"Evil Aliens" has become one of the standard DVDs we show to visiting friends who need to relax, laugh a lot and generally let their hair down.

The film opens with a sex scene, closely followed by possibly the most gory disembowelling you'll ever see...and this all before the credits roll! However, though extremely gory and very tasteless at times, this is the sort of film which absolutely refuses to take itself seriously. Everything's very tongue-in-cheek, hammed-up and generally humorous - taken in its proper context, it's a very funny film.

Watch out for the combine harvester scene, as other reviewers have mentioned. You'll never forget it, and should the world ever be invaded by evil extraterrestrial beings, all those who've seen this movie will be heading for the farm equipment whilst everyone else is still trying to load their guns.

I have a huge fondness for horror films, and usually tend towards more cerebral, often Asian-made, subtle psychological terror offerings. Evil Aliens is none of these things, but if you want to laugh, groan and have a very amusing evening in with broad-minded friends....it's hard to beat.

"Evil Aliens" is the tale of an extraterrestrial arrival on a small island off the coast of Wales, where an investigative TV crew have become trapped.

The team, made up of the sexy, ice-maiden TV presenter (who also turns out to possess a Buffy-esque Kung Fu ability), hunky camera crew, an OTT camp actor, another tagalong vixen, and the obligatory sci-fi geek, make up what plays out as an adult Scooby-Do team in their mystery machine. They are forced to team up with the suspicious and stereotyped inbred local farmworkers in an attempt to defend themselves against the aliens' arrival.

Deliberately below the league of "American Werewolf", "Braindead", and so on, we are clearly in Troma territory here with "Evil Aliens". Indeed, there is much Troma-esque about this film. So if you like silly, sexy, comedy B-Movies, this is probably a good place to park your saucer.

this has every sci fi and horror cliche going, it trys to be funny and succeeds, even has the orignal hollie from red dawf in the opening scenes. its has everything, the backwards locals, the so cliche looking aliens.

If your looking for a serious movie go elsewhere but if your look for the shawn of the dead of killer aliens then this is it.

Look, you can't expect much from this genre. Not to say that you can't think it's a great film, but Evil Aliens doesn't claim to be a serious, scary movie. It's tongue-in-cheek, hilarious, and has a unique charm that so many others in the genre are lacking.

Well too be honest this film is a must watch. How anyone can combine blood, guts, more gore etc and the "Wurzles" i really dont have the answer too. But that had me in stiches.

Films today take themselves way too seriously. Two Norwigean firends of mine loved this too.

Not my usual cinematic fare I must admit but I loved it. There's not much of a plot and some of the acting early on is hammy to put it mildly. Once it gets going though this film really delivers. Unlike so many more mainstream horror films which seem to revel in torture and sadism this never takes itself too seriously. Meanwhile there's enough blood and guts to fill an olympic sized swimming pool, aliens wield a wicked anal probe with gusto, the body and limb severing count mounts by the minute, our hero steals the invading aliens spaceship and......I could go on but why spoil the fun. Judging by the extensive extras everyone in the cast had a ball making the film. If you approach it in the right spirit you will too.

What to say.....
Couldn't make up my mind if this is a cult film in the making, a good very low budget attempt or just a take the brain out and forget everything. The aliens are so obviously men in shinny suits with heads like rams. There are some comedy parts which work well, so on the whole, worth viewing if you're run out of this type of film or zombie films to watch.
I think it says it all when Norman Lowett (Holly from Red Dwarf) is the main star.

I had to send back with no problem have found out Blu-Ray can not be made multi regional Thanks any way for the no problem service

Great movie, loads and loads of gore and bloody violence and at the same time really, really funny and great fun, for a small budget horror it's great and Jake west did an awesome job, dont forget to check out the even more awesome "Doghouse" too.

Well, where do i start ? You get what you get, lets put it this way its not going to win any awards, if it has won any awards im at a loss for what they were for. its a good sit down watch with afew friends round, afew beers, maybe a pizza, biscuits, crisps, a double decker etc etc Watch and have a laugh. if your bored and this is the only film you havnt watched yet, then bang it in your dvd player. ive watched worse films.
