Alien Trespass (2009) Sci Fi Marathon

Alien Trespass (2009) - This wonderful ode to "It Came From Outer Space" wonderfully done with the love of old style Sci-Fi shining through in every frame. Aliens are invading a small town in the Mohave desert and astronomer Ted Lewis ( Eric McCormack ) sets out to investigate. Aliens capture and impersonate the towns citizens. These Ghotas are bad news, good thing there is another Alien out trying to hunt them down. Urp, the alien hunter helps to solve the problem of the ghotas and fix his ship so he can leave the earthling alone with the lessons they have learned.
What I like: Since I like old sci-fi I really liked the feel of this film. Not played for laughs but definitely with an eye on the movies of the past this film was a fun visit to the past.
What didn't work for me: It was good fun but the acting was just okay. Since it was in the more corny Sci-Fi style there was not allot of room for the actors to work. The story really determined the acting.
Rating (6.5)
