Explorer from Another World

At 41 minutes run time, just about right. It was the little touches that really set this apart. It was a Woody Edwards film (Ed Wood, anyone?) The flying saucers were saucers. Sputnik was circling the globe. There was stilted dialogue, and the professor was a perfect stereotype. Atrocious wig, always puffing on his pipe as he thought or considered action. And of course they had the town drunk in the cell after he reported what he saw. And a two person sheriff's office. The deaths were accompanied by copious amounts of spurting blood. This could have been lifted right out of the 1960's B-movie can. This movie knew what it wanted to be and nailed it.

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.

It was a fun movie! Not great by any means but who doesn't want a campy, wacky, cheesy comedic horror flick on a Friday night? Grab your beer(s) load up the popcorn and take this wild crazy ride into 1960's sci-fi fantasy. Albeit the acting was a little raw and the wigs were out there. Looking forward to a sequel!!

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......

I thought I would give it a shot, 45 minutes,I can do that. They did a lot with a little. The effects were good, the story was not bad, the ending was good as well. The only thing I didn't like about it was did they need to make everybody stupid? I guess they did. Great little sci-fi horror comedy.

It looked a lot like the old movie "Invaders from Mars" but that's OK.
