Explorer from Another World

Oh, my, my, my. This is one fine indie film. I don't know where to begin heaping praise on this outstanding effort. Maybe the best thing I can say to start is: I wish they had made many more films like this in the last six dismal years of cinema mediocrity.

This is a story about... an "Explorer From Another World!" -orld -orld -orld. I added the echoes because just typing the title doesn't do this film justice. Okay, so this is what happens...

A bad alien lands on Earth in small-town Americana circa 1955. Sure, it was a simpler time, but it was also a heavily armed shoot-first-and-ask-questions-never time. Between the beginning and the end, several innocent townsfolk lose various parts of their bodies while a handful of plucky teenagers and Professor Farnsworth save the world! -orld -orld -orld. (Again, me with the echoes.)

So, if you want some 1950 sci-fi camp, roll up your Levi's, don your bobby socks, and - oh golly-gee - just watch this fantastic movie!

An absolute blast! Explorer from Another World is a brilliant B-movie gem!!! Imagine today's Terrifier colliding head-on with '80s cult classics. It's silly, it's gory, but the kind of over-the-top, playful gore that fans of Evil Dead, chopping mall, Re-Animator etc.. will love. It's not taking itself too seriously all, with some funny moments, and that's exactly what makes it so fun. Just an all-round entertaining short film, actually wished it lasted a little longer. A must-watch for fans of retro horror and indie madness. Can't wait to see what they've got lined up next! Great job!!!! 9/10 all day!!!!

This low budget film was seemingly made with a cast that had absolutely no experience, in fact, I get the impression that they were possibly neighbors of Woody Edwards.

Some acting was better than others, of course, but, overall this is a very entertaining movie, I enjoyed every minute of it, and I wished it was a longer run. I'm looking forward to Mr. Edwards next project. In fact, I have a treatment & screenplay for him.

Imagine if Wes Anderson, Roger Coreman and Tim Burton made a short budget Science fiction movie.

Cue "Explorer from Another World", a parody of every Sci-Fi B-Movie you ever saw and many you didn't.

It is a total blast from start to finish and with a run time of just forty four and a bit minutes, it just flys by.

It's gloriously hammy, beautiful to look at, has a great period soundtrack, it's full of humour, the cast ensemble are a total hoot, it's wildly gory and an absolute grin fest.

Pound for Pound more entertaining than many of the big money movies I've seen for the last few years on a chicken feed budget. And yet, it's professional and polished in every filming way.

If this is really Woody Edwards first film, then he's a genius in the making.

Do yourself a favour and watch it, go on, you know you want to......

Saw the thumbnail on Amazon Prime and that was enough to hit watch.

Sat for the next 40 odd minutes enthralled, with a big grin and letting loose several chuckles :-)

WOW, what a great movie.

Dialogue was brilliant, especially the stuff said by the director/drunk in the cells. Everyone played their part exactly as they would have been played in years gone by. I loved the setting, reminded me of Mars Attacks. Got a huge kick out of the effects.

To say I'm impressed is an understatement. What the film makers achieved with their budget is amazing, puts me in mind of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste.
