Own the Out-of-This-World DVD & Digital Edition October 2, 2012. A small New England town circa 1956 is the setting for Richard Griffin’s delightful homage to “B” sci-fi cinema, Atomic Brain Invasion! The feature marks Richard’s first foray into family-friendly science fiction, employing plot, character development, production value and gobs of goo-spewing alien brain creatures to stunning success. The director elaborated:
“For all of us involved, Atomic Brain Invasion was a wonderful way to make a horror film not only for adults to enjoy, but also to reach out to young people who were our age when we first discovered horror/sci-fi films in our pre-teens. Making a movie that will both entertain children and adults is always a risky venture, but we feel that Atomic Brain Invasion includes enough action, humor, romance and… of course… gruesome monsters… to thrill and excite audiences from 8 to 80! Plus, who doesn’t want to see the King of Rock and Roll go toe to toe with slimy brain creatures from outer space?”
Synopsis
“They Came for the King!”
When a mysterious spacecraft carrying a deadly intergalactic plague crash-lands in a small New England town, it’s up to a group of misfit high schoolers and an alien abductee to stop the army of slime-spewing brain creatures from their one goal: kidnapping Elvis Presley!
Oozing with ’50s pop-culture affection, Atomic Brain Invasion is a gleefully gooey homage to classic sci-fi cinema that the critics call “a success on every level, quick on its feet and packed with in-jokes for the seasoned genre film fan.” Kristofer Upjohn, Corazine.com
Theatrical screening and early press on Atomic Brain Invasion concludes:
“Half of the joy of watching 1950s “B” sci-fi movies was rooting for the cast to triumph over, not only the monster, but the monstrously small budgets. Atomic Brain Invasion is a delightful homage to that genre, successfully walking that fine line between high camp and well-crafted kitsch. It looks beautiful and, seriously, any movie that has a plotline involving aliens out to kidnap Elvis? Two tendrils up!” Ed Naha, Screenwriter “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”
So, blast-off this October with Atomic Brain Invasion, a must-see for fans of “B” and sci-fi cinema!
Available to digital and home entertainment markets for the first time, Atomic Brain Invasion is presented with commentary by director Richard Griffin, Producer Ted Marr and cast members David Lee White and David Wilson, as well as a robust Camp Motion Pictures trailer vault.
