    7The_Dead_See

    Really fun late 80's adventure horror - just three decades too late.

    As I look through the IMDb scores for Extraterrestrial, I have a theory that the lower ones are coming from children of the 90's and aughts - those who have grown up to expect a particular bleak atmosphere from alien abduction movies such as that set by efforts like 'Dark Skies' or 'The Fourth Kind'.

    I suspect the reviews giving it the higher scores are from kids who grew up in (or are just fans of) the older school 'adventure' horrors that became popular in the late 80's. Movies like The Lost Boys, Waxwork, Evil Dead 2, Night of the Creeps, Return of the Living Dead 2, Creepozoids, The Blob remake etc. - you know the ilk, movies whose subject matters varied wildly yet they always had the same sort of vibe - a fast-paced, popcorn-entertainment 'adventure' feeling.

    That, I feel, is what the Vicious Brothers were purposefully going for in Extraterrestrial. Although they mixed in a generous dollop of the 90's cabin in the woods type characters and the 2000's abduction movie clichés, it's the late 80's vibe that rings clear throughout. If Extraterrestrial had been made 25-30 years ago, it would likely have starred the Two Corey's, or perhaps Zach Galligan and Brinke Stephens. The cop would have been Tom Atkins or Lance Henriksen; and the crazy Michael Ironside character would have been Dick Miller... or perhaps Michael Ironside, come to think of it.

    Bottom line is, Extraterrestrial clearly has a primary intent of being fun rather than scary. There's a few creepy moments - most memorably the skeletal body of a dead alien vanishing into the murky waters of a swimming pool - and a few more serious turns towards the end, but overall, it's more of an adventure/survival flick than a psychological/terror flick. If we still had drive-ins, it would be playing in them right now to crowds of frisky teens instead of on Netflix.

    Check your expectations before you turn it on. You're not going to get scared, or grossed out, or made to think too hard, or put on the edge of your seat with tension... but if willing, you are going to have a lot of fun. 7/10.

    Another Evil Alien Horror

    The film takes us to the common young characters in a trip to the woods. Aliens who traveled the deep space with incredible technology and still have no clothes and just wanted to terrorize people. If they were always angry about humans, there were no humans.

    The film has some nice pictures and scenes, but the characters are horrible and kind of empty, nothing build in a sense of creating the need to know more, everything is predictable. Sounds from the same sample pack of Transformers.

    I liked the image of the film, some visuals, light, places, but the story, the characters and the sound effects were just wrong to me, in the way of they may have created something deeper. I don't know what else to say here, because I don't understand how they can create such beautiful images and destroy that with a horrible story, and fail realizing that the story sucks. Or maybe they knew...

    Nice alien movie, much better then the haters want to make us believe.

    Well what to say about this one? I have to laugh again when I see the ratings or read the reviews on IMDb. A lot of haters, and I seriously don't get why. I start wondering if my taste of movies is that bad because most of the time when people hate it I love it. But then again I'm not the only weirdo because my wife liked it as well. Okay the actors might not be the best ones you will ever see, even though I don't think they gave us a bad performance. On the contrary I enjoyed the acting. But what I enjoyed the most was the story. Very entertaining to watch, everything I search for when I want to watch a movie about aliens. Suspense, evil aliens, conspiracy theories, all ingredients were there to make it a nice movie. And that's what it was to me, a nice movie. I will watch it again in the future. To all the haters I can only say, take a chill pill.

    I may have taken it too personal but hated who died

    I felt the director missed an opportunity of the right protagonist to lead the way. Furthermore I hated the ending. Literally

    Better than expected

    I have to confess I came to this film with jaded expectations. I have seen so many alien abduction films that have been utter rubbish I have become rather cynical.

    I was then pleasantly, if not, overwhelmingly surprised by Extraterrestrials. Lets start by saying this film is by no means exceptional in any way but what it does, it does well enough to be genuinely entertaining.

    The plot is standard fare, aliens encounter young adults in woods, with the usual results. There are some creepy alien scares, combined with enough action to keep you entertained plus a sad love story ending. The special effects are not spectacular but they are certainly not bad either.

    The acting is competent too and includes a few well known faces, such as veteran actor Michael Ironside.

    Six out of ten from me.

      After they shoot the first alien and walk outside to see where he went, you can see the windows of the cabin boarded up behind them, but it's much later in the film when they actually put the boards on the cabin's windows.
