Highly Overrated But Still Good

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

THE LATE NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE is another throwback indie feature from director Christopher R. Mihm, made on tiny budgets and shot in black and white. They're conceived as tributes to 1950s cult cinema with deliberately retro styliings and a low-fi look. Mihm usually makes feature-length productions but these two came up short so he put them together as one. The first, X: THE FIEND FROM BEYOND SPACE, is a generic bit of fun about a space crew attacked by a man-in-a-suit alien. The second, THE WALL PEOPLE, is about unusual child abductors and less successful as the budget is too low to do the story justice. The films are too cheap to really work but at least they don't outstay their welcome too much.
