Kids vs. Aliens

For an movie obviously on a low budget, it was fun. Had an old school 80s Peter Jackson feel. It was so stupid it was fun. If you take it that way you might enjoy and have a laugh at the same time. Take it for what it is, a bit of fun, some cool cheap action. Old school SciFi/horror in HD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Cool way for some young actors to get a crack and have a blast. Cheesy props and weapons, fun looking aliens, terrible story........gotta love it. Plenty of old score gore, blood and guts. Oh and the over the top school hunk who is a bully really steals the show 🤣🤣🤣. But the winner of the show is the ending.....cliff hanger of epic proportions.

The 2022 sci-fi horror movie "Kids vs Aliens" from writers John Davies and Jason Eisener turned out to be quite an enjoyable surprise. I had initially thought it was a family movie, given the movie's title. And as I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, then I didn't know what I was in for.

Writers John Davies and Jason Eisener put together a very entertaining and enjoyable script and storyline for "Kids vs Aliens". And I have to say that I was genuinely entertained from the very beginning of the movie and right up to the end. So thumbs up to the writers on that accomplishment.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but they had put together a good cast for the movie. The young actors and actresses carried the movie quite well with their performances.

The character gallery in the movie was fairly okay, and the Billy character, as played by Calem MacDonald, was really a dislikable character, which was a credit to the writing skills of John Davies and Jason Eisener.

Visually then "Kids vs Aliens" is also quite good. The movie starts out fairly vaguely with out of focus glimpses of the aliens, then slowly and gradually revealing more and more of the extraterrestrial entities. It was a nice way of doing it and it worked, so director Jason Eisener managed to do quite well. The special effects in "Kids vs Aliens" were good, and the aliens were rather impressive, well aside from their prolonged fingers, which looked very impractical.

Don't get discouraged by the movie's title, because "Kids vs Aliens" is a rather enjoyable and entertaining movie. It is definitely a movie that I will warmly recommend.

My rating of "Kids vs Aliens" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "Kids vs. Aliens" (TV-MA - 2022 - AMC+) Genre: Sci-Fi/Alien

My Score: 4.8 Cast=2 Acting=4 Plot=6 Ending=5 Story=4 F/X=5 Pace=6 Tech=7 Alien=2 Intense=7

A teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing two warring siblings to band together to survive the night.

"There's dinos dead ahead...let's teach em how to die." I didn't realize this was a spin-off of V/H/S/2...that's pretty cool. Unfortunately, the movie wasn't cool at all for me. There were some things I liked but this movie should have been lit on fire and put on my front porch. It might land in the 'so bad it's good' category, but I can't recommend it...it was just bad for me.

Define whos the goal of audienhces to this freaking halloween kids horror movie, because it on the verge of adult horror gory content that may make mayhem around the saturday night dinner in front of the tv next weekend.

Ita an invasion from space vs crazy amjerican wrestling kid warriors and a bunch of punks that raid the childrens house for a halloween party. What most of them dont know is the alien prescence...

its a b-movie, its light and noise, lots of screaming kids, and completely absent of the adult part of the human race. Its merely filmed in dark smoky conditions, far to much closeup filming of faces, but the costumes and gory effects a durabel enough, even for a grumpy old man.

Will there be a sequel, i hope so, cause they almost say so. A small recommend.

Firstly I would like to start this review by saying under normal circumstances this would be the kind of B movie I would thoroughly enjoy and I had been looking forward to seeing this as I was a fan of the directors work. Sadly it turns out to be a pretty poor effort all round. The acting is good from all the young cast but the story is non existent and the fx and production values are bargain basement. The aliens look terrible and the faces just look like a Halloween mask with no moveable features. Gore wise it's very tame and apart from the odd moment it doesn't deliver much of anything. I like to support small indi horror but even at 75 mins it's a chore to get through.
