August 24, 2009"It came from another galaxy. A creeping, crawling nightmare of terror!"
After crash landing near a desert town, an alien enlists the help of a local waitress to re-capture a monster that escaped from the wreckage of his space ship....( read more) -
August 14, 2009Alien Trespass really had me excited. I love the old 50's Sci-Fi films and couldn't wait to see a modern one with that recreated feel. The problem comes in the inconsistency of quality. For example, some of the performers take it seriously, some ham it up 50's style, some are jus...( read more)

May 5, 2009A one eyed tentacle monster eats a large portion of the population of a Hollywood backlot town while being hunted by an alien marshall. A faithful recreation of the style of a 1957 "aliens among us" thriller that wisely plays it straight, rather than taking a superior and winkin...( read more)

March 22, 2009I loved this romp so much. It really takes very little to keep me entertained when it comes to tongue-in-cheek comedies. This is definitely one of the most cheesy, corny, stupid, oddball spoofs I've seen. But it revels in its satirical disposition and never, ever takes itself ser...( read more)

September 14, 2009I'm not sure what exactly the filmmakers were going for here, but unlike Mars Attacks or Men in Black this has very little camp and no irony or parody whatsoever (or even the inherent melodramaticism of the genre) and so we end up with a mostly rigid re-creation of 50's B sci-fi....( read more)

November 7, 2009Another movie that I found myself pleasantly surprised with. I really enjoyed the fact that this was an homage to the science fiction genre of the 50's as those were movies I enjoyed. It had the same cheesy looking creature, cheesy story and it even had a cheesy message at the en...( read more)

October 3, 2009A great tribute to those 50s alien invasion flicks. An alien is attacked by a giant parasite in his flying saucer and crash-lands on earth. The parasite escapes and the alien goes after it. The rural townspeople start disappearing as the police investigate. Really funny if you en...( read more)

September 21, 2009This movie is the combination of Plan 9 from outer space and the day the earth stood still... It's corny for today's standard. it uses the 1950's sci fi movie style, since I'm a great fan of classic movie I think this movie is pretty nice but the some people might think this movi...( read more)

September 11, 2009Light and all-around fun, this is a nice tribute to those cheesy 1950s sci-fi movies. The cast does a wonderful job and the story is nicely done. It's not a great film, but it's certainly entertaining and should be watched by anyone who's a fan of old-fashioned sci-fi flicks or j...( read more)

September 8, 2009Alien Trespass is a goofy one time watcher. It is entertaining and enjoyable only if your a huge fan of sci fi!

A highly entertaining retro Sci-fi blast from the past that is loads of fun, an endearing tribute to all those bad movies we just loved. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
If you're not going to have fun with such a silly cinematic subgenre, what's the point in resurrecting it? Or, from the more pertinent audience point of view, in seeing it? full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Alien Trespass, which opens Friday on the heels of the witty Monsters vs. Aliens, feels like an also-ran. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Alien Trespass, an affectionate tribute to flying saucer movies, treats the clichés of drive-in sci-fi with touching naïveté. So why isn't it more fun? full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Alien Trespass could be the latest bulletin from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 except that we're the silhouetted heads and the filmmakers are sitting right there next to us. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
At a certain point you find yourself thinking, why not watch the real It Came From Outer Space, instead of this mildly amusing replica? full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Here is a movie more suited to ComicCon or the World Science Fiction Convention than to your neighborhood multiplex. full review

Nick Schager, The Screengrab
Merely coasts along limply, lacking ribald tongue-in-cheek humor as well as the unironic self-seriousness that epitomized its spiritual predecessors. full review
