Recent college graduate Herman Schumacher has just taken up residence in an apparently great house with apparently great roommates. But all is not well. Why did the roommate Herman replaced leave all of his stuff behind, as though he never really left? And why do the rest of the roommates "assume" he joined a cult? And why is there a makeshift tombstone with his name on it in the backyard? And what's the deal with the monster that's stealing Herman's socks and living in a giant labyrinth under the house? As Herman searches for the answers he'll learn that they can only be found on a path that leads to sex, murderous murder, hole-digging, and a BATTLE TO THE DEATH!
On Oct. 14th, 1991, a videotape fell out of the sky and made a large crater in Bloomington, Minnesota. We at Amazing Schlock were fortunate enough to come into possession of that tape in 1998, and we made The Movie From the Future, a documentary about the "space-tape" and its amazing contents. The tape had apparently fallen back in time through a black hole, and on it was a movie called Daddy, I Love an Alien. The film is a fascinating look at species discrimination, robot civil rights, the war between humanity and various aliens, and, of course, love. The Movie From the Future consists of large clips of Daddy, I Love an Alien as well as informative interviews with the scientists who have made the study of the "space-tape" their life's work, as well as with those who believe that the film is a clever hoax perpetrated by desperate filmmakers. Is the film a hoax? If it's not, what can it teach us? Watch the film and decide for yourself.
