    Completely original and enjoyable

    I love to see originality in films, and this film is fully of it – from the story line to the characters to the special effects.

    The actors perform well without 'cheesiness' which is often found in lower budget films, except for in places where 'cheese' has been used deliberately to add humour to the film – and the film certainly has some humorous moments.

    The special effects have been well thought out, and function well to add to the film's storyline. Although aimed at a more mature audience, if this film was ever watched by younger persons I am sure they would love the aliens as I used to love some of the characters from the BBCs Doctor Who series.

    I have only just come across this film even though it has been out for four years, but I think it's great, and have watched it more than a couple of times already. Whether you are into zombie flicks, Sci-Fi or are just looking for something that bit different to watch, check this one out.

    tongues in cheeks

    This movie had promised much and certainly delivered - a thoroughly enjoyable, fun film, which is well made and snappily delivered. It was humorous from the titles onwards, and I felt quite ashamed sitting laughing raucously for a lot of the film!

    However "Foiled" is far from an out and out comedy - it is more of a sci-fi spoof with touches of many popular films twisted into one. The Aliens, whilst being cute, appear genuinely dangerous, especially when their motives become known.

    The special effects and soundtrack are worthy of a mention also, and have been applied with an artistic hand, providing the finishing touches around the amusing story. Especially the dream sequences - which are very witty, and really add something.

    All in all, this is a film definitely worth seeing (if you can get hold of it!). And it doesn't take itself too seriously. I guarantee you'll laugh along and have a great time. See "Foiled". 10/10
