Please dont watch this "movie". Its terrible and not even the funny terrible....(except for a split-second) where a giant shouts "i dont want to grow anymore" then falls off a cliff with the worse possible special effects known to man. Stop reading this review, enjoy your-life without EVER see-ing this movie...... if it can even be called that. As its made from lots of really bad movies. If you get lots of bad movies and put them into a seires of clips without a story-line.... well you get my drift!!! 1/10......just
First of all, I think that this movie should not be taken too seriously. That's the only way to like it. It's so bad it's good, with some very funny stuff. Besides, I really loved the clips from old sci fi films. That alone made the whole movie very amusing and enjoyable to watch.
Oh God! I wish I could communicate how bad this film is - but just having watched this film I somehow seem to have lost the use of the English language and the will to live.
No matter how bad a movie is (and I have watched a LOT of bad movies recently) there is always some redeeming feature: a horrendously ill-written line, an idea that falls flat on its face, a moment of unintentional humour - something. There's always a little something that lifts it for a moment and leaves you with a warm nugget of discovery - something to hold on to as the rest of the mindless drivel flickers past your eyeballs... this movie's only redeeming feature is that it is just 78 minutes long.
It is crap. Pure unmitigated, grade Z, unadulterated, high-fibre, total sh*t from the hopelessly confused start to the pathetically flat non-ending.
I wish I could vote it a zero. No! I wish I could vote it MINUS 10!
I want my 78 minutes back!

Okay, when I got this movie (on Danish VHS for less than $2), I was expecting a low-budget cheesy movie, which would be good for a laugh or two.. but what I actually got was a muddled incomprehensible mess of a "movie", just above an hour in running-time (fortunately!), consisting mainly of clips from such "classics" as "Plan 9 From Outer Space", "The Blob" and - my personal favorite - "Reptilicus".. but why even bother to disguise this as a movie? Why not go all out and a make a 90-minute clip-show from the old classics?? Instead, we have these stupid characters, looking like something take straight from a random Troma-production, which have the potential to be very funny, but are all wasted as random movie-goers who sit and eat popcorn, annoy each other, and are one by one assimilated by these alien "bug-creatures", who plan on taking over the world by making people watch crappy movies, so they are distracted and can easily be taken over, "Invasion of the Body-Snatchers"-style.
Anyways, because of the constant inter-cutting between new footage and old clips, the viewer can't really understand what's actually going on, and is left with a bunch of random scenes, sloppily put together, only creating few giggles here and there, but overall leaves a "what-the-hell-is-going-on"-feeling, which isn't helped by the many different characters either.
Highlights: A random biker goes into the cinema and asks the alien with an elephant-trunk to give him some popcorn. He then proceeds to fetch 10 huge packs. Hardy-har-har.
1/10, only because 0/10 is not an option, and because some of the old clips were good.

This movie was shot over a couple weeks at the Warner Grand in San Pedro Ca. Getting to dress up as one of the aliens was fun also getting painted green was fun. Getting to know the cast was the best part. And the director was wonderful. The worst part was seem to a screening of this and about halfway through looking at my watch to see how much longer it would last and I was in it!
