Foil is rough around its edges, but it has a good heart and a healthy dose of good-natured self-reflection, with a clever spin on alien conspiracy theories, and how friendships can get lost and found again in those awkward post-high school years.

Aims for Clerks with aliens and ends up closer to Yoga Hosers, dragging out its comedy-sketch premise for more than 100 minutes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robb L @MovieFluff1 Jun 8 An obvious low budget film that felt like it was a film school project..in a good way. It proves that a big budget and Hollywood stars aren't required for a good laugh and an entertaining view. The dialog was well written and the plot full of hilarious twists. I dug it and laughed a ton, enjoy it with a few gin and tonics and thank me after. See more John S May 30 Funny enough for a Weds night but don't save it for the weekend. Also, don't write direct and star oh and executive produce all in one movie. See more Koi P @hopep May 23 Fun watch. Entertaining, humorous, suspenseful. Well written and acted. See more Dave W May 16 This is literally the worst, cheapest, dumbest and most mind numbingly boring "movie" I've ever seen; these guys are actors the same way my one time flying a Cherokee qualifies me as an f-14 pilot... holy crap See more Alethea R Feb 18 Foil is lighthearted and fun film that brought a smile to my face. See more Nelson T 11/30/2024 A low-fi sci-fi banger! Foil has a great camcorder aesthetic and with just 4 actors total makes for a really memorable comedic experience with a few well-earned laughs and a great kooky premise that will be appealing to anyone who has ever had fun thinking about aliens and over-the-top conspiracy theories. Love the location too. Really fun and highly recommended See more Read all reviews
