Info

Nathaniel Pickman Wingate has opened a gateway to another dimension using equations and equipment in his basement laboratory. His wife, Nancy, wants him to get ready for his own birthday party. He wants his son Sam to help him. Sam is up in his room looking at pictures of Jasmine on his computer, and a poster of her arrives which he puts in his closet. Although it is Nathan's birthday, the family is enthralled by a visit from Cousin Desmon, who is now a count in Liechtenstein. While Sam is away getting equipment for his father with his friend Alex, his father gets sucked into the other dimension, and a creature from the parallel universe escapes, pursued by another. The first temporarily traps the second with its spit, attacks Desmon, and becomes a duplicate, absorning his thoughts from the unconscious body. The other manages to get free, and unable to find a human to mimic, finds the poster of Jasmine...

Kamillions Audience Reviews

Bereamic Awesome Movie
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
rzajac Kamillions is a great film for practicing your skills at studying a film for general narrative flaws. It's a welter of poor scenario and character development work, tepid writing, and fine-to-merely-OK acting held together in a pudding of pretty good technical production work (e.g., good editing, OK music/sound).It's a disconnected series of comic/spooky/horror scenarios loosely derived from an opening, "kick-off" premise involving a portal to another world, with invaders coming from that world.I've seen a few films that fill out the same contours, failing on the same grounds, and with even better production values (e.g., "John Dies at the End"), so there appears to be a strange market that directs funding to produce this kind of low-budget drek. Its one saving grace is that it gives budding film folks an opportunity to exercise and refine their chops.By-the-by, I dug seeing Hal Robins, and love hearing his voice.
deaddeerguts this movie is AMAZING!! Kamillions teeters so delicately between genres, and at times i am frightened by how good it is. horror, romance, social satire and just enough comic relief to give this "frightfest" the perfect balance. countless plot twists, a stellar cast, and elaborate, mind-blowing special effects make this movie absolutely a MUST SEE. this movie will keep you guessing and guessing until you don't know which way is up. the soundtrack is a sparse and shifting tempest of synth swells, backed up by a cavalcade of oldies hits. think, the Mist meets the Fly meets Gremlins meets any other awesome movie you've ever seen! TEN!!!
lyrch Kamillions is that rare film that truly offers something for the film fan of every ilk. We have scares that will make you jump right out of your seat, side-splitting laughs, unflinching eroticism, and awe inspiring FX work! The plot of this film is rather similar to that of the horror blockbuster the Mist, or possibly the Thing. A scientist is experimenting with interdimensional...something. As a result, the doctor is sucked into his interdimensional...thing, and the Kamillions are unleashed on a group of unsuspecting houseguests as well as the scientist's own family! The events that transpire from this point on are almost too incredible to be believed! The box art said that the film reminded one reviewer of Cronenberg's the Fly, but I personally think that this is the superior film by far. Say what you want about Cronenberg's masterpiece of body-horror, I don't recall a religious fanatic being killed by his own penis in THAT picture! I've never heard of any of the people involved with the production of this masterpiece, but it is a damn shame that none of them rose to the heights of stardom that this film should have elevated them to. I am giving this film 10 out of a possible 10 stars because it is as close to cinematic perfection as you are likely to see. Catch Kamillions, before they catch you!
Scott Andrew Hutchins Unknown Christopher Gasti gives a tour-de-force performance in a dual role as practically perfect Count Desmon and a creature from another dimension who has copied his body. It would be a spoiler to give away what makes his performance so brilliant, but it also helps make the film rewarding for multiple viewings. Although it contains some mildly raunchy humor (in about three scenes), there is almost no violence in this film (which was only screened theatrically in South Amercian and Arabian countries, and a few others, Ning-Ping Chan tells me, and thus never submitted for rating), and it is mostly suitable for families, particularly considering much of the PG-13 fare parents take their kids to these days. The film contains references to Lovecraft (as in Miskatonic University) and Hubbard (Larry, the hypocritical preacher and Nathan's best friend, preaches "Dynagenics," and promises God to make it cheaper after his great sin). It also deals effectively and humourously with extradimensional creatures adapting to human bodies and American culture, sometimes in a retro-fifties style. The film also has a beutiful new age score by Kent H. Randolph, and only once, for Desmon, does the synth based ensemble create a pale imitation of an orchestra, nor is it merely synthesizer droning. Although the characters sometimes seem stereotypical, they are often allowed to show multifaceted personalities. The kids, of course, are the ones who know what's going on, like _The Night of the Hunter_ with teenagers. The film never takes itself too seriously, but the naturalness of the dialogue, the flowing camera movements, and simply-decorated mansion make Nathan's fiftieth birthday party preparation seem like a real birthday party preparation. Nothing is ever presented as very sinister, save for the possibility of an earth -shattering explosion, and with good reason. It is a shame the video release of this film was limited, making it hard to find and impossible to order. It's a delightful bit of normalcy affecting the genuine humdrumness of a supposedly-exciting family gathering.
