Ok, I’ll admit it. I have a soft spot for Robert Dyke’s 1989 sci-fi horror Moontrap. I have ever since the weekend I rented it and 1990′s The Dark Side of the Moon and was blown away by both space-faring terror tales. Which is probably why I own multiple copies Moontrap; well that and the fact there hasn’t been a perfect release of the film on DVD or Blu yet… So when a sequel was announced decades after the release of the film, it’s safe to say my interest was peaked. In fact we first wrote about the sequel, titled Moontrap: Target Earth, way, way back in 2014. Then things went all quiet on the sci-fi front. Until last month.

Born Of Earth
2008 USA 84mins
Director: Tommy Brunswick
Starring: Daniel Baldwin, James Russo, Shannon Zeller, Jennifer Kincer, and Brad Dourif
Entertainment One
Review by J Astro
Here it is, the year 2012, and we’re just getting around to this monstrous offering from back in ’08… not because we’re lazy, but because, from what I understand, it’s only now getting distribution attention. One could be forgiven for not exactly waiting with bated breath for this release. I had never even heard of it before, honestly. And for good reason – it just ain’t that special.
My main issue with throwaway films like Born Of Earth is a matter of simple volume. I honestly feel that too many movies get made nowadays “just because.” The market is over-saturated with knock-offs and cheap copies. Somebody gets themselves a fistful of cash and borrows a camera and decides to churn out some bare-bones semblance of horror flick.
