Yes Other Worlds fans, it is true: I have never read a single page of the actual book. I don’t have any real excuses.

This is easily one of my favorite films we’ve had at Other Worlds, and not just because of the simple nostalgic trappings. It’s clear a lot of love for the horror genre went into this; no trope is left unused, every cliché and contradiction is questioned and embraced.

Did you know that the original Ultimate Warrior died in 1991? And he was replaced by an impostor Ultimate Warrior portayed by Kerry Von Erich starting in 1992? Because it totally happened.

Reactions to the deaths of celebrities are strange when you stop to think about them. These are people we didn’t know. When one does pass on, we usually celebrate their work… So what do you do when one passes on in a horrific way that doesn’t call for celebration?

It’s not like the filmmakers were approaching the film attempting to examine deep questions about our future…Their idea was to put Jason on a spaceship and let him do his thing. On that merit, they succeeded.
