Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

keckman-11449 It's a shame that most viewers seem to have missed the boat on this movie. I think the whole intent was to EMBRACE, even celebrate the B-movie phenomenon. I fully expected it to be a stereotypical, low-budget alien movie . . . And yes, it WAS. Complete with cliche elements & characters: alien abductions; UFO crash; government cover-ups; cabin-in-the-woods; flying saucers; "The Greys" . . . the ditzy blonde; the cowardly idiot (boy, did they fix HIS little red wagon!); the pot-growing, paranoid, conspiracy-nut Vietnam vet, the heroic surviving (so you think!) young couple . . . . This movie employed every worn-out alien cliche out there, but with some dark humor & unexpected twists. Folks, my take on it was that the cliches & stereotypes were absolutely intentional. I rather enjoyed the homage & nods to the scores of past alien movies (& even to "The Smoking Man" from X-Files). Admittedly, many times throughout the film I thought, "Yup, here we go - I know what comes next." But then the darkly funny twists pulled me back in. While some of you found the ending disturbing, I think it was brilliant. It led viewers to the edge of an expected typical conclusion, with a feigned "happily-ever-after" sappy scene that had my eyes rolling . . . . Until the film kept rolling, & delivered its unexpected coup-de-gras. If you don't appreciate dark humor - then this one's not for you. If you're hoping for a deep plot, well-developed characters, a sweet, happy ending, or a never-before-seen portrayal of aliens & UFOs - then this one definitely isn't for you. But I found it to be delightfully entertaining. -OldFartAlienMovieBuff

a_baron If you go down to the woods tonight you'll find...E.T. And he doesn't want to go home. Not only that, he's angry, but if you will shoot his co-pilot, what else can you expect? If you find this film confusing, book up on the conspiracy garbage about Area 51. In reality, the most bizarre alien ever to land at Roswell was John Denver, and he was a distinctly friendly one.Seriously, this film misses in so many ways, even if you do spot the cultural reference to "The X-Files" towards the end - Smoking Man. And "Spirit In The Sky" should definitely not have appeared on the soundtrack, not even the original version, much less the Elton John cover. Far more thematic would have been his own "I've Seen The Saucers".

prisoner-7 I really wanted to enjoy this movie but the level of ridiculousness was over the top and the movie just couldn't gain its footing. From characters not breaking windows to get into places when running for their lives, to believing that boarding up windows will stop aliens from outer space, to using flashlights in the dark when trying to hide from aliens. I really could make a nearly endless list for this movie; it was almost impressive. This movie left me more frustrated than scared... sigh...

SnoopyStyle Sheriff Murphy (Gil Bellows) of Echo Lake investigates the mysterious disappearance of Nancy McPherson from a seeming alien abduction as well as other strange occurrences. April (Brittany Allen) photographs the family cabin for her mother which is being sold. Her boyfriend Kyle (Freddie Stroma) joins her along with annoying friend Seth (Jesse Moss), Melanie (Melanie Papalia), and Lex (Anja Savcic). Melanie and April stumble upon their neighbor Travis (Michael Ironside)'s marijuana grow operation. Travis is a vet conspiracy nut. An alien spacecraft crashes in the woods.This movie seems stuck in B-movie territory. It's definitely set up as such and never gets beyond that. The young actors are not that charismatic. Bellows and Ironside are the two named actors but they are mostly support. Ironside goes a little wacky but nothing is actually funny. The script is lacking. There are some functional special effects which border on respectable. However, there is something missing from the directions and camera work. This is not scary nor particularly thrilling. None of it is that good but it's not the worst thing in the world.
