Acrostar Films are back with It Came From Somewhere - a satirical spoof of the 1950's sci fi and horror epics. Drawing inspiration from Mystery Science Theater 3000, Teenagers from Outer Space to be exact, Acrostar Films went to work making a family friendly film audiences are bound to enjoy. As Acrostar says, "Created in the style of Ed Wood and Roger Corman, It Came from Somewhere is a new, original feature length horror film that looks like it was created in the 1950s. Delivered in black & white, 4x3 aspect ratio, made to look dated. Of course there is a creature, a space ship, aliens and many terrified characters, perhaps you can be one of them!"

Catch It Came From Somewhere on DVD this week.
