Xenophobia

If the title of this movie didn't turn you off, just wait until you being watching it. Reminds me of a student thesis film school project. To be honest, I gave it one star, just because I know how much work and time everyone who works on a movie puts into it. Its up to the director, cinematographer and editor to make everything work. One star, for how much I enjoyed it. One star for being able to create a movie that's an hour long and actually convince the cast and crew they wouldn't be wasting their time. For a total of 3 Stars. It was obvious the second the movie title popped up at the beginning, this was going to be a scary ride, not because its a scary movie, I am speaking metaphorically, as in, this is going to be a painful watch. I am certain there are probably some Alien Conspiracy movie fans who will love this B-film, and it will probably make it someday on to a film site like Roku, Pop Corn, etc. Maybe even on to a middle of the night antenna T.V. slot, for people with insomnia to watch. It certainly ranks up their with many to The Asylum movies. So lets rap this up: Predictable, poorly scripted, nonsensical, quality-phobic, with cheesy aliens.

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.

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.

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.
