Miracle Mile (1988) dir. Steve De Jarnatt
Why haven't more people heard of Miracle Mile? A clue may be that I first heard about it in a list of 10 recommended depressing movies. Yet while the film is certainly dark (nuclear apocalypse anybody?), I don't think that is necessarily the reason. It seems more likely that this is simply a case of limited distribution combined with a lack of critical exposure. Which sucks.
An indie Cloverfield minus the found footage conceit with giant monster substituted for impending nuclear destruction plus awesome Tangerine Dream score equals relatively unknown cult masterpiece. Check it out (if you can).
