Originally released in the US at the end of December 2021, with no fanfare, publicity, or (at the time) even an IMDb page, War of the Worlds: Annihilation is the latest film made by The Asylum exclusively for US streaming service Tubi and now making its UK debut via 101 Films. Like their first Tubi original film, Swim, I’ve found their films to be hit or miss, usually miss and the way this was originally dumped quietly in the middle of the holiday season didn’t do anything to make me hopeful about what I was about to watch.
A massive group of meteorites, which for some reason the characters keep calling asteroids, fall from the sky all over the globe releasing a strange toxic smoke. The military,...

"Besides, I love talking to you..." It's always nice to come across some fascinating minimal sci-fi filmmaking in a short film - and this one is definitely worth a watch. Mirror Site is "subtle sci-fi" short film made by writer / director Karl Richter in Los Angeles. It's a bit of a Black Mirror-esque story about a guy talking to a woman on the phone, who starts to wonder if he's stuck inside some kind of digital prison of sorts. After playing at film festivals last year, it's online for anyone to watch. The 12-minute short film stars Michael Marcel as Ben, and a storng supporting cast including Kendall Chappell, Khrishna Grace, Brenda Nascimento, Jill Renner, and Kayla Sarian. I wasn't sure what to make of this at first, but as it keeps going the more invested I became, not to mention curious to find out what was really going on.

Originally released in 2015, I was something of a fan of the superhero mockbuster Avengers Grimm, which was an off-the-wall mix of Grimm Fairy tale characters and superhero team-up movies from the schlockmeisters at The Asylum, the company behind such films as Transmorphers, Hercules Reborn and Sharknado. Despite its low-budget and somewhat flawed nature, the film was, and still is, a brilliant example of how to modernise fairy tale characters and Not just be a Once Upon a Time rip-off. It’s also a fantastic example of a family-friendly action movie with a strong central female cast – beating the current crop of big-budget movies to the mark by a few years (it’s surprising sometimes how often low-budget indie film making...
