First off, I have to ask, what was this movie doing on a DVD set of horror movies? It's not a horror movie; it's a sci-fi flick, and a bad one at that. The plot revolves around a flying saucer that crashes, and its inhabitants breaking free to terrorize the countryside. A local scientist somehow reasons that the craft was carrying "alien criminals and killers" on little to no evidence, and like so many other flying saucer movies, he struggles to convince the local sheriff as the murder count piles up. The acting is wooden, the sets are vacant rooms and the monsters are unconvincing. This is basically the Ed Wood-style of film-making with a "Night of the Living Dead" budget. You know it's a bad movie when the smartest thing anyone can say is, "Well, this thing won't be killing anyone else. That's for sure." One just gets the feeling the film was made up over the course of a weekend because there's no indication that a plot was ever conceived. Cheap production. Bad script. No effort at all.
