Depredadores

Entering untrodden B-movie territory when in 1992 independent filmmaker Philip J. Cook got legendary Israeli producer Menahem Golan to executive produce his sophomore outing Invader. With a screenplay far too ambitious for its budgetary means, the result became an undefinable genre mixture. An alien electronic intelligence is transforming the folks from a military airbase into mindless slaves. Enter Frank McCall (Hans Bachmann), a tabloid reporter who gets entangled in the story of a lifetime. Invader is one of the strangest alien conspiracy films ever concocted, as the ridiculous plot doesn't even try to take itself seriously. Six words for the movie's finale: Giant philosophizing megalomaniac stop motion robot. Dare we say this is a misunderstood masterpiece?
