Sci-Fi Sunday: Triple feature cult screening

Sci-Fi Sunday invites science fiction fans to settle into a full triple feature that explores the lasting influence of Alien across different eras of genre filmmaking. From wartime paranoia to 1980s exploitation and 1990s cyber-action, the program highlights how familiar ideas are reshaped over time.

Zone Troopers relocates sci-fi horror from deep space to World War II Europe. A group of soldiers enters an unknown zone where something inhuman lurks among forests and bunkers. The film focuses on atmosphere, isolation, and growing distrust in an environment as hostile as any spaceship.

Galaxy of Terror is an unapologetic example of early 1980s sci-fi excess. Responding to a distress signal on a deadly planet, a crew faces a series of fear-driven encounters that echo Alien while pushing shock value and pulp aesthetics to the forefront.

With Project Shadowchaser 3000, the inspiration shifts into a 1990s context. The alien creature is replaced by a relentless killing machine, and suspense is driven by tight spaces, technology, and inevitable confrontation in a low-budget cyber action setting.

Sci-Fi Sunday is about shared viewing, genre enthusiasm, and taking time to enjoy science fiction together – and as always, coffee is free.
