Something Is Out There (1988) mini series

[Socko]

This year one of my favourite TV mini series turned 35 years old.

Something Is Out There.


In my opinion it's an underrated classic which has never been released on any official physical disc.
It's a TV pilot that runs 160+ minutes and it was divided in 2 parts back in May of 1988.
I own the VHS, but it's a very bad conversion from NTSC to PAL.
It's not as good as V, but still worth to check out.

It's about a cop (back in the 80's it was always about a cop) who meets a mysterious humanoid alien. She left the mothership and landed on Earth to find an escaped Xenomorph.

The pilot had some great talents working in front of the camera and behind the camera.

Rick Baker did the creature effects and John Dykstra the special visual effects.
