Parchis was a Spanish music group of the eighties, they played teen-pop being really good and funny.

The music group jumped to the big screen with this low budget movie. It´s quite a bad movie that will never win an award, but the adventures of these kids are really funny and charming.

You will watch it with a smile on your face, enjoying and dancing every song in the movie. Spanish actor Manuel Alexandre is really wonderful as an old school teacher.

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and it left me a very strange feeling. The parents of a small boy, Tobi, discover that a couple of angel wings are growing on his sun.

The fantastic storyline is developed into a quite sad and melodramatic script that tries to avoid all the characteristics of the fantastic genre, showing the reality of everyday life. The whole thing works quite well delivering a strange, uncomfortable atmosphere. I remember it as a sad film, specially the end scene.

A bunch of robots from outer space come to earth, landing on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. They come from the galaxy Epsilon Eridani so, obviously, they use dead human corpses to go unnoticed on earth.

Surprisingly all of these alien robots look like the typical Swedish ladies that came to Spain in the sixties to get a suntanned and show their bikinis.

The main characters, a blonde guy and his girlfriend will try to stop the invasion. Spanish outstanding cult-actor Jose Maria Tasso appears in a small role. Add also some drops of enjoyable and colorful pop touches; including cameo of a Spanish pop music group of the sixties.

"S.O.S Invasion" is far beyond everything. With dialogues such as "We are robots... we work with a complex system of transistors... or something like that!", the audience will never feel indifferent. In fact, you will laugh with the dialogues and you will laugh more with the characters. The weird direction, edition and art direction are most of the time unbelieveable, opening new horizons in film narration.

Dazzling and really wonderful film that must be understood from a different point of view in film making. A jewel.
