What reviewers say

Common ground

A cheerfully trashy low-budget sci-fi splatter comedy that leans into its own ridiculousness.

Fans praised

  • ass-kicking Aussie heroines with anarchist charm
  • relentless gore and mayhem played for laughs
  • creative low-budget practical effects (stuffed-puppy gags, spaghetti innards)

Detractors panned

  • atrocious acting and visible missed fight contact
  • virtually nonexistent special effects and cheap costume
  • derivative ripoff of Bill & Ted, Scooby Doo, and Japanese monster movies

What stands out

HumorDivisive55

cheesy dead-dog gags and self-aware silliness land for fans

PacingDivisive55

never boring, relentless gore and mayhem sustain momentum

CharactersDivisive45

gutsy heroines vs. shallow alien monster with no depth

OriginalityDivisive40

derivative of Bill & Ted and Scooby Doo, yet has its own Aussie punk flavor

Plot and storyDivisive35

simple alien-escapes-to-Earth premise, cheesy but coherent

Effects and spectacleDivisive30

practical gore chunky and fun, but CGI and costume are crude

DialogueDivisive30

jokes sometimes overlong, witty bits lost in amateur delivery

ActingDivisive25

enthusiastic amateur cast stumbles through; lone exception is Whitney Duff's performance

The rideThe film mixes threat-of-assimilation tension with goofy low-budget absurdity, likely peaking in action during the middle act.
StructureThe plot proceeds linearly from the alien's arrival through the protagonists' efforts to stop it, with a conventional beginning, middle, and end.
