I don't know about you folks, but I've always been intrigued by the idea of other universes. In fact, I think it's easier in some ways to believe that there could be more than a single level of existence to reality because such a fundamental concept might offer a unified theory to things like sasquatch, UFOs, cryptids, ghosts, and the whole spectrum of paranormal phenomenon. If there's another layer -- or even multiple layers -- to consciousness, then who's to say there isn't a means with which to swing a door wide open, allowing for us to go through or even for them -- whatever they may be -- to cross into our world?
Well, this whole premise looks to be the driving force behind a little something-something that's launching both theatrical and digitally just this week as writer, director, and actor Graham Hughes unleashes his little opus Hostile Dimensions onto unsuspecting audiences. I've received a notice of its impending release along with a few of the particulars which I'll be doing the dutiful copy-and-paste below; and I'm encouraging readers of SciFiHistory.Net to check out the trailer. Knowing what a great many of you think of 'found footage flicks' (yes, I realize it may not be to everyone's liking), I'd still suggest this one might be worth the effort as it appears to have garnered a bit of positive praise on the film festival circuit.
Besides: I happen to be pretty fond of the found footage format, especially when the storytellers actually do something interesting with it. May not be fancy. May not be cutting edge. But if it tweaks the imagination in even a small way, I usually dig them. So if I can get my hands on a streaming link, then I'll be giving this one a review. Keep your eyes peeled, kiddies.
In the meantime, you know what to do.
