Instant Favorite.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Pod Peopl, a.k.a extraterrestrial visitors, gives a new approach to sci-fi movies, and sets the stage for movies like E.T. In this movie, we have a young boy, who finds an alien egg. When a creature hatches from the egg, the friendship between the two grow. We come to enjoy Trumpey, the alien who the boy befriends, as he is a kind and curious character, and fun to watch. But at the same time, another alien identical to Trumpey is terrorizing the family, and a group of campers, killing them off one by one. The boy refuses to accept that his new friend is the monster responsible. So he and Trumpey run off, before Trumpey can be killed. When the boy is attacked by the other alien, Trumpey comes to his rescue, and convinces his fellow monster to let the boy try to help him. But when the boys uncle attacks them both, the other alien kills him, only to be shot and killed himself. It is then that the boy realizes that there is nothing he can do to protect Trumpey, so he sends him off into the woods. The ending is very touching, because we get to hear the sadness in the boys voice because he has to say goodbye to his new friend. We also know exactly what Trumpey is thinking, even without dialog. The movie provides a new approach to alien films, and i'm forced to think of E.T. while I watch it, because of their similarities. Overall it's a good movie, but not amazing.

I just finished watching The Extraterrestrial Visitors from director Juan Piquer Simon who made the great slasher flick Pieces. I got this little obscure sci-fi film from a Mill Creek Entertainment box set i just purchased, titled, Sci-Fi Invasion 50 movie pack....which by the way makes it worth every penny for b-movie film buffs on a budget..lol...sometimes the only way to get to see these movies...and cheaply. Anyways, i popped the disc into the DVD player and as soon as i saw the director's name appear on the credits, i knew i was in for a treat...I loved the horror film Pieces, one of my all time favorites! Now, Juan Piquer Simon delves into the sci-fi genre this time, and despite all the bad reviews on here, i actually enjoyed this little film. Now, it is a low budget b-movie! do not expect a Hollywood blockbuster here. If you like that kind of stuff great! it is bad, bad dubbing and laughable at times, but i really liked the beginning with the eerie atmosphere....really starts off like a horror film. it has a bad alien that kills people and a good alien...this is more like a kids movie at that point, but only briefly as it always continues with the killer alien...So, i liked the atmosphere throughout the whole film...not a bad chiller. Overall, i had a lot of fun!

One thing I noticed about this cheese wedge was that it tried to look like it was taking place in North America even though it was made in Spain: 1- A portrait of George Washington hangs on the wall in the main setting. 2- A picture of Ronald Reagan hangs on the wall in the cabin where the hunter got killed. 3- A 'Sprite'sticker is stuck on the wall of the main setting. 4- One of the soon-to-be-victims comments that if the TV weren't out, at least they'd be able to watch 'Dallas' 5-There's one or two American flags hanging around. 6- The whole thing is basically a ripoff of E.T., an American film. There may be more,I'm not sure.I guess they wanted to make it look more American to attract a bigger audience. I don't think it happened. Thank goodness I watched this with MST3K.I don't think I would've made it without them. I'm sure I'd hate it without them.

I love bad movies... but only when they are sooo bad they are entertaining. This movie just stinks. The "alien" is so goofy looking that it's hard to ever pretend that it's anything real. To set the mood, they use so much "atmosphere" (fog) it looks like the woods are on fire most of the time. When the alien kills someone, it appears that all the 4 foot tall hairy thing has to do is touch them and they die. I think they filmed this 'project' over about a 10 month period because the scenery goes from snow to green grass in the same day. They use stop-frame animation to show the wonderful powers of the creature and it makes you feel like you are in a "Gumby" movie. Just plain bad.
