Shadowzone (1990)
Nomination Year: 1998
SYNOPSIS: Government sleep experiments lead to an invasion of monsters from another dimension. Wouldn't it have been easier to just lay off the caffine?
- "Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"
Let's Up the Rating to "Double-D"
"Jenna's" bosoms heave gracefully in sleep. Also, we get a good shot of some male and female anatomy when Hickock observes the test.
- Stupidest-Looking Monster
Madame Pip
John Doe as "Madame Pip" looks like one of those dried-apple faces you get in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
Worst Science
Tuning into the Wrong Station
Sleep researchers use the brain as a radio tuner to break into other dimensions.
- Acting Appropriately Stupid
Pole in One!
At the end, the woman scientist goes right up to the dimensional rift, sticks a metal pole inside it, then turns her back on it. The pole comes out of it and (justly) skewers her.
