Evil Aliens

Evil Aliens tells the story of a group of disreputable news unit who sets out to cover a bizarre story of alien abduction on an isolated island off the coast of Wales.

If you're into movies that just don't let up on incredibly weird scenes, this is the movie for you. You get to see some sick stuff and also some funny stuff, usually combined. You want to see a human having intercourse with an alien? You can see it here. You want to see a violent anal probe? You can see it here.

This is an independent film by Jake West, a guy who seems to have won countless number of awards for many low-budget films. The movie is handled in quite a professional manner and makes good use of obviously fake CGI. Somehow, he pulls it off so it doesn't feel so uninvited.

As the movie progresses, your face will change into many different shapes. Some of the expressions may be... "cool", "what the hell?" and "ummm, I'm going to look over here... now". All in good ways. The movies takes so many good ideas (however messed up they may be) to the extreme, they don't hold back on anything. It's good to see something refreshingly new to the screen.

Capped off with a stunningly entertaining ending, which is not common with these low-budget films. They usually seem to waste all of their money on the first half of the movie that they run out of money to complete their "great" ending. This is not the case with Evil Aliens as it is the best part of the movie.

One of the best low-budget films I've seen in a long time. Keep an eye and ear out for all of the major film references, you should find some in there. It's very consistent, and should keep you there for the full 90 minutes.

Good for a laugh with your friends.

I'm sure many will adore this and I think I am just too old for a bunch of guys and gals running around like juveniles, swearing a lot to show they are not, and endeavouring to squirt as much gooey stuff about themselves as possible. Maybe this whole anal thing never did appeal but clearly it has its fans and I cannot deny that this is well made. The effects are in the main very good, the film moves along pretty well (even if to nowhere in particular) and the action direction is excellent. There were things I liked like the combined harvester, the banana skin, the girls with guns and some of the gritty detail, but a lot was spoiled by too little attention to performance particulars. There is a fine scene where one sexy pair triumph spectacularly over a group of aliens, using all manner of farmyard implements found in the barn. At the end, however, with a stunning close up of the dishevelled female dripping blood, she is heard to utter, 'That was really awesome man' about as believably as my Gran. There is no doubt for all my reservations that Mr West is assured of a successful film career - he has a good eye, a sense of pace and a sense of humour. Maybe I'll just have to stick to giallo and Japanese horror for my thrills.

i thought this film was one of the best films i have seen in ages... it was great..and to be honest i don't like horrors or spooky films and certainly not alien films.. but i had to watch this as my sister is one of the main characters.. but surprisingly i found myself really enjoying it... evil aliens had me laughing.. it had me jumping out of my seat oh and it definitely had me squirming in my seat at all the blood and guts.. fabulous!!!. oh and my sister well she was fabulous.. and all the other actors were too... there was some great special effects in the film. which i thought was great considering they were on a low budget. but it just goes to show. as long as you have the right type of producer like Jake west you can do anything.....i am very proud of my lickle sister.. and all the other actors i thought did a great job too....this is a film not to be missed

Go into this expecting a low-budget hammy stomp through the horror/sci-fi field and you won't be disappointed. Some have raised objection to the comparisons with Jacksons early work, but I can't think of anything closer in spirit with which to compare. Stylisticaly different, but with the same sense of adventure and desire to make a damn fine piece of entertainment. Evil Aliens has also been compared unfavourably to Shaun of the Dead. In this case, they are very different films. Given a choice of which to watch again, I'd have to choose Evil Aliens. I laughed more, it takes itself less seriously and it's more unique. Not that the material is original, but the execution is done with such vision and belief that the directors enthusiasm becomes contagious. Some won't like it, because at points it comes off as totally b-movie cheap. Others will see this as a plus-point. I've not seen a better horror comedy in many years! Thought there is a lot of blood thrown around and some fine effects at times, it's really not about the gore. It's the humour of the script, not the production values that shine through. That aside, there's some damn fine direction in evidence that shines mainly by being inventive but unobtrusive. Not for movie snobs, but for people who know the beauty of energetic clever trash cinema.

The title gives it all away, really. They're aliens. They're evil. With this in mind, should you really expect high art? Go into this with the right frame of mind and you'll thoroughly enjoy it. If you've seen Jake West's previous feature Razor Blade Smile, you'll enjoy this, although Evil Aliens is miles ahead in production value and acting.

I'm not going to discuss the plot beyond this: Aliens are abducting Welsh sheep farmers and performing exactly the sort of experiments you'd expect. Enter the gorgeous Emily Booth as the presenter of a dodgy satellite TV show on alien abductions. Add some inbred farmers, fantastically sadistic aliens, surprisingly good gore effects and a lot of laughs and you have Evil Aliens. A perfect after the pub movie, and a shot in the arm if you're sick of the oh-so-serious po-faced horror movies of today.

In a nutshell - Peter Jackson's successor is here - Evil Aliens has everything which made Braindead (DeadAlive) fantastic and more.
