GREAT 50'S SCI-FI SPOOF! If it wasn't for the use or bright colors, and the stereo soundtrack - i would swear this movie was accually a "lost" 50's sci-fi classic! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!

4/5 Great fifties drive-in movie!

The review before this got it right. The only thing he didn't say is: this is a drive-in movie if I ever saw one. Get your best girl, a bag of popcorn, put your large screen monitor on the hood of your car and pretend you are young again and at the drive-in. It does bring back memories! Great Job to all who made this movie possible! Thanks and I would recomend this to the older crowd and maybe even the younger set.

4/5 Campy Matinee Monster Movie Fun! Recommended

"Alien Trespass" is a fun spoof of the alien\monster movies that I used to watch on Saturday afternoons. There is nothing pretentious about this movie at all and it certainly captured all of the elements that made those movies so memorable today:

Stiff Acting ... Check
Cheesy Special Effects ... Check
Hip Kids in Cool Cars ... Check
Square Cops ... Check
Rubber Suite Monsters ... Check
Weird SciFi'ish Music ... Check

Well, I guess that's all that's needed, we have a 1950's monster movie.

No plot spoilers from me, and none are needed if you ever saw even one of those old movies, the movie is "actually" a 1957 Hollywood movie that never got released, as explained in a newsreel style format at the beginning. The main plot follows Ted Lewis (Eric McCormack), a mild mannered astronomer, as the small town experiences a wave of strange events and disappearances that seem to be related to a meteor crash in the desert. Character actors Robert Patrick and Dan Lauria are the local police, and Jody Thompson as Lana, Ted's wife. R.W. Goodwin (The X-Files) produced and directed the movie.

The cinematography was fairly good and I liked the use of oversaturated colors to give that 1950 feel. The music score was exactly what you would expect from this type of movie and really set the right tone. There was very little to take offence to in the movie besides some very vague suggestive remarks and one biological reference.

Overall, this was a fun movie that might be lost on younger viewers but was very enjoyable to me. Recommended!
