SnoopyStyle Robin (Simon Phillips) proposes to Dana (Maya Grant) outside a nightclub. Michael (Sean Brosnan) hooks up with new girl Carrie (Bianca Bree/Bianca Brigitte VanDamme). Along with Vincent (Jazz Lintott), the five friends see something strange in the sky. The next day, the networks and power are out. Rumors are spreading and then a spaceship descends on the city. Panic and mayhem ensue.This is a lower budget British sci-fi B-movie. The acting is mostly film school level. It's nothing egregious and the famous kids don't embarrass themselves. Jean-Claude Van Damme does a limited cameo which is more distracting than compelling. The directing by Dominic Burns is weak but the writing is much worst. He tries a mashup of styles. It's a sci-fi movie that can suddenly turn into a martial arts movie out of the blue. It's J.J. Abrams' flare-o-rama plus some 360 camera work. There are alien ships but no alien makeup. It's a dull start that shows a little bit of promise and then slides into a mess.
dan_sprocket A bevy of uninteresting characters, and it's hard to know why they even hang out. But they keep hanging out, having flashbacks or flash forward or flash to never-never land... and I just could not wait for some sort of alien invasion to start! Random plot for the first 1/3 of the movie finally leads to a space ship appearing. Thank you! But long sequences of looking at people's faces looking at something is not suspenseful... it's just filler to stretch out this disaster of a sci- fi film. Asylum "mockbusters" are so bad they're kitch and funny. This is not interesting, funny, scary or entertaining. It's annoying and filled with unlikable characters that had me cheering for the aliens!
Clay Cyr I made the unfortunate mistake of reading the reviews here before watching the blu-ray I got in the $8 bin. I watched in horror as everything the negative reviewers pointed out was revealed as the ugly truth. The film(?) is so bad it actually deserves a rating of half a star, which sadly doesn't exist on this site's rating system. I understand completely now why the reviewers were beside themselves trying to squeeze out adjectives and metaphors for how bad this piece of cinematic garbage truly is. Spoilers...how can you spoil something that is already rotten? I would rather have spent that $8 on a fast food meal that gave me food poisoning...at least it would have given me some nourishment before my bowel movement. Yes, it is truly THAT bad. I could care less about the $8 I wasted because the worst of it is I will never be able to purge it from my subconscious mind and will have to bear the memory of it till I die.
sailormoon118 Okay, I'm not normally one to complain too much about really bad movies. I watch a lot of not so great horror movies however, this movie had almost no coherent plot, really weird and kind of horrible filming, and a horrible sound track. Again, keep in mind I watch A LOT of really horrible horror movies but this was pretty much hitting rock bottom of the entertainment barrel. There were a lot of loose ends and aspects of the already weak plot that were not explained. This movie could have been a lot better just without the confusing flashes of the actors and with different filming and a PLOT LINE.Honestly that's my biggest complaint. For a low budget movie they could have spent a bit more on getting a well written screen play and a bit less on the already poorly done special effects and half backed acting.
