Kids vs. Aliens

The story centers on Samantha (Phoebe Rex) a high school senior who would rather hang out and play cosplay with her kid brother and friends instead of being with kids her own age. As they fake fight their way through the beginning, it is there only to set up later fighting. Billy (Calem MacDonald) a charming bad boy convinces Sam to have a Halloween Party at her place while her parents are out. To her dismay they completely trash the place and then the aliens show up. It was hard to separate the props from the real items. Billy had an extremely rotten character, it was not believable. The plot was written for kids, the problem being there was a frequent use of profanity throughout the entire film as the young teen boys are very potty mouth. Not for kids. Ends weird. Maybe a part 2. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The second spin-off film in the V/H/S franchise and a feature-length adaptation of "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" segment in V/H/S/2. A total let-down in quality when comparing with the original V/H/S/2 segment. Except with the eye-popping cinematography + visuals and cool retrowave music, this movie is a total waste of time. I didn't liked the distracting and annoying dopey teenage drama nonsense and the overall performances of the cast. Also the script and the direction were unbelievably messy and substandard.

I'm not sure if I've ever done a written review before but this is necessary to save valuable 75 minutes of other people's lives. HOT EFFING GARBAGE. This is the worst movie I have ever seen or ever will. Bar none. Makes Plan 9 look like Oscar material. The lead up is a bunch of bad child actors making their own lame Sci-fi movie. The irony is that the actual movie is even worse. I haven't checked yet but I strongly think children actually 100% put this together. Not 1 professional filmmaker involved. And shame on any of the clowns that posted a positive review. Go back to trolling on Facebook. Please don't watch; There's 0 redeeming value.

For an movie obviously on a low budget, it was fun. Had an old school 80s Peter Jackson feel. It was so stupid it was fun. If you take it that way you might enjoy and have a laugh at the same time. Take it for what it is, a bit of fun, some cool cheap action. Old school SciFi/horror in HD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Cool way for some young actors to get a crack and have a blast. Cheesy props and weapons, fun looking aliens, terrible story........gotta love it. Plenty of old score gore, blood and guts. Oh and the over the top school hunk who is a bully really steals the show 🤣🤣🤣. But the winner of the show is the ending.....cliff hanger of epic proportions.

This COULD have been good. But the idiots who scored and edited really failed. Unless some of the actors were worse than they appeared. Which was really poor. Possibly in total could have been exceptionally poor direction, writing and poor scripts. Could have been a great theme, which relayed to a great movie. The opening scene was absurd. Meant nothing and distracted from the plot. Cast dialogs were just...yuck! Schoolyard. And you expect people to be invested to watch??? There have been a couple of kids at camp bs aliens movies, but this was just so poor, about a N level overall. I feel very misdirected tjat this film received 4 more stars than valid by fake posters.

Horror has seen a resurgence in the last several years/decade. But so has the relentless onslaught of homages to the campy, garbage 80's horror/sci-fi films. Some do it very well, some are awful, and this film is somewhere in-between. I found it fun but at the same time too drawn out and overall, hard to watch in the sense of it being bad. Being directed by the guy who made Hobo with a Shotgun, expect it to be intentionally bad, and then see that they may have tried a bit too hard to make it schlocky. Que to clichés, foul mouth pre-teens and teens, huge house party, evil of some sort ruin it, kids band together to defeat said malevolence. The acting was good but everything else either was just below average or flat our bad. What kind of script was this? Did a foul mouthed 12 year old like the ones in the film write this. They couldn't have added more foul language if they tried. Sure we swore as kids, but this was trying to hard. The story was horrifying, again trying way to hard to be those Prom Night, Slumber Party Massacre, The Prowler, Nightmare on Elm Street 2 type films. The social hierarchy of "cool kids and dorks" is so over done, to the point where a character literally says dorks deserve to be taken by the aliens and murdering a child because "you ruined my party". Its just too much, again, "trying too hard" would be the motto of this film.

Kids vs. Aliens (2022) was recently added to Shudder and tells the tale of a group of kids who make cool costumes, write random scripts and get into making movies. One of the kids older sisters also partakes in their efforts until a group of mean teenagers come, the sister saves the kids but in the process falls for the leader of the teenagers. As the sister is pursued by the young man, the young man convinces her to throw a party in her house while her parents are out of town; unfortunately for them, the party is the same night as an alien invasion. This movie is directed by Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun) and stars Dominic Mariche (Are You Afraid of the Dark), Phoebe Rex (From), Calem MacDonald (Moonshine), Asher Grayson (Scaredy Cats) and Emma Vickers (Invisible). The storyline for this movie reminded me of a mix of Super 8 and Turbo Kid. The cinematography, lighting, costumes and props were all very good...except the aliens 👽. The alien costumes were bad but still entertaining. The characters are well established as is the circumstances. There are some entertaining kill scenes, especially at the end, that contain solid gore, and a hilarious sex scene that had me cracking up. This has a Stranger Things element where it's a perfect first horror film for kids/teenagers stepping into the genre. Overall, this is an above average addition to the horror genre that's fun for the entire family. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend it.
