Verdict: Bonkers B Movie
Story: Evil Aliens starts by showing a couple having a good time in the middle of a field at night, when they get attacked by some unknown visitors. Moving to meet our lead Michelle Fox (Booth) an inspiring reporter obsessed with investigating paranormal, she gets her way to and along with her crew cameraman Ricky (Anderson), sound man Jack (O’Connor) expert Gavin (Honeybourne) and actors Candy (Shaw) Bruce (Smithers). The group set out to the remote island to find out the truth about the story about a woman who gets abducted and claims to be pregnant.
Arriving on the island they find they may be in for more than they bargained for by meeting the brothers of the girl involved who only speak Welsh and hate English. After Candy believes she sees an alien outside the window the group set out to investigate what it could have been. The shot interviews with the girl in questions and re-create the moment with their actors. They shot everything to make a good television show story while never uncovering anything along the lines that will be the truth.
Things take a turn for the worse when they discover the aliens are in fact real and blood thirsty. The group must band together to survive and film the proof to make a fortune. The question remains who will make it out alive.
Evil Aliens follows a very simple storyline as we follow the paranormal investigators looking for answers. The idea that the aliens are real helps push the story to the letting paranormal team try and fight back. This doesn’t really go much deep for story and the film itself want to try and be gore, gore and more gore. This film knows what it wants to be and never tries to be anything else which has to be praised, but if you were to compare it to anything else you would be left thinking it is pretty much awful. When it comes to these type of horrors the story will appeal to the right people but not everyone. (5/10)
