Explorer from Another World

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.

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......

First off, a massive, glitter-dusted shout-out to the nineteen brave souls who clearly poured their hearts, sacrificed their sanity (and maybe a few questionable substances) to present this 45 minutes bloody schlock.

Think wacky sitcom characters crash-landing on a B-movie set with over-the-top acting from the get-go that's grin-inducing for bad movie aficionados. It certainly was for me, and I ate it UP, cheering!

The effects are gloriously janky, and the plot points? Forget about 'em! We're talking peak "so bad it's good" territory, with moments like a tipsy local losing his bowling hand and a drunk hillbilly encountering the monster.

Basically, whether you'll dig this ultra-cheesy sci-fi/horror/comedy depends on how much glorious nonsense your eyeballs can handle. And trust me, my face was stuck in a goofy grin the whole darn time. If this sounds like your jam, then grab your cheapest snacks and your silliest pals, and prepare for a laugh riot! Also, check out Love God (1997), Red Scream Nosferatu (2009), Scalps (1983), Lord of the Dead (2000), Inbred (2011), and the legendary, slightly unhinged filmographies of Jason Impey, Norbert Moutier, Roger A. Fratter, Olaf Ittenbach, and Brendan Steere. Go forth and embrace the glorious trash!

An absolute blast! Explorer from Another World is a brilliant B-movie gem!!! Imagine today's Terrifier colliding head-on with '80s cult classics. It's silly, it's gory, but the kind of over-the-top, playful gore that fans of Evil Dead, chopping mall, Re-Animator etc.. will love. It's not taking itself too seriously all, with some funny moments, and that's exactly what makes it so fun. Just an all-round entertaining short film, actually wished it lasted a little longer. A must-watch for fans of retro horror and indie madness. Can't wait to see what they've got lined up next! Great job!!!! 9/10 all day!!!!

Oh, my, my, my. This is one fine indie film. I don't know where to begin heaping praise on this outstanding effort. Maybe the best thing I can say to start is: I wish they had made many more films like this in the last six dismal years of cinema mediocrity.

This is a story about... an "Explorer From Another World!" -orld -orld -orld. I added the echoes because just typing the title doesn't do this film justice. Okay, so this is what happens...

A bad alien lands on Earth in small-town Americana circa 1955. Sure, it was a simpler time, but it was also a heavily armed shoot-first-and-ask-questions-never time. Between the beginning and the end, several innocent townsfolk lose various parts of their bodies while a handful of plucky teenagers and Professor Farnsworth save the world! -orld -orld -orld. (Again, me with the echoes.)

So, if you want some 1950 sci-fi camp, roll up your Levi's, don your bobby socks, and - oh golly-gee - just watch this fantastic movie!
