Shot over the course of multiple weekends in October 2017, Kennedy drew inspiration from films as diverse as \u003ci\u003eThe Blob\u003c\/i\u003e (1958), \u003ci\u003eHorrors of Spider Island\u003c\/i\u003e (1960), \u003ci\u003eThe Green Slime\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), \u003ci\u003eThe Taking of Pelham One Two Three\u003c\/i\u003e (1974) and, of course, the plunging necklines of Meyer's \u003ci\u003eFaster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!\u003c\/i\u003e Joshua Kennedy has been inspired by vintage sci-fi and horror all his life. He made his first movie, \u003ci\u003eIt Came From The Bathroom\u003c\/i\u003e, at the age of five. By the time he turned sixteen, his breakout hit \u003ci\u003eThe Attack of the Octopus People\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) had been released on DVD. With storylines that reference the classics and ingenious homegrown special effects, Joshua's films appear to be from another era, and are guaranteed to bring a smile to old-school fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSLIMOIDS (2018):\u003c\/b\u003e After his sister is killed, Dan Stewart finds himself the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
