MCT:August 31, 2008A mixture of punk rock and science fantasy, Liquid Sky is set against the backdrop of a drugs-saturated new wave Manhatten and concerns an extra-terrestrial visitor obsessed with the pleasure drug, heroin.
Liquid Sky is a film which makes us care more about the fate of it's characters than would seem likely from their spectacular decadent nastiness. Starring: Anne Carlisle, Paula Sheppard, Bob Brady, Susan Doukas, Elaine C Grove, Stanley Knap, Jack Adalist and Otto Von Wernherr. -
MCT:February 21, 2008AMAZING on SO many levels. Costumes that will bring to mind the results of "Project Runway" had they created it in the 80's. A sountrack that will blow your mind (and your Casiotone). And orgasmic seeking aliens! What more could you as for?

MCT:February 20, 2008I'm not entirely sure what to make of this movie - it's either a bizarre cult movie with moments of brilliance or a poorly made piece of trash dripping with faux-edginess and pretension.
The sci-fi elements of the story are really neither here nor there and don't impact much on the story apart from a couple of conversations and trippy visual interludes. The focus of the movie is on a group of lesbian and bisexual characters in the New York punk/new wave scene of the early 80s.
That's where this movie lives or dies for the viewer. If you're into that scene, this is a great historical document of that era. if not, it's a difficult watch. In many ways, the production values are terrible - the acting's not great (though the lead Anne Carlisle does OK in a dual role), the music is awful, sounding like someone playing around with a £30 Casio keyboard, the movie stops every so often for badly filtered effects or long "performance art" sequences that can be painful to watch as can the feminist overtones.
Overall, it's an interesting movie with parallels to Alex Cox's Repo Man and Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer regarding the documenting of that time in history. As entertainment for the rest of us, it's a miserable failure. -
MCT:April 15, 2007Oh my God...I hated this movie so much. Yet, looking away was absolutely unthinkable.
Horrible. Yet enjoyable. I mean, if you don't like yourself enough to spend two hours doing something useful, like doing your thesis... -

HISS! The film that shall not be named! An atrocious, abominable attemt at subverting the alien invasion flick and suffusing it with a punk-filmmaking edge. It fails. Miserably. I've wasted many, many hours of my life watching and rewatching some of the worst films ever made, and yet this is the one that my group and I cannot even call by name, for fear of invoking its unholy prescence. Sadly, I've still seen worse, but the effect this film has on my brain is unquestionably bad, turning me into a semi-catatonic, mumbling fool for indeterminate amounts of time. While many could argue I spend most of my life that way anyway, I assure you if that is the case, it is only due to the resurfacing residual effects of watching this movie. And watching it again will only make it worse. The half star is only for one endlessly repeatable line of dialog and, well, becaues I haven't figured out how to give no stars yet.

love the new wave soundtrack :)
horrible acting , shitty storyline and alot more reasons why this movie is awful. but its enjoyable for the sole reason cause there are not too many alien nympho new wave punk films out there lol -
MCT:March 4, 2007Fucking brilliant sci-fi trash! This is a super-duper film if you are a fan of obscure/trashy films! Features some amazing dialogue from the characters, colourful costumes and bizarre make-up and overall a slightly silly but inventive and funny storyline. 5 stars instantly!

I love the androgeny and campy alien feel. The sexual tension between the dual roles was erotically nacicistic.

MCT:August 6, 2006Like a train-wreck... it's horrible, but you can't stop watching it. If you like wierd, this one is for you.

This film might first appear threadbare and cheesy, but there's a great deal of symbolism to be found under all the makeup and neon.
