Review

SCREENED AT SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST FILM FESTIVAL, WORLD PREMIERE

decent, but longish, comic horror flick. actually, the first half is really good and funny, but the second half gets bogged down a bit in the pursuit by the aliens and then the eventual eradication of the threat. i liked the creature design and the score/sound (both stole elements from predator). it was odd that the film had an R rating and plenty of cursing, but purposely stayed away from t&a. generally real horror films incorporated plenty of t&a, yet this one, even when during the sex and bathing scenes, placed the camera in just the right (or wrong) place in order to avoid nudity. one has to wonder what was going on there. rob zombie and lloyd kaufman have cameos.
