Xenophobia

Am I the only person out of the ten people who watched it that caught a really funny goof. The college student was studying for her doctors in "astrology". Bwahahahaha. Dumb movie. Laughable special effects. Worse acting than on infomercials.

Technically it looks pretty good. The effects are damned good for a low budget movie and I liked the music and the sound was very well done. I wish the stories had been better written. The first story just goes around and around in circles. "I have it! NO, I have it! You have it!" You'll understand when you watch it. It was pretty long feeling and I was screaming "Can we move this along?"

The other stories were also a bit hit and miss. As I said, pretty well made but the scripts needed to be refined. Anthologies are all the rage these days and I did enjoy this one a bit. Just keep in mind it is low budget. It's better than many anthologies out there, but just needed to be tighter.

A horror movie based on the fear of something alien causing us harm should not have Xenophobia as a title, putting it simply, it makes for a xenophobic message.

I picked up a copy of this one from a local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago with a few others and finally gave It a watch, and I gotta say it's by far the best horror movie from the dollar store that I've seen so far.

This is not a good movie, I'll put it bluntly. But there is enough going on throughout to keep your attention and to entertain the right people. Things don't slog much is the main thing, and it doesn't get too boring ever. The practical effects aren't fantastic, but there are a lot of them and they're charming enough. Plenty of cool aliens and monsters.

As a review has already mentioned, the title and plot add up to a seemingly kind of Xenophobic message. Which is a bit off putting, but as someone who ingests nothing but low budget films constantly I'm sort of used to it.

I mean seriously? The director needs to be banned from ever making another film. Who gave this guy money to do this and why? The film starts bad, doesn't get better, and ends worse. My advice, just don't. Go to the park and watch squirrels. It's more entertaining.
