A
reporter named Michelle Fox (Emily Booth)
presents a show called TV Weird, a series
on people who are a little not there by
having phony incidents on UFO's. She gets
a call from a woman named Cat (Jennifer
Evans) who clamied that her and her
boyfriend were abducted by aliens and
impregnated with an alien baby so she
thinks this will be great stuff for her
next show and convinces her chief named
Howard Marsden (Norman Lovett) to
interview her and to bring a team of
different people to help her which is out
on a remote Welsh island of Scalled.
One of the people named Gavin Gorman
(Jamie Honeybourne) is a nerd whom is an
expert in UFO's doing sound for her show
and is convinced that they will find a
UFO.
His wishes do come true but he finds that
these aliens are not the friendly kind in
any way as they slaughter cows in the
field as well as people too which these
people who think they're on their way to
fame and fortune is on their way to their
death bed.
First watching
this flick it just seems like a zany
comedy and it is for the most part but
the horror does come on with the aliens
slaughtering mpeople so the film is
blended into two like you'd spot in Evil
Dead 2 or Nikos the
Impaler. The film was well done
for a movie with such a low budget that
it looks like a British TV show you're
watching but at the same time it gets a
little pointless and turns out to be a
bit of a drag.
There's some good moments where you will
jump and some moments they try to do that
again but it fails. We do have some
interesting scene's like some steel balls
chasing after someone in a vehicle which
seemed to borrow a bit from Phantasm.
The film is shocking and gruesome with
alot of perverted killing moments which
should please people that like that kind
of horror style. Otherwise you may want
to skip this one or watch it with a bunch
of friends partying on Halloween for the
laughs of it.
The acting is in
fair shape as lead actress Emily
Booth seemed very outgoing in her
role as the head one trying to spot UFO
sightings along with good energy trying
to survive the madness on these evil
aliens too. She also showed good sarcasm
with her lines too along with acting
possessed which she had a nice
expressionless alleal to her. I found her
to be the best actress in this film.
Jamie Honeybourne got on my nerves a
bit as he played a dweeby character in
this film and I never really took his
performance seriously but again he was
meant to be that kind of a character. He
wasn't overly awful I've just seen better
that's all.
Sam Butler really brought alot of
great characteristics to his part showing
a great aggressive attitude while
battling these aliens and showing a good
sense of humor too. I can really see him
getting more work in comedies and horror
flicks with the timing he had.
Nick Smithers does his part well
playing a fruitcake investigator type in
the film since we need a character like
him for a tongue in cheek horror and
delivered it off well.
Christopher Adamson stood out the most in
this film as an eccentric German soldier
showing good crazy expressions and
aggressions too. He knew what he had to
do to get his point across in the film
and I have no criticism for wis work on
his role at all.
We get to see a cameo on Norman
Lovett since it's nice to see him
playing a role other than a figure on a
computer screen in Red Dwarf.
He made his role very effective even if
he was in it for a couple minutes
bringing on a good comedic part too.
Bit part actor Dan Palmer is
lying face down naked in a UFO
Mildred Von Heildegard takes off her
top as a female alien barebreasted and
trying to seduce a human in her UFO.
For all you
gorehounds this one is for you
A guy is slayed pervertedly in the butt
Aliens hands punch through people's
chests
Many cows are torn apart in a field and
gutted open
Lots of head and legs as well as arms are
slaughtered apart throughout certain
scene's in the film.
A guy's body is stabbed from the bottom
to his mouth on a spiked wooden object
Lots of aliens are being slaughtered
Lots of violent bloodsheds
Jake West really
brings on the slapstick and cheesiness to
his work with this film. He does show
many distant shots on both actors played
by Jennifer Adams and bit part
actor Dan Palmer on a big
grassyway with tall stones around them.
We have a good shot on Palmer
lying naked tied down with cast members
like Scott Joseph as an alien
using a weapon about to do in Palmer in a
spot that's a mostly painful way to die
which makes you cringe.
We spot a corny dialogue between Emily
Booth and Norman Lovett
discussing about encounters and about
others to go on a mission with corny
sequences on the actors doing goofy
things. It was well directed but very
slapstick.
We spot some nice silent moments with
cast members like Booth, Jamie
Honeybourne, Sam Butler, Jodie Shaw and
Peter O'Connor looking around a
house and spotting some gothic
decorations along with the supporting
cast played by Christopher Adamson,
Mark Richard Hayes and Chris
Thomas running in with weapons
aggressively speaking German towards
them. This scene was meant to make you
jump but West seemed to try too hard
during this moment.
We have a good camera shot on Adams
screaming in terror during a flashback
moment with supporting actors like Christopher
Adamson this time playing an Alien
surgeon doing some gruesome results to
her while pulling out a baby alien making
some of this hard to watch.
We spot a good shot on Adams
suddenly breaking out and tearing off her
skin changing into an alien as she acted
very intense while performing this.
We have good shots on Adamson,
Hayes and Thomas preparing
their weapons in an open field againt the
evil aliens with good fast action pacing
along with the nice graphic shots too.
We have a nice dark shot on Adams
speaking softly in a dark area and then
attacking which was a perfect jumping
moment.
There's a good shot on Honeybourne
looking close to an alien on a crucifix
about to touch it and the actor playing
the alien suddenly moving which is
another good jumping moment.
There's a good camera shot looking down
on Honeybourne looking happy for
spotting the mother ship. We also have a
hilarious direction with him in the ship
and an actress playing a female alien
performed by Mildred Von Heildegard seducing
him in the mother ship with good shots
all around them while doing this romp.
We get a wild performance with Sam
Butler acting wild and crazy driving
a wheat tractor and good effects shots on
him plowing away aliens.
We spot a good shot on a banana peel
standing in a field while Butler
is running toward it away from the cast
as aliens and a good shot on the cast
with this too in which you start to
wonder if they're going to step on it and
slip.
There's good shots on Butler running away
in a corridor with actors like Mark
Holloway and Glenn Collier
as aliens on his tail. There's also a
nice slow motion shot on Butler
in a pool of liquid manuer activating a
lighter with a good sneering expression
on his face.
We also have great shots on both Shaw
and Adamson in a barn using
tools as weapons slaying away aliens with
blood splurting on them giving the
direction a nice horror touch to it with
the tongue in cheekness to it too.
We have a good close up shot on Booth
acting frightened while an object is
being put under her nose.
We spot a good tongue in cheek direction
on Booth acting possessed and
trying to slay away Honeybourne
while he tries to reason with her.
The music was well composed
by Richard Wells making the
music sound very mainstream and
adventureous too as well as having some
low synthesizer music with an odd
chanting sounds. There's the odd booming
sounds to top it all off.
