A modern take on the Frankenstein archetype story. Reason #1 to riff this movie: it stars Keanu Reeves, who I am convinced is a piece of 2x4 lumber dressed in human skin, doing his one-note method acting. Reason #2: certain gaps in logic appear in the film, such as how it takes exactly 17 days to clone a human as he or she appeared at the time the DNA sample was taken, but each progressive day accelerates the aging process. That's just one gap, but there are plenty others scattered throughout the movie. Reason #3: plenty of pauses between dialogue and quiet moments that are perfect for riff-insertion. Watch the movie and judge for yourselves.

Night Skies is supposed to be a true story based on the events of the Phoenix Lights in 1997. I can’t find any evidence this a true story, though.

It has pretty laughable acting from most of the cast, which includes Jason Connery (Sean Connery’s son).

Jason Connery crawls through alien ***** pointlessly for five minutes just to add an extra five minutes to the movie.

The CGI aliens look waaaaay different than the people wearing costumes. This is very noticeable during the last 5 minutes or so when they switch between close up shots and far away shots of the same two aliens.

The exploding cabin...

The story in general is dumb.

The best part of the movie is Michael Dorn’s cameo at the end!

Greetings! I have been a fan of yours since MST3K was on SciFi. Last time I made a suggestion it was for Miami Connection. Imagine my delight when you riffed it later that year!😁

Anyway, I think 13 Ghosts would be perfect for riffing. Of course I don't mean the remake with Tony Shaloub--which I didn't even realize WAS a remake! I caught it on Turner Classic Movies once during Halloween. It is just cheesy enough to be riffable, but not so awful that you can't bear to watch it. I loved it, and was actually interested in how it was going to end. The only thing it has in common with the remake is that there are 13 ghosts and the cast has to wear special glasses to see the aforementioned specters. I have found a trailer that I hope will show just how awesome it would be. Enjoy!

Howdy again, I suggested APE (1976 Korean) last time. Now presenting The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake (1959). Watched this last night and could not stop making comments. The film was released (by UA) the year before Columbia released "13 Ghosts" and you can see that Castle took a lot of his production ques and "old dark house" memes from this film. It starts with some hokey floating skull effects (al la 13 ghosts") and a great Amazonian headhunter with his mouth sewn shut. The detective in the film moves about 1.5x slower than the rest of the film (WFT?). Direction is fairly tight, but the (relatively) lush sets, flubs (boom mike shadow - plywood skull cabinet in marble & gilt tomb, direct questions asked but never answered and overlooked) make this a perfect target. The "comedy of threes" (and fives) abound. Not to mention that the antagonist is a two hundred year old witch doctor who sewed a white man's head on his native body (the horror). Anyway. a great old B movie to watch and an easy target for Riff/MYST3000. - Best Carl
