This collection presents a trio of sci-fi/horror classics mining the fear of close encounters of the third kind. In the extremely low-budget ZONTAR: THE THING FROM VENUS (1966)--a remake of Roger Corman's IT CONQUERED THE WORLD--a well-meaning scientist aids a stranded alien and soon discovers the visitor's nefarious plans for world domination. From the director of TRON comes the underrated, BLADE RUNNER-like SLIPSTREAM (1989), in which a renegade bounty hunter kidnaps a criminal android on a futuristic earth ravaged by a high velocity jetstream. And in THE SCI-FIGHTERS (1996), a Boston cop is assigned the task of tracking down a serial rapist who's infecting his victims with a deadly extraterrestrial virus designed to prepare the planet for an alien takeover.
