A video store clerk stumbles onto an alien plot to take over earth by brainwashing people with a bad '50s science fiction movie. He and his friends race to stop the aliens before the tapes can be distributed world-wide.
Director Jeff Leiberman made one of the best cult movies of the 70s with "Blue Sunshine " and made his idiosyncratic mark in the slasher genre with "Just before dawn". This 1988 entry is far less known/regarded. It is a unique, campy and fun little nod to 1950s sci-fi and then current fads. Kevin Dilon is excellent as our lead, and the whole vibe is one of fascination at discovering some weird old sci-fi flick on a basic cable tv station at 3 am.
