GamerTab That was an excellent one.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Neil Welch You know those TV programmes which make out they are serious investigations into the paranormal. Well, this movie features such a film crew who are investigating reports of aliens - they know it's all nonsense, so does their audience and, oh dear, they just happen to have encountered actual aliens, and they're not friendly. All this happens in the depths of the Welsh countryside.This film has a lot going for it, particularly a knowing screenplay which is constantly winking at its audience, and lots of gory mayhem for those who are fans of such things. It also manages to make a very small budget look merely small.Unfortunately, its very creditable attempt to make a sci-fi horror comedy with goals which exceed its apparent ability to achieve them is fatally compromised by some of the ropiest acting I have seen in a long while. The lovely and personable Emily Booth is head and shoulders better than everyone else and, to be perfectly frank, she's pretty dire, too.

Samiam3 What could possibly sound dumber than a title like Evil Aliens. The answer is...maybe nothing. For what this film is trying to do, it's not half bad actually. Set up very much like Shawn of the Dead, but I prefer to think of Evil Aliens as being another addition to that category of Z-movie sci-fi/comedies, that are not only deliberately cheesy, but deliberately fake looking. I can't think of any great examples at the moment, other than Killer Clowns from Outer Space.Odd as it may sound, it actually requires skill to make something like this. The key is not to over do it. While the first half hour of Evil Aliens is fine (even laugh out loud), it gets carried away quickly and in the last half of the film, the ratio of goofiness to humour starts to get less even. Both need to be consistent for the film to be good. In the end Evil Aliens is moderately good.A British film crew wants to do an interview with a farm girl, who claims that she was abducted and even impregnated by alien life. The crew takes a mockumentary approach to the whole idea at first (thinking it will get more viewers this way), before long however they find themselves filming the real thing, and then fighting it for their lives.Evil Aliens' sense of humour is pretty cynical towards the media. The protagonists are the kind of morons that you might be tempted to root against. One of the problems I had with Shawn of the Dead was that I didn't care much for Simon Pegg and his buddy, despite their copious one-liners. As far as video productions go, this one is surprisingly good. The way it is shot and edited, it looks more like film than a home video movie. I didn't even mind that the CG space craft looks like a cartoon. Though the creatures are supposed to look fake, I can't help but think that they could've been made to look more authentic. Honestly, they look like muscle boys in Storm trooper helmets, and their movements are way too human. When they run they look like Barry Pepper in Battlefield Earth. Perhaps the best way to approach Evil Aliens is to see it as pure satire of Ed Wood, and some of his more successful contemporaries.However you choose to see it, you may get a kick out of Evil Aliens, but other films have done this sort of thing better, and not simply because they had more money.

accountcrapper It is what it is and I'm glad off it. It's a funny movie with some proper viz style humour. Nothing is serious, it's all tongue in cheek and played for a laugh. The characters while not in-depth portraits are still likable... the stoner sound op, the coke head media ditz, the over top drama queen, the crazy bachelor farmers who live together, only speak Welsh and love (literally) their cattle. Most of the actors are recognizable if you watch a lot of cheap UK satellite TV. A great appearance from Norman Lovett (Holly from Red Dwarf) as a hard pressed peddler of sleazy satellite TV programs.Some of the special FX are pretty good. They could easily have made another movie. It could have been another po-faced bore typical of the sci-fi channel but instead it was something different, original and funny. A good one for a few lads with some beers, a bit of smoke and a pizza or two.

Bublenutz I usually check reviews prior to renting films, I had read a couple reviews on Evil Aliens so I thought I was in store for a zombie movie, boy was I wrong, dead wrong.Evil Aliens tells the story of Michelle Fox, a sleazy reporter hell bent on getting the perfect story. After Michelle gets a lead that a pregnant girl claims to be bearing an alien child, she packs up her crew and heads to the remote island to get the perfect story. Suddenly Michelle finds herself in deliverance country and that's about the time when the movie gets bloody, and I mean bloody! Evil Aliens is a mi-sh mash of sci-fi, horror and comedy and an pays an exuberant amount of homage to Dead Alive, Bad Taste, Evil Dead, Night of the Creeps, there's so many I can't name them all. This homage routine works well in the beginning but steadily becomes played out. Yes we get it; Jake West likes horror movies. The over indulgence of blood, especially sprayed in the face of the character becomes numbing, this effect is done so frequently, that after the 15th time it becomes annoying, seriously 15th times if not more.Jake West does manage to do a great job with the special effects, makeup, character development and sets, the detail inside of the alien's ship is phenomenal and the alien's costumes are realistic as it gets. It balances the sci-fi and horror genre well and throws a mix of comedic overtones which makes it a fun fast paced film. Unfortunately Evil Aliens is far from perfect; the acting is rigid and in some cases the computer animation is ridiculous, but the biggest problem is originality. Evil Aliens borrows so much from its predecessors, it just becomes predictable. However any horror or sci-fi fan (Sci-fi fan as in Aliens, Life Force, etc. not Star Trek or Dune) can overlook these slight imperfections and enjoy. I even found a pretty fun drinking game online, so be sure to get some brew and a couple friends together and check out Evil Aliens, it might even be better when you're drunk?
