THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: ALIEN ZONE

Cinemavixion Review

Sharron Miller's "The House Of The Dead: Alien Zone" presents a triptych of unsettling narratives that delve into the darker corners of the human psyche. The film weaves together tales of a disturbed photographer, a miserly recluse, and a menacing group of children, each segment designed to provoke and disturb. The direction navigates these macabre stories with a distinct, albeit uneven, flair, focusing on atmosphere and psychological tension over conventional scares. While the production may reflect its 1978 origins, the thematic explorations of obsession, isolation, and corrupted innocence offer a chilling, if occasionally campy, viewing experience. It's a collection that aims for the unsettling, and in its more focused moments, succeeds in creating a uniquely eerie atmosphere.
