Raped and Impregnated by a Monster Back in the 80’s part 3: It Won't Die!

This is a very odd little set of circumstances, this is probably worth my taking me time to express and explore a little bit. The greatest number of hits on my blog quite clearly comes from people looking up the subject of women being raped and impregnated by a monster, often an alien. Because I reviewed films like Inseminoid, this came up and it is a daily flood of hits.
The nature of these hits is really somewhat surprising. I would have assumed that it was from lonely men looking for pornographic images of this kind. However, I found that many of these same people had also hit on this:

This is an academic essay by a feminist film critic on the topic. I am generally not a fan of theory, but I encourage the reader to check this essay out. She also writes about the film Insemenoid, although she calls it by its alternate release title, Horror Planet. I’m no post-structural feminist by any stretch of the imagination. I’m
At the very least I would say that this suggests that the audience is more sophisticated then I would have thought. It is beyond a casual pornographic consumption then, these people are actually digging into the gender theory and the William Wheaton weirdness on this. You start doing that you’re getting into the question of the nature of the topic at that point. It’s all over the world too that my blogs on the subject get hits.
I’m not a leftist feminist. Elsewhere on here I have stated I support Ron Paul but my principle objection to him is that I’d like to see Julian Assange dealt with as an enemy spy. However, I have a darker understanding of these films then the author of the feminist article has. I think films like Insemenoid are essentially rape fantasies, really. More then anything else that’s what they are. Hell, Nancy Garrido was into The Unborn- in The Unborn the gynecologist is really a geneticist. That’s only a slight variation on the rape and impregnated by a monster theme, and Nancy helped kidnap Jaycee Dugard for purposes of rape. Dugard wrote about it in A Stolen Life, her memoir.
I also mocked those films for their special effects and music. I laughed at Inseminoid. My friends and I make jokes about Xtro and Inseminoid. I don’t even think the film Xtro is a good film. Breeders is completely absurd, the acting and script are terrible. I think my image for the audience of these films was kind of a comical stereotype of the pervert in the trench coat mixed with the sci-fi geek, someone who does not leave their home and has hair coming out of their palms. If you can’t find humor in Inseminoid what film can you find humor in? The soundtrack is something like five notes on an early synth!
Since the topic will not die, I have included more video images from Insemenoid with this blog.


I’m in danger of being type cast as the guy who writes about Inseminoid. That’s something.
