Cast: Gil Bellows, Maxim Roy, Judd Nelson, Isabella Rossellini
A pair of newspaper reporters receive help from an unlikely accomplice in their effort to stave off an alien invasion.
Featherweight sci-fi conspiracy yarn, about a hack UFO journalist trying to uncover the truth about an alien races attempts to poison mankind so the they can use humans as hosts to reproduce. The films pace and cheesy feel don't do the done to death plot line any favors. Acting is not so bad it's rare to see Isabella Rossellini turn up in cheesy genre movies, and it's always great to see Judd Nelson in the mix, here Judster does his best to act and look like Peter Jackson. Though I did like the alien maggots crawling through human bodies the FX are mostly substandard CGI especially the final full grown alien. Maybe fans of cheap science-fiction B-movies will have a hoot, if that's not you then go with something higher brow like a sci-fi original movie :P.
