This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreIt's a shame that most viewers seem to have missed the boat on this movie. I think the whole intent was to EMBRACE, even celebrate the B-movie phenomenon. I fully expected it to be a stereotypical, low-budget alien movie . . . And yes, it WAS. Complete with cliche elements & characters: alien abductions; UFO crash; government cover-ups; cabin-in-the-woods; flying saucers; "The Greys" . . . the ditzy blonde; the cowardly idiot (boy, did they fix HIS little red wagon!); the pot-growing, paranoid, conspiracy-nut Vietnam vet, the heroic surviving (so you think!) young couple . . . . This movie employed every worn-out alien cliche out there, but with some dark humor & unexpected twists. Folks, my take on it was that the cliches & stereotypes were absolutely intentional. I rather enjoyed the homage & nods to the scores of past alien movies (& even to "The Smoking Man" from X-Files). Admittedly, many times throughout the film I thought, "Yup, here we go - I know what comes next." But then the darkly funny twists pulled me back in. While some of you found the ending disturbing, I think it was brilliant. It led viewers to the edge of an expected typical conclusion, with a feigned "happily-ever-after" sappy scene that had my eyes rolling . . . . Until the film kept rolling, & delivered its unexpected coup-de-gras. If you don't appreciate dark humor - then this one's not for you. If you're hoping for a deep plot, well-developed characters, a sweet, happy ending, or a never-before-seen portrayal of aliens & UFOs - then this one definitely isn't for you. But I found it to be delightfully entertaining. -OldFartAlienMovieBuff
... View MoreApril (Brittany Allen) and Kyle (Freddie Stroma) and a group of friends go the isolate cabin in the woods and we already know it it aliens from the title and the opening Dr. Who scene. (It's been nearly a decade since I have seen a working pay phone.) They encounter some unfriendly Grays in a crashed space ship. They enlist the help of their crusty conspiracy minded neighbor (Michael Ironside) who provided us with perhaps the best scenes in the film and a bit of humor. Armed with glow sticks, Kush, the Second Amendment, and a Roman Candle our group goes to war. How did he get a sonar ping in his living room?The film plot was fine and outside of Michael Ironside, the film didn't bother to create characters worth watching, although it does make an effort. Anja Savcic who mentioned she met her boyfriend while having a panic attack in a nightclub, should of had a later scene to relate to that with an alien, but they didn't utilize the characters they created. Even with all the shooting and running around I grew bored. I really didn't care about April and Kyle.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Brittany Allen showing off butt in panties.
... View MoreRather cliche and trudging story-awesome and actually pretty hilarious plot twist at the end however. Excellent of execution through cinematography and music.
... View MoreThis is a low budget, and a low in almost everything little movie. It is watchable if you don't care and have friends to talk to and a lot of popcorn.For example, it all start with a frenetic woman in shock who is running in pouring rain for help. She reach a store which is closing, so the responsible simply lock the door on her saying "we're closed" and don't give a heck that she is in trouble and urgently need help in that remote area.After that, we notice that she is not wet, even if she was running in the rain. She then run to a phone booth to call 911. We can see that she is in a light dress, almost a night dress with nothing else (she is running for her life). An alien craft then come over her head and suck her in. But by magic, the policeman that comes after to investigate the scene, finds in the rubble guess what the woman's wallet with her picture! Where the heck was she keeping that wallet?Anyway, it is just an example in order to describe the lack of work in that movie. For the rest of it, it is again really bad aliens that violently kidnap people in order to torture them.
