Grrl Power #1401 - Gateway to space madness (Patreon)

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Oh, you wanted examples of gravity slasher movies? Shear, rated Glip-Glorp 5 for overabundant teenage necking, sexual situations and violence. Crush, rated Glip-Glorp 7 for inveterate exposure of secondary sexual organs, profanity, sexual situations, and violence. The Spagettifier. The granddaddy of the genre, rated Glip-Glorp 9 for unrelenting nudity, shower scenes, girl aliens of one species making out with girl aliens of another species (and not the species you'd think), sexual situations, profanity, gore, sexual situations involving gore... like, two piles of gore make out, violence, blasphemy, and questionable financial advice. It's a classic. 

Event Horizon is the consummate "Hyperspace is/Wormholes lead to hell," but of course there's also Doom, Half-Life... which isn't hell, but those portals still lead to a dimension full of jerks. Obviously Warhammer 40K. I don't know how it works in Warhammer Zero K. I'm going to assume that wizards using teleport spells have a 5% chance of bringing demons along with them. I actually don't know anything about Warhammer Fantasy. I assume they're connected, like, the dark elves in WhF worship Slaanesh or Tzeentch instead of Lolth. I could google it, but if I don't then it allows someone break out their esoteric Warhammer knowledge and a soapbox.

Then there's edge cases like the Natural Selection asymmetrical multiplayer mod for Half-Life. It's less "warpdrive is the devil" and more "deep space has mysterious fungus." I think. Or maybe there is some sort of hyperdrive that attracts evil extra dimensional spores like a bug zapper minus the zapper. I'm not sure. I played it 2 or 3 times.

Oh, and I guess The Expanse, where defeating distance attracts evil shadow Pacmen. Spoilers. Look, if you haven't watched The Expanse, it's baaaasically the best Sci-Fi thing out there. I think it just edges out Stargate SG-1 and DS9, which are my other tippy-top faves.

Oh, I just thought of another one, From Beyond. One of Jeffery Combs's earlier movies. Just after Reanimator, I think. Anyway, From Beyond is based on an H.P. Lovecraft book, and on that note, I suppose any movies with summoning circles, whether they're drawn in lamb's blood or are created by a bunch of janky electronics are all in the same... over-genre. Of course, the whole point of summoning pentagrams is collect calls to hell, so that doesn't count in the whole "Who could have foreseen this outcome" category.
