Alien Raiders - Nice little B-movie

The only thing you need to ask yourself when deciding whether or not to watch a film called ‘Alien Raiders’ is… do I like the sound of a film called ‘Alien Raiders?’ If the answer is ‘Yes’ then you’ll probably get something out of it. However, if the answer is a, ‘No – that sounds like one of those cheap B-movies you see in baskets at petrol stations for £3,’ then you’re probably better off passing this one by.

It’s one of those films like ‘Snakes on a Plane’ where you basically know what you’re getting from the title. It’s about a group of aliens (who look human to save on special effects) who are tracking down a bad alien and take a group of humans hostage in a supermarket while they try and figure out who’s infected.

It starts off slow, but picks up pace about half way through. And then it becomes a reasonable little B-movie. So, for anyone with a taste for sci-fi who isn’t expecting ‘Avatar-like’ special effects, you may just get an hour and twenty minutes (cheap) amusement out of this.
