Alien Addiction

I honestly went in expecting it to be bad but it wasn't. Alot of it was pretty weird but overall it turned into a goofy casual story that just ended up being fun, nothing too serious. If your not into toilet humor than I guess you'll hate it but even if it was a little gross it ended up being a decent movie. Don't knock it till you try it.

I had virtually no idea what to expect from this 2018 movie when I sat down here late in 2020 to watch it. I had never even heard about the movie, nor did I know what it was about, aside from it being a comedy that involved aliens.

So I gave "Alien Addiction" a chance.

And it turns out that writer and director Shae Sterling had managed to churn out something rather unique and entertaining. If you enjoyed movies like "Shaun of the Dead" or "Lesbian Vampire Killers", then chances are that you must certainly also will like "Alien Addiction". Why? Well, because "Alien Addiction" is to the alien genre, what "Shaun of the Dead" was to the zombie genre, and "Lesbian Vampire Killers" was to the vampire genre.

So buckle up and prepare for a crash landing that will turn your face blue and craving that irresistible high...

I found "Alien Addiction" to be a funny movie, yet at the same time also have a storyline that managed to mix comedy and seriousness well enough together to make quite the batter. I will say that I was thoroughly entertained from start to end. Especially since the movie was rather outrageous and quite out there. Talk about stoner aliens!

The acting in the movie was good, and I must say that Jimi Jackson - playing Riko - really carried the movie phenomenally well with his performance. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in this 2018 movie, which is something I enjoy, as it is always nice to see new talents that aren't already associated with previously portrayed characters in other movies.

If you want a good laugh and enjoy a spaced out alien movie, then you most certainly have to sit down to watch "Alien Addiction". My rating of this movie crash lands on a six out of ten stars.

Took my friend's teenage son to view and we both enjoyed this movie from start to finish. He was cracking up all the way home. Name a favourite moment - no can do there were too many. I loved the aliens they were adorable, the characters lovable. Alien Addiction reminded me of times gone by and the total "boys humour" our group found hillarious - so i guess far too close to home and therefore relateable. Totally Kiwi and total escapism only negative for me it ended too soon. I want a copy of this movie in my home collection as it is one that I would return to again and again - a Kiwi Homegrown Feel Good movie! Buy NZ made and get out and see it now.

Sucked in by wanting to see what a New Zealand indi film was all about. The location is great, the slacker friends have personality, they do a lot of grab ass and weed and hooning about in their vehicles. What is not to like?

Well the aliens show up in a blaze of a meteor and find they get high from human Scat. Turds if you will. I at that point noped out and watched something else.

Raw and real as Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste", more bro' than Taika Waititi's "Boy", and up there with Kevin Smith's "Clerks" as a debut indie film. Jimi Jackson carries this. Massive co-star from Aotearoa/New Zealand landscapes. Director, DOP & screenwriter Shae Sterling has 50-plus great music vids to his name but this debut in feature film shows his dedication and talents.
