Strange Beings is a fascinating slice of 80s cinema that feels like a cosmic fever dream. Al Fry, the mystery man behind the camera, plays this very laid-back lecturer, almost like your eccentric uncle who just discovered the wonders of VHS. He’s got multiple decks running bizarre clips, stitched together in a surreal way. The pacing is loose, almost meandering, which adds to that dreamlike quality. The themes dive into the esoteric, touching on the unknown and what lies beyond our understanding. Practical effects are minimal, relying more on Fry’s engaging presence and the oddball visuals he presents. It’s definitely distinctive, a product of its time that feels like a lost artifact now. Perfect for late-night viewing with a curious mind.
