Evil Aliens - So bad.  So awful.  So why do I love it so?

'Evil Aliens' is Britain's answer (or rather 'homage') to 'Evil Dead,' only with aliens, obviously.  It's about a camera crew who travel to Wales to film a local's story about how she was impregnated by an alien baby and, once there, they discover that there's more to the country than just a rogue sheep. 

There are no recognisable actors in this film (unless you count the cameo from Norman Lovett from Red Dwarf and even he's hardly on form).  Therefore, the cast appear largely as novices to their profession.  Please don't expect any form of Oscar-worthy performances here.  Secondly, the special effects are pretty hit and miss.  Those created by CGI are pretty below par and akin to something you'd expect to see on the Sci-fi Channel's worst offerings.  However, the effects created by generally ripping people apart and severing limb with garden tools are actually pretty decent (if you like seeing people being run over and splatting under combine harvesters).

With it's poor acting, clichéd dialogue and so-so effects, 'Evil Aliens' is a pretty poor offering.  However, it does have one saving grace.  It KNOWS it's a poor offering.  It never tries to be a great work of art, therefore it does come across as quite 'knowing.' It knows what it is and it never tries to be anything else.  That leaves you to just sit back, put your brain on hold and enjoy watching people being chopped up in as many and varied ways possible.

No matter how bad it gets, the classic scenes just keep coming.  I've already hinted to the combine harvester, but there are also such delights as alien sex, alien 'Jerry Springer' shows, inbred Welsh farmers engaging in a stand-off against psychotic, bloodthirsty monsters and a low-grade dominatrix who just so happens to be an awesome shot with a shotgun.

If you're looking for a deep and meaningful film, you won't find it here.  If you're looking for a fun, gore-fest to generally laugh at how bad it is, then you should appreciate it.

8/10 The Force is definitely strong with this one
