Carolina's Calling

So three shady scientists fire up a blue box of energy, which will make all other forms of energy obsolete, and they don't even put on safety goggles. Stars antonio sabato as marty haas. Something or someone is calling marty to the east coast, but he's not sure why. We spend a lot of time on that idea, which they borrowed from close encounters. The script needs major work and most of the acting is less than stellar. I wondered if it was aimed at a younger crowd, but there is swearing, violence, even talk of bull genitals, so i guess it's not meant for kids! Later on, we revisit the energy invention; apparently, the explosion from the energy box knocked an alien's space ship out of the sky, right into the carolinas. An hour in, we have a plot! Marty agrees to help the alien. No details needed, we'll just get a welder and do it. So silly. I made it through to the end, but it took a lot of effort. Directed by michael saquella.

This isn't even as good as a 12 year olds YouTube video made for forty bucks. The acting and special effects are lame and pathetic. Don't waste your time with this dumpster fire.

Yes it is a low budget indie pic and thoughts some of the comedy was interesting but the two female characters seem to be overly animated and over acting with awful southern accents. The over acting seems intentional but the lead male played the role fairly straight. I found it very annoying. There was little chemistry between the characters.

The movie spent a lot of time supposedly trying to do character development between the scenes that actually developed the plot. It came across as padding.

If the movie had the same comedic tone as toward the end with the alien, it would have been a lot better but the script/plot did not have it.

Very very very very very very low budget. However, it was actually quite endearing. A very clean movie; which is hard to find these days.

The only thing that was about distracting was the fact that Antonio Sabato Junior and Stacey Dash were in this movie. I kept thinking... Are they taking this seriously ???

Lol Fun anyhow.

The last two negative reviews seem a little over the top!!

Obviously Carolina's Calling is a lower budget, Indie film, nothing more, nothing less. With that in mind, it's a cute enough film, you'll get a few laughs!!
