    X-Files Fans May Appreciate This

    For a no/low-budget flick, this was better than I was expecting. The basic premise is that "Sara" is an investigative reporter travelling out to the sticks (presumably, in the U.S., though this film was shot in Spain) to investigate unexplained phenomena. There she meets a ranger who warns her about bears in the area that have the habit of attacking humans. Of course, the bears are not the problem. Rather, the source of the mysteries is a semi-abandoned military installation where, it appears, some awful experiments had once taken place. While there are many of the expected clichés, there are some well-done scenes and the story, for the most part, holds together like an X-Files episode. My main complaint was the writing. Sara, played by Andrea Guasch, spends too much time in the last half as the damsel in distress. I thought that was a wasted opportunity, given the interesting (if familiar) role she ends up playing toward the end.

    Pretty terrible...

    The 2018 sci-fi movie "After the Lethargy" (aka "Alien Invasion") was, of course, a movie that I had never heard about prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2025. Truth be told, I harbored zero expectations to writer and director Marc Carreté's movie, but of course I opted to give it the benefit of the doubt. The movie's cover was actually interesting enough to make me stop up and take notice.

    First of all, the movie had a better production value than I had initially anticipated. So it wasn't the ultra low budget garbage that I had prepared myself for watching, and that certainly counted for something.

    The storyline in the movie was a scrambled affair that made very little coherent sense. And it was a struggle to keep feigning an interest in the mess that passed as being the movie's narrative.

    I wonder where the movie was supposed to take place, as the license plate on the police car reads "Republic of Somewhere". I kid you not.

    Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and the acting performances were actually fair.

    The CGI animated alien was pretty atrocious to look at. And it just ruined the movie, as it looked like something from a 1990s computer game that was discarded for being too fake even back then. A movie about aliens and alien abductions needs to have proper special effects, and "After the Lethargy" just didn't have that, and it worked against the overall enjoyment of the movie.

    My rating of writer and director Marc Carreté's 2018 movie lands on a very, very generous two out of ten stars.

    Overall this movie was pretty bad and not really worth your time unless there's nothing else on and you want to watch something really, really bad.

    Alien Invasion (2018) is a Spanish movie I recently watched on Tubi when I saw May would be it's last month available. The storyline focuses on a journalist who investigates a missing person at a water tower that appears to be an alien abduction. As she gets close enough to the circumstances to discover what happened and discovers it may not be an alien abduction and the aliens may not have gone anywhere. This movie is directed by Marc Carrete in his directorial debut and stars Joe Manjon (The Hustle), Lilliana Cabal (Red Lights) and Julius Cotter (Black Beach). The storyline for this is pretty funny and delivered in a non-serious manner that is cheesy and ridiculous at times. I did think the main Rangers voice was entertaining and Ed was a pretty good character. The CGI alien was absolutely awful. Like watching a video game character in a movie bad. The woman in the prison the main character runs into was also delivered so bad. Overall this movie was pretty bad and not really worth your time unless there's nothing else on and you want to watch something really, really bad. I'd score this a 3/10.
