Inspirational Movies and TV for Dark Conspiracy
A couple more:
Brazil for the retro-tech stylings, and maybe the Orwellian storyline.
The Naked Lunch for the cockroach typewriter alone. Retro-ET/Dark Tek anyone? Is Lee working for the insectoid ETs but doesn't really know it? Also the Interzone, is it perhaps a proto-dimension?

And another one: Trancers.
Retro styling again, and what's barmy cult leader Martin Whistler if not a high level empath? Haven't seen the later sequels but I gather 4 and 5 feature dimensional travel. They're also supposed to be not very good?

It's almost impossible to find, but another good flick is Cast a Deadly Spell. The setting is more film noir, and there is an unbelievable amount of Cthulhu influence (The main character is a private eye named H. Phillips Lovecraft) but it's still a pretty fun little movie with the hero fighting monsters his enemies summon and send after him.
"All right, Phase 6, Bad guys go first..."
I've seen that. It's quite enjoyable. Fred Ward in the starring role. He's usually worth watching. Also David Warner who often turns up in Lovecraft inspired movies. Think there's a sequel with Dennis Hopper replacing Ward? Lee knows.anthraxus wrote:It's almost impossible to find, but another good flick is Cast a Deadly Spell.

A quick tootle around the imdb reveals that it's called Witch Hunt and directed by Paul Schrader of all people:Zvezda wrote:Do you know the name of the sequel?

Seems to be a metaphorical examination of McCarthyism.

That's where I got my copy of Cast a Deadly Spell from. I think they have Witch Hunt as well.

Cast A Deadly Spell has been on TV here in the UK. Think it was Channel 5, which is sort of like a satellite station, only on terrestrial.Zvezda wrote:It seems as if both films where produced for TV. They will be really hard to get.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned the Nightstalker series yet (old or new)? I caught an episode of the new series this past friday(?) and it wasnt too bad. Neat idea.
What about Bladerunner? I like the feel of that movie and try to use a lot of elements for certain DC events (weather, massive billboards, etc).
