Critics Consensus

An earnest attempt to parody campy 1950s sci-fi films, Alien Trespass eventually loses its charm among tedious dialogue and cheesy special effects.

The simple fact is that this movie kind of drove me nuts, and the only emotion it consistently brought out of me was an almost overwhelming desire for the darn thing to come to an end.

This lazy effort gets points only for truly loving -- perhaps to a fault -- the cheapo creature flicks of the 1950s.

A clever and surprisingly authentic throwback to the cheesy sci-fi films of the '50s.

The movie can't decide if it's an homage to 1950s sci-fi genre or a "new" kind of story.

A low budget movie that tries to be zany but gets caught up in its own story. The acting is very stagey, which makes it hard to care about any of the characters. A lot more gags and quips may have made it more bearable. You could see that everyone was trying hard to make it work. Sets and costumes were pretty good.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The pros completely missed this one, folks. If you're into old, original scifi movies, and even if you're not, watch this one on a rainy night with your spouse or date with some popcorn and milk duds. We need more simple, tongue-in-cheek movies like this to keep us sane.

Basically, this was straight shot of a 1950's Alien Invades "Science Fiction" type of movie shot in rich color. The clothes, cars, cliche' characters and dialogue was right on. It was played straight as far as I could tell, which was fine if you are into those sort of things.

Good movie if you like the cheesy feel of the 50s alien and monster movies. It is not for everyone but worth giving a chance if you like that sort of thing.

Fans of Eric McCormack and Robert Patrick will love this movie. Looks and feels like an authentic colourised B&W movie. Crazy use of Green screen is hilarious
