Ghost of the Alien Vampire


Back in 1991, there was a neat little sci-fi/horror movie made by a highly underestimated director. 

Movie : The Arrival. 
Director : David Schmoeller

I saw it on video 17 years ago, only attracted by the fact that Richard Band composed the soundtrack. Even though the limited budget allowed very few effects, this highly atmospheric movie is completely original and succeeds at being different. Mixing various themes such as alien invasion, vampire, rejuvenation and even oestrogen-addiction... I mean, damn. What else can you expect from a movie? Just go and rent it. Buy it. Do it. Birds do it. Bees do it.

and, oh, Richard Band composed one of his best scores to date. You can hear some notes of Day Time ended here and there, some of his famous Full Moon effects and many sound effects creating a strange feeling. Somewhere between romance and horror (an i will excuse him for the dreadful 90's flava of "The bar" track. Absolutely horrible. Reminds me of Alan Silvestri having a bad hair day doing No Mercy. Yeech.)
