After crash landing near a desert town, an alien enlists the help of a local waitress to re-capture a monster that escaped from the wreckage of his space ship.
The story begins in in the star-filled skies above California's Mojave Desert. It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis, who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In another part of town, Tammy, a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams.
But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship. He did, of course, have help from a bunch of also quite nicely cast actors and actresses. But he was the main attraction, no doubt about it. If you are unfamiliar with the s Sci-Fi movies, then chances are that you will think "Alien Trespass" to be a waste of time.
And the production value and lack of modern special effects might be offsetting for you as well. But for us whom watched these Buck Rogers movies and the like, then this is definitely a gem in its own right. Pass The Salt!
For a moment I thought I was really back in my teen-age , the big-finned cars, the flouncy dresses, the sci-fi saturated drive-ins. Okay, I'm nostalgic, but it really is a good flick, well acted, produced and written; plus, entertaining all the way through. So how will space-ranger Urp defeat the man-eating Ghota whose flying saucer has crashed into the North American desert. Good thing Urp borrows Dr. Lewis's body if not his hormones. At the same time, the village towns-people have to overcome their disbelief in alien space craft and shape-shifting monsters.
What with all those vulnerable blonde cuties, I was really worried. There are touches of satirical humor trading on 50's sci-fi, but the flick's too well rounded to qualify as just a spoof. In many ways, however, it does suggest a version of 's The Day The Earth Stood Still, from the latter's metal clad Gort to Klaatu's cosmic police force.
However that may be, I was grabbed by that suburban house and its grassy yard sitting alone and in the middle of the immense desert, like a surrealist illusion. Actually, it's likely meant to show Lewis and wife's middle-class status among the town's backwoods types. And how about the parallel theatre scene with the panicked audience from 57's The Blob.
It's an imaginative touch tying in with both AT's plot and the time period. Sure, the movie's gangly monsters are on the silly looking side, at least before they reduce you to goo. Still, it's an imaginative and well-done sci-fi, and a tribute to its 50's predecessors. LeonLouisRicci 3 February This Movie does not Make Fun of Itself. The Movie Itself is Fun. Send up of the 's science fiction films that play better than other recent attempts Lost Skeleton of of Cadarva for example.
It kind of works but even at 80 minutes the film feels too long for what it is A newsreel at the start seems to indicate they needed to stretch the run time. For me the real problem is that the film is in color and while thats fine since many films like War of the Worlds and When Worlds Collide were made in color, this is the wrong sort of color If you watch the film you'll know what I mean.
It looks good but just feel wrong and I think Black and White would have been better. Worth a rental if you like old science fiction films. It's a tribute to those alien invasion movies, usually involving a misunderstood E. When a UFO crashes into a mountainside releasing a deadly creature, the otherworldly pilot of the craft must track it down.
Eric McCormack is dead-on as both the intrepid scientist investigating the situation and the alien. Robert Patrick co-stars as the jaded, mean cop. This movie is a delightful diversion It is done in the same manner as in the 50's, complete with weird music and rubber monsters, the language and behaviour of the era, old cars and ridiculous hair styles.
If released at the time, it would have been a classic. As a movie it is only a great recreation of a period 50 years ago and a tribute to half a century of horror making.
Bottom line: the funny thing is, comparing the rubber monster that turns people into puddles to today's monster, you see how much the technology had advanced. Comparing the plot, there isn't much in the way of evolution. I think any scifi fan would enjoy this. If you are looking for a sci-fi that doesn't rely on big name actors to suck you into the theater, doesn't have endless explosions and car chases, doesn't rush into the story without developing characters, and doesn't have any men in black, then "Alien Trespass" is for you.
It kind of reminds me of the retro zombie movie, "Fido", with it's flawless attention to 50s period detail. It is what it is, and if you grew up on a steady diet of s sci-fi, you will appreciate the film. If on the other hand you are addicted to c. If minimalist 50s entertainment is to your liking, I recommend "Alien Trespass". Sometimes less is best. Alien Trespass pays homage to s sci-fi thrillers with a story of a spaceship, carrying an alien marshal ferrying a murderous alien creature to jail, that crash lands near a remote desert town, throwing everyone into a panic.
Given how cheesy movies of the period were, it's somewhat surprising that Alien Trespass turns out to have quite a bit of panache and credulity to go with its faithful look at a quieter, simpler time. Set in , the movie follows the effect that the arrival of the alien marshal Urp Marshal Urp, get it?
Shortly after his ship crashes — and his prisoner escapes — Urp assumes the body of a local scientist, Dr. Lewis Eric McCormack and sets about finding his prey, a Ghota — a beast with one eye and huge tentacles who kills.
And turns invisible! Some kids necking hee hee at Lover's Lane or Lookout Point or Inspiration Point see the crash, and when they investigate they're attacked by the monster. But naturally, the police don't believe them or their seedy looking greaser pal told you it was set in the fifties. Meanwhile, Marshal Urp, in the doctor's body, is stealing cars and trying to, uh, blend in.
One of the scenes — no spoilers here — takes places in a movie theater while the kids are watching The Blog. Yes, the one with Steve McQueen, where he himself is a kid trying to warn a small town about a gelatinous monster! And of course, while everyone's watching this movie, the real monster attacks.
