Alarmed is the latest original film from the streaming service Tubi. Regular readers may have noticed it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed one of those, and there’s a simple reason for that. Apart from Terror Train, which went to a different service here, they haven’t done anything that caught my attention lately. This sounded like it could be a decent home invasion thriller so I gave it a look.
Janet and Sean are having marital issues. The fact their son Billy got busted for hacking some government networks and is back living with them 24/7 while he serves a sentence under house arrest isn’t helping matters.
They decide they need some time to themselves and plan a weekend getaway.

It’s a very limited audience, to be honest, but if the movie manages to find it, it could potentially turn into a cult classic. As you might already be imagining, Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel is not a “good” movie in the traditional sense of the word. Performances are...

It seems strange to produce a sequel to a film that virtually no one has heard of, but that's what Antonio Lexerot and Vincent J. Roth have done with their belated follow-up to 2006's Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes. Depicting the further adventures of its titular character, the first out gay superhero, Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel proves so gleefully campy it makes the 1960s Batman television series look gritty by comparison.
Lexerot and Roth may be godawful filmmakers, but they certainly have one hell of a Rolodex. As with the original, this entry's chief virtue...
