On Oct. 14th, 1991, a videotape fell out of the sky and made a large crater in Bloomington, Minnesota. We at Amazing Schlock were fortunate enough to come into possession of that tape in 1998, and we made The Movie From the Future, a documentary about the "space-tape" and its amazing contents. The tape had apparently fallen back in time through a black hole, and on it was a movie called Daddy, I Love an Alien. The film is a fascinating look at species discrimination, robot civil rights, the war between humanity and various aliens, and, of course, love. The Movie From the Future consists of large clips of Daddy, I Love an Alien as well as informative interviews with the scientists who have made the study of the "space-tape" their life's work, as well as with those who believe that the film is a clever hoax perpetrated by desperate filmmakers. Is the film a hoax? If it's not, what can it teach us? Watch the film and decide for yourself.
