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.

An absolute blast! Explorer from Another World is a brilliant B-movie gem!!! Imagine today's Terrifier colliding head-on with '80s cult classics. It's silly, it's gory, but the kind of over-the-top, playful gore that fans of Evil Dead, chopping mall, Re-Animator etc.. will love. It's not taking itself too seriously all, with some funny moments, and that's exactly what makes it so fun. Just an all-round entertaining short film, actually wished it lasted a little longer. A must-watch for fans of retro horror and indie madness. Can't wait to see what they've got lined up next! Great job!!!! 9/10 all day!!!!
Saw the thumbnail on Amazon Prime and that was enough to hit watch.
Sat for the next 40 odd minutes enthralled, with a big grin and letting loose several chuckles :-)
WOW, what a great movie.
Dialogue was brilliant, especially the stuff said by the director/drunk in the cells. Everyone played their part exactly as they would have been played in years gone by. I loved the setting, reminded me of Mars Attacks. Got a huge kick out of the effects.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement. What the film makers achieved with their budget is amazing, puts me in mind of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste.

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......
