As enduring as accounts of alien contact at places like Area 51 in Nevada or Roswell, New Mexico, remain in the popular imagination, few films have been able to sustain a memorably cinematic premise based solely on scattered rumors about random encounters with bug-eyed extraterrestrials. Lacking even a clear connection to this established branch of UFO folklore however, Man Underground doesn’t succeed any better at establishing evidence of human-alien contact. In fact, those expecting the usual sci-fi trappings like high-tech spacecraft and menacing ETs will likely be disappointed by filmmakers Michael Borowiec and Sam Marine’s far more terrestrial concerns.

Here are some upcoming movies that might be hard to track down, but are well worth the effort of doing so...
Den of Geek, last month, attended the London FrightFest film festival to indulge in five days of genre films and social anxiety (our favourites).
You can only see so much of the line-up, due to the boring constraints of time, physics and human biology, but we saw a lot of films, a few of which we really need to tip you off about. Partly because you won’t want to miss them when they do get a general release in the UK, but also because they’re probably going to need your support.
Here are six upcoming genre films to keep an eye out for.

Aliens are here. That’s the message Willem Koda (George Basil) would have us believe — the 360 viewers clicking on his YouTube channel’s posts. He’s an ex-geologist who rode a government contract until the unexplainable left him with nothing but emotional and psychological scarring, the type that broke him in pieces and irreversibly ended his career and marriage. Aliens were the culprits, the secretive work he engaged in deep beneath Nevada in underground tunnels an experience never to leave his consciousness. Life and love became secondary with a quest to expose the truth taking focus. He devoted his life to this mission, speaking at events to push his rhetoric onto the public and helping someone with similar viewpoints create a machine to eventually prove everything they believed was true.

Co-directors Michael Borowiec & Sam Marine will screen their unsettling feature debut, Man Underground, at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. Led by Flaked’s George Basil, Man Underground centers on a paranoid conspiracy theorist who decides directing a film about his alien contact experiences could lend them more credence with skeptics. Elements of sci-fi, paranoid thrillers and a quirky sensibility collide to create what looks to be a refreshingly unique tone. And based on some early praise out of a previous festival appearance at Cinequest, it’s one worth looking out for. Synopsis: In a small town in upstate NY, Willem Koda, a retired geologist and alien conspiracy theorist, struggles to find an audience for his controversial beliefs. After befriending Flossie, a local waitress and aspiring...
