to-video auteur Lloyd A. Simandl directs Kari Wuhrer in this silly sci-fi exercise. Wuhrer portrays Sasha Burns, who must use all of her powers to help Governer Crombie (Daniel Fleischer-Brown) stop a spaceship from crashing into (and therefore destroying Los Angeles. In an attempt to keep the audience from noticing the thin plot, the director has included many women-in-prison film clichés and given them a futuristic twist. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

C.C. Costigan portrays Nikki Savage, a guard on a futuristic space colony who must save the world from evil aliens. Lloyd A. Simandl's film combines well-worn clichés from two very different genres (women's prison films and sci-fi horror films) in an attempt to create something different. Imagine Species or Ghosts of Mars crossed with Reform School Girls or Caged Fury and that should reveal the level this film is shooting for. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

In this mysterious outing, a European monastery proves to be the home of evil, a fact quickly discovered by the American woman who shows up for a visit. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Die Hard meets Cliffhanger in this two-fisted action flick full of cool guns and exploding racists. One cop stands between order and lawlessness when a nefarious band of white supremacists invade a ski resort and take the guests hostage. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

It is October 6, 2022 and humankind is nearly extinct thanks to a massive alien attack. Astronaut Michael Raynor is fleeing the planet in his spacecraft when suddenly a "wormhole" opens up and sucks him into a time warp. He finally makes it back to the ground and finds himself in Washington state in the year 1992. Soon scientists and military personnel descend upon him and his craft. They get the ship, but he escapes and finds himself pursued by the same human-looking aliens who are destroying the world in his own time. Among the invaders is lovely Karen, who poses as a scientist and decides to help Raynor save his planet. To do this, they must keep Neila from becoming president. They do not know that Neila is himself an outworlder (but discerning audience members who can spell things backwards certainly do!) As the action in the past continues, so does the future story as the few remaining humans battle it out with the aliens in futuristic Washington, D.C. Back in the past Neila and his henchmen decide to make sure Raynor is never born and take off after his pregnant mother who is going to bear him later that year. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

In a post-apocalyptic world prone to a dangerous virus, roving motorcycle gangs replenish their draining blood supplies by abducting helpless females. A would-be victim (Melanie Kilgour) decides to fight back with her friend (William Smith) and two hippie-rebels (Andrew MacGregor and Joe Maffei). ~ John Bush, All Movie Guide

In this chilling thriller, a man becomes obsessed with a beautiful but deadly woman. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Beyond the Silhouette a Canadian-made, silly, erotic political thriller uses so many pretentious effects and dream sequences that it is almost impossible to follow the story. Samatha Stewart (Tracy Scoggins) is a prim public defender who gives a ride to Vicky (Suzy Joachim) a sexy prostitute running from some hit men and hiding a valuable broach. Before she is murdered, Vicky gives the broach to Samatha who then becomes Vicky's alter-ego, eventually becoming a prostitute. This direct-to-video erotic thriller will disappoint those looking for softcore sex. While Scoggins is quite beautiful, she does little more than model a variety of sexy lingerie and the sex scenes are infrequent. Those looking for good erotic thrillers might well look elsewhere. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide
