The Atomic Space Bug

A great movie in one of my favourite genres, Parisen really captures the Ed Wood feel. I was pleased to see Conrad Brooks although the whole cast made the feel of the movie classic. In particular, I thought the space bug costume was great for the movie and some of the scenes were particular inventive. I can't wait to see more!

ATOMIC SPACE BUG Available at Indieflix.com Starring : Conrad Brooks. This film will surprise ,Fans of all those Creature Features before! I really like the fact they pay tribute to their idols in all phases of production. The opening was like all those warnings from William Castle, "You are going to be scared----Just listen to my directions on how to survive ATOMI-VISION !" ASB comes off like a MST30000 version of the 'Original' THING !,You have an unbeatable alien and people trying everything to stop it. Notable performances from this 'Robert Forster'- ish Sheriff and Conrad Brooks with a bunch of lines and defined character.

Movie is very funny. It reminded me of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" which also stars Conrad Brooks, who I might add is absolutely brilliant. Jonathan M. Parisen is the Ed Wood of the 21st century. I recommend for everyone to watch for a good laugh.

If you took the DNA of Irwin Allen and mixed it with Ed Wood's, you would end up with Jonathan Parisen. "Space Bug" is a superb example of Parisen's filmaking style: one that mixes the suspense and horror of Hitchcock with the humor of Mel Brooks. "Space Bug" takes you back to the days when films were meant to entertain you in more ways than one. Parisen is one of the few up-and-coming young filmakers today who have a true love and appreciation of this classic style of cinema.

Conrad Brooks cracks me up. He takes cornball to its most respectable. This film surprised me with some really legitimate acting and a well thought out plot. The Voice overs were hysterical (i.e. Intro of the town). When that big guy stands up in the beginning...I guess you'll have to see it. Nice job. Not a bad Saturday afternoon flick. Not too heavy. It was fun.
