Alien Trespass

The simple fact is that this movie kind of drove me nuts, and the only emotion it consistently brought out of me was an almost overwhelming desire for the darn thing to come to an end.

This lazy effort gets points only for truly loving -- perhaps to a fault -- the cheapo creature flicks of the 1950s.

Alien Trespass, with a rating notice that mentions 'brief historical smoking,' is at least better than last year's official remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

It's comfy. It's kitschy. There are lovely enticements but also much that is simply put and beautifully, beguilingly silly.

While there's a lot to admire, it all feels like an engaging though needless academic exercise.

A clever and surprisingly authentic throwback to the cheesy sci-fi films of the '50s.

ALIEN TRESPASS -- these aliens can trespass on a movie screen near me anytime!

The movie can't decide if it's an homage to 1950s sci-fi genre or a "new" kind of story.

An oddity from another time and place, and well worth a look because of it.
