Useless Humans

However, this kind of kookie funny film. So while all this other stuff is going on around us, this little is nice escape to a fun movie. Expect not much and you'll be pleasantly surprised

This is not too bad movie, although the characters tend to just stand and stare instead of actually trying to fight the alien. There are some actually funny moments and jokes which is more than most comedies nowadays have. The acting is good enough and the cheap visual effects didn't bother me. The music was too loud at points but other than that the sounds were ok.

Well, I was entertained by what director Stephen Ohl managed to dish out with this 2020 movie titled "Useless Humans".

Sure, this wasn't an award-winning movie in any sense, but it just had that certain quality to it. In fact, I found it to be a very worthy contender for being to the alien invader genre, what "Shaun of the Dead" was to the zombie genre and "Lesbian Vampire Killers" was to the vampire genre. In other words, an enjoyable movie that manages to be witty and fun enough to not take itself overly serious, but still remaining a good addition to the genre.

The storyline is very straight forward, but still manages to be entertaining and fun. And the twist towards the end was definitely a great addition to the movie. I really liked that part.

It was partly the storyline and partly the cast that made the movie work, and they definitely had a great cast ensemble put together for the movie, with the likes of Josh Zuckerman, Rushi Kota, Davida Williams and Luke Youngblood in the lead roles. Now, I wasn't particularly familiar with these actors and actresses, but they really carried the movie quite well.

The alien was so-so. I mean, it worked out well enough, but it could have been better if done differently. But hey, it worked okay with the rest of the movie, so that was good.

My rating of "Useless Humans" is a six out of ten stars. I was positively surprised by the outcome of this movie, and I was entertained from start to end. Definitely well worth sitting down to watch.

Considering this was made on a shoestring budget I think they did really well. The acting wasn't bad, the script was okay and it made me laugh in places., especially the alien, whose costume was probably bought from a Halloween store. Well done.

It'ol never be the most amazing film you've ever seen but if you fancy watching something that doesn't require all your brain cells to function then here it is. I admit that me and my one brain cell rather enjoyed it...... on reflection.
