Explorer from Another World

This low budget film was seemingly made with a cast that had absolutely no experience, in fact, I get the impression that they were possibly neighbors of Woody Edwards.

Some acting was better than others, of course, but, overall this is a very entertaining movie, I enjoyed every minute of it, and I wished it was a longer run. I'm looking forward to Mr. Edwards next project. In fact, I have a treatment & screenplay for him.

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!

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......

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!

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.
