You can see it in Grieco's eyes throughout the movie. "Is this what it's come to? Am I really doing this? Oh please God, let this be over soon!". And when the aliens arrive on the screen, you can't suppress the laughter anymore. They look like something from a 50's film. This is an embarrassment to all participants. I bet they wish they could delete their names from the movie's IMDB page. But they can't. They have to live with it. Poor sods.
I lasted an hour. I was curious to see how bad it could get. You can save yourself that hour.
I went in on this knowing it was gonna be bad, but not this bad. I wonder if I ever seen anything worse. Give it a big PASS if you want to see this.
Did a 5th grader write and direct this 103 minutes of garbage? Nope, they would've done a better job.
There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this mess of a film. If you want to get even with someone, make them watch this film. I'm giving it a very generous 2/10 all going to Robert LaSardo and Richard Grieco for being the only somewhat convincing actors. Writer and director Brandon Slagle clearly failed in directing the rest of his cast - as well as this entire film and its screenplay. The dialogue was the dumbest I've heard in a while e.g. "you're my father... what's up dad?" How did any of the 123 producers (yes, you read that number right) decide this film was good enough to release it to the public? Yep, sure will be a winner for that Razzie "worst film of the year" Award.

Douglas Tait's acting ability is better than what he did here, rubbish performance, along with several other cast member. I bet that Robert LaSardo wasn't happy to be in this movie, he kept the movie watchable. WTF is it with SWAT shooting at aliens and unloading clip after clip into their bodies, shoot them in the head, that was frustrating to watch. Anyway, a once off movie experience you may wish you didn't have.
Confused on the topic and aliens scene is totally hilarious and low end visual effect. For aliens theme, I expect more exciting but this one totally boring. It's a huge issue that didn't meet audience appetite. No thank you ......
