Summary

Special thanks to Josh Wilson who commissioned the 1995 cult sci-fi movie, "Screamers". Starring Peter "Robocop" Weller, it works as both a goofy b-grade science fiction flick and a semi-serious work based on a short story by no less than Phillip K. Dick. It punches well above it's weight in terms of concept, set, and costume design, but then surrounds Weller with below replacement value actors such as "Poor Man's Bill Paxton" and "Homeless Man's Val Kilmer" with mixed results. Still, it managed to provide both laughs and scares, and we feel we enjoyed it in the spirit it was intended.
