Alien Country

At first I thought this was a mockbuster, but 'Alien Country' is not, and neither is it trying to be another 'Alien' wannabe. This is a very different alien movie and a lot of fun, actually.

Jimmy (K. C. Clyde) is a dirt car racer. One night he finds a mysterious suitcase inside a dirt car. When him and his 'girlfriend' Everly (Renny Grames) opens the case, they find an unusual crystal. As the crystal starts to glow, a porthole to another planet opens, and unknowingly creatures from this world enters our world.

As the creatures start killing people, Johnny and Everly team up with a friendly alien to stop the bad aliens, but someone else is also after the crystal...

Being only 96 minutes long, 'Alien Country' is fast-paced and exciting. It is mostly a comedy, so off course the killings are also in a very lighthearted manner. The film features cool photography, cinematography and visuals, and the editing was also very good.

With likeable characters, a dashing cop in the form of Officer Kirk (played by the hunky Trey Warner), and lots of action, adventure and planet hopping, this was a lot of fun. There's also an interesting back story regarding Jimmy's dad. I really enjoyed this.

Alien Country made me lol many, many times with just a fantastic sense of humor right up my alley. But it didn't stop there, the scifi was actually intriguing and kept me engaged the whole ride. Acting, dialogue and characters were all very solid. I didn't wince at any of it - something I can't say for most of the big-budget blockbusters. The special effects were even top-notch. Thanks for a fun ride!

I'm trying real hard to come up with some negatives. Perhaps the flow of the movie was just a little off? Maybe I just missed what they were going for, but a few short scenes felt spliced in and unnecessary.

Excellent movie! Looking forward to more from these creators.

What a fun ride! I really wasn't expecting too much from this indie film, but I was thoroughly entertained! Kudos to. K. C. Clyde and Renny Grames who were delightful as star-crossed lovers caught in a crazy situation! They were so believable in their roles that I just got caught up in the whole story! The stellar supporting cast was just amazing/ From drop-in funny spots to the other regulars, every casting choice was spot on, It was a hit for me and ti will be for you, too! One point though. This is a funny move, but not a screwball comedy. The humor is organic to the plot! Well done! What else can I say? Rent or buy Alien Country now! You won't regret it!

So I ran across this by accident. The trailers reminded me of other small-town alien invasion films like "Alien Opponent" and gave it a spin.

The plot requires you to take certain things on faith (it gets a bit muddled when talking about opening and closing the portals) but the dialog is witty and has that small-town charm nailed down pretty well.

I don't think anyone in the film you will recognize, but they certainly do their best and genuinely seem to be having fun with the plot.

Given the probably modest budget, the SFX/CGI was quite well done. The film was shot in Utah and the stunning scenery certainly lends an air of authenticity to the small-town feel.

It's difficult to judge how skilled the director/ writing cast is given a singular offering (this film) but I'm going to keep an eye on his output in the future.

Overall, if you want a fun lighthearted (and witty!) take on alien invasions, give this charming flick a watch.

No idea what made me watch it. I mean it's filmed nicely, nice locations, some action and it may seam like it's a professional production when you see a few scenes. Well, it's not. Everything is terrible. Monotonic unnatural meaningless and unrealistic dialog, nothing makes sense, I am not even sure if it attempts to be funny, I don't really get how, there are scenes where there is no ambient sound at all and just dialog in pretty much complete silence which feels really weird and boring. It's weird how it can be so bad and visually look OK like a normal movie from a few first glances. I mean not a normal good movie, but at least something you could watch when you have nothing else better to do. It looked like that to me. Well, it's not like that. Unwatchable at all. It fooled me.

I though some more about it and well, some things like cinematography are good. That's what confuses me. Everything else is terrible, but maybe very few aspects that I am not even prepared to look for or even consider in a serious way are good and it's really weird, because the gap between those very few aspects and everything else is quite huge the way I see it and it's just not something I have ever seen.
