Bison

About This Movie

Alright, so 'Bison' is this quirky little flick from 1989. It wanders into the family and fantasy realms, and if you’re into oddball stories, it’s got a unique charm. You’ve got Hans, a ten-year-old kid who befriends a guy claiming to be an extra-terrestrial, which makes for some wild scenes. The pacing is a bit uneven but it really captures that sense of wonder and innocence, you know? The practical effects might not be cutting edge, but they have a certain homemade quality that fits the film's vibe. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s a genuine heart to the characters that shines through, making it stand out in a sea of 80s family films. It’s definitely one of those you have to see to get.
