“If the World’s Gonna End, I Want to Know When” - The 13th Floor (1988)

Not to be confused with the later science fiction film The Thirteenth Floor (1999), The 13th Floor (1988) is an Australian ghost thriller with at one ghost and at least that many thrills. 

Some of your universe's critics fail to appreciate the chilling The 13th Floor. For example, reviewer HumanoidOfFlesh writes, ""The 13th Floor" is easily one of the worst horror films I have ever seen." Reviewer arfdawg-1 writes, "I love Oz horror movies, but this is barely a horror movie. Even the ending is ridiculous. Unfortunately, there is nothing to recommend here." And reviewer PeterMitchell-506-564364 writes, "This film is undoubtedly one of the worst and tasteless horrors Australia has ever produced, and that goes double for it's [sic] smarts."

“Teaching Communication Skills to the Penguins Down There” - Alien Hunter (2003)

Alien Hunter is a 2003 science fiction thriller starring James Spader that asks the question, "What if aliens came to Earth and interacted with humans for a few seconds?" Although that question had already been answered years earlier in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Alien Hunter adds the highly original setting of an Antarctic research base and the highly original concept of an alien object frozen in a block of ice.

Some of your universe's critics fail to see the brilliance of Alien Hunter. For example, reviewer wabl summarizes the film with "Very bad acting, and a very shallow story. Not even a decent B-Movie." Reviewer adoyle444 writes, "By god does this movie suck really bad." And reviewer adnyuk dismisses the film as "Disjointed - poorly filmed - non directed junk."

Of course, these reviewers are incorrect. Read on for an accurate assessment of Alien Hunter...
