Two men witness an unexplainable event in the sky as a historic solar storm approaches, and they try to survive as a terrifying life form hunts them.

Scott Tobias

The Dissolve

Burgess' script has an ingenious structure that leaves the middle of the story blank, but Ejecta doesn't improve by sketching in that central mystery.

Rated: 2/5

Village Voice

The whole never makes much sense, and there's entirely too much screaming, but the directors stage the shocks with wicked aplomb.

Slant Magazine

The cogent character study nestled inside all the bombast remains crafty for its rare commingling of artful storytelling and genre nonsensicality.

Rated: 3/4

Richings is fantastic as Cassidy, possessed by vulnerability yet never presented as weak.

Daily Dead

Over the course of Ejecta's 83-minute runtime, it felt like I was watching three very different movies at once, but they never quite all come together cohesively. The film also squanders a strong performance from Julian Richings.

Rated: 2/5

We Got This Covered

Ejecta is just another sci-fi flick without a true identity, playing off extraterrestrial stereotypes that have been used time and time again.

Rated: 4/10

I knew it would be like a bad Syfy tv movie, but it surprisingly found ways to get worse and worse. Makes little sense, schlocky, laughably inept alien incapable of getting by mattresses, cheap looking, poorly acted, and a climax where the alien is a fat guy in a t-shirt walking around a warehouse.

Ejecta is an ambitious and imperfect movie, but I don't think it comes close to being as crummy as some reviewers found it. I can see how it would have a hard time finding its audience - imagine if Samuel Beckett, in need of ping pong money maybe, had banged out a script for Roger Corman. A lot of the writing is excellent, and Julian Richings and Lisa Houle are wonderful actors. This is a good movie to watch if you prefer seeing somebody fail at being brilliant rather than succeed at being conventional. Plus, it has a truly scary monster - and I don't mean the alien.

Ejecta: Some of the scares in this low budget "aliens land in the woods" flick are actually good, just not nearly good enough to overcome a lame, nonsensical story. If only the filmmakers had spent as much time on a plot and character development as they did special effects... You will want to "ejecta" this one out of your DVD player long before its ending. C

I have no idea what the hell they were thinking. After an hour absolutely nothing has happened.

Terror / Thrillers / Scifi on the same way of The X-Files...but this time a total failure. Bad (horrible) acting, bad story, bad efects, you name it, this movie have it. One of the worst things I watched this year. 3,0 / 10,0
