Extraterrestrial

The opening scene promises a competent and mysterious UFO sci-fi flick that would make even Mulder and Scully proud, but that impression begins to fade with the minutes. The ambitions were evidently lacking, the creators were happy enough with reprocessing The X-Files and Fire in the Sky. That could have been fine for some B-movie fun, as there aren’t many similar films, but for that the protagonists shouldn’t be so annoying. Really, those characters seem to be competing at which of them can be the least likeable. The winner, by the way, is the Sheriff’s deputy, who manages it in two scenes. The aliens, in addition, look run-of-the-mill and the climax kills it dead. (10/25/2014)

"Extraterrestrial" is not that much of a horror film, even though it tries to resemble "Alien" a bit. It doesn't evoke the gothic heaviness even for a moment. Maybe you will be disappointed by the terrible ending, which could slightly reference "Night of the Living Dead". The Vicious Brothers have shown that they might be genre experts, but they can only make a horror film because someone gives them money and they know the basic rules. This doesn't change the fact that "Extraterrestrial" is a film that has gone beyond the limits of tolerability. (10/31/2014)
