Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A good college-age comedy horror with many ideas taken from movies such as 'Species'. Not really very gory and I think it would only really scare teenagers. Had it not been a comedy I would've had quite a few criticisms about this movie. It starts of showing college life as being all sex drugs and rock and roll. The girls of the fraternity house are beautiful, ravenous sex sluts and as the movie progresses we find out this is because they are aliens trying to save their race from extinction. In order to do this they must mate with human men but must perfect their technique so they do not kill them in the process.Towards the end there were a few cheesy emotional scenes that weren't really necessary for this type of movie, though I would still recommend it if you're wanting a laugh and a story that's easy to follow.

Upon first viewing of this movie, you may automatically think Species rip-off. Even with the clearly lower budget it offers so much more and actually trys to be different from the average made for TV Sci-Fi weekly movie by combining a mixture of comedy, horror, and of course science fiction. The movie takes place on a college campus in Canada! Where we follow a group of students who have an American Pie type of vibe to them, by busting out jokes and repeatedly have discussions about losing their virginity and performing other sexual acts. And that's where the hot blonde sorority babes come in...and that's where the Species comparisons may come in.Yes, just like the Species series, in order for this hot blonde undercover "ALIEN" race to survive they must reproduce with the male human virgin freshmen. We do get some actual time to meet the characters and their stereotypes, and you do get a feel for them. It's clear to see who the lead players are and even though you know who's gonna go, you still root for them like they have a chance, something you don't see too often.The hot blondes in their natural form do resemble the Species creatures quite a bit, but I guess they go by the standard alien description, hairless body, big eyes, human but almost bug like. The awesome Kim Poirier actually plays one of them "Constance". She gets quite a bit of screen time while not actually being the lead, you might also recognize her from the Dawn of the Dead remake, she's got quite a memorable scene in that one! When we do see these reptilian aliens, sometimes it is real effects that do look fairly good. But for most of the action sequences the creatures are CGI but even though it's easy to tell, it still looks good since they move so fast.This movie also mixes in a bit of cop drama with the good cop bad cop showdown, although unnecessary it still seems to work in the entire B-Movie atmosphere of the rest of the movie. So we follow our lead college male "Luke" played by Corey Sevier as he must prove to the others that Aliens do exist and they're taking over the campus before it's too late and his friends give in to sexual peer pressure.The movie builds up quite nice to an inevitable showdown between the lead male and entire Alien species. We get some nice action sequences and with all the time spent actually getting to know the characters you don't know whether or not to root or boo for these aliens creatures.In the end, you get the expected victory with an unexpected twist. The first time I watched this movie it somehow slipped past me, but it actually seems to work quite well. I'm not gonna spoil it for you just in case you haven't seen this but keep an eye out for it when you do! This is definitely a movie you can have fun with if you don't take it too seriously, think of The Faculty + Species and a Lil' bit of American Pie and you got a surprisingly enjoyable movie. Of course it finishes off with room for a sequel and of course a sequel was made, how could they not? If you get a chance give this one a watch, even though you may have seen this type of story before, it's more fun then you may think.7.5/10

Well, that's sure what this drek looks like, or at least that seems to have been the inspiration for it.All those beautiful blonde sorority-type (aka cheerleaders) 'ice queen' chicks are every high school nerd's fantasy and nemesis. They cannot be so beautiful inside because they will not take the time to see what great guys the nerds are, and instead hang all over the imbecile jocks. So they must be some sort of hideous alien inside, selfish and only able to suck out the life of their mates once sex is finished. You don't need to study Freud, or even Dr Phil, to see this premise.Nerds are at the same time attracted to and afraid of cheerleader types, but they don't realize that this is true about them also in the minds of the cheerleaders. The easier route is to hang onto the non-threatening jock rather than take a chance with the mentally interesting nerd who might someday be a wacko serial killer. And most nerd-types don't help by presenting themselves as a bit wacky too.Other than that obvious psychological drama, the film itself has some really stupid plot lines and awful, overstated performances from secondary characters. The leads were pretty good, working with what they had.The surprise ending was only a surprise because all of the events that foreshadowed it pointed the opposite way. In fact, if you take the ending as believable, then there's several prior sequences that make no sense at all and the film suffers for it. It's a matter of having a surprise ending just for the sake of having a surprise, and it is totally out of context with the rest of the film.

Like other Canadian horror movies, this one too, is rather mild and benevolent and opposed to the recent wave of mean-spirited American productions. The story involves female aliens disguised as "hot" college girls looking to procreate. I use quotations marks because the supposedly super hot sorority chicks aren't particularly attractive. Some even look well past college age. With one exception: Kim Poirier who absolutely steals the show. What an adorable and sexy woman. She just sets the screen on fire. Why haven't we seen more of her, she can easily carry a movie and deserves more work. The movie has a soft look and there's quite a bit of focus on relationships and friendships, unlike ordinary horror flicks that are more like loosely connected gore segments. Overall the tone is refreshing and enjoyable. The script is standard with one exception, the surprise twist at the end, which I didn't expect at all, given that everything seemed standard. Movies like these should really be offered also in unrated editions, so there's more nudity and sexual situations, given the theme of this movie. I'm looking forward to seeing part II.
