Oh wow, I LOVE sci fi. I must see if these are available at my local library.
ReplyDeleteRymdinvasion i Lappland? Isn´t that like the worst turkey of all time? Can not believe that is any kind of classic... When I was a kid, there was a Norwegian television series called "Blindpassasjer" (= the stowaway passenger) about a space ship where a "biomat" (= an artificial human) replaces one of the crew, but which one? It was truly scary then, and everyone who saw it remembers it fondly, but I´m not sure it would be very impressive today.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that most of them are from the USSR and Denmark. Haven't seen any of them. I wonder if I can track them down.
ReplyDeletebleubeard and elizabeth, i love science fiction, too, but i'm having trouble finding these.
ReplyDeleteviktoria, i liked that one! lol i saw terror in the midnight sun here: http://divers-and-sundry.blogspot.com/2008/10/terror-in-midnight-sun.html that tv series sounds interesting.
tbm, yes, i'd have expected something french or german. i often suspect list-makers of aiming for obscure works i can't possibly have heard of. ;)
