Review of Evil Aliens (2006) by Erin W — 02 Dec 2006

An amusing horror B-movie, Evil Aliens is a cheapo intentional knock-off of such Thatcher-baiting classics as Evil Dead and Braindead. An in-depth review is pointless, so instead I thought I'd point out everything I considered to be a reference.

Evil Dead/The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - chainsaw, POV cam, comedy eye violence, isolated cabin with trophy mounts.

Alien - unexpected monstrous pregnancy, 'one of us is infected'.

Braindead - limbs being torn off, geeky lead, death-by-lawnmower.

Predator - the alien look.

Night of the Living Dead - planks used to stave off the attack.

Zombie Flesh Eaters - eye-stabbing.

Day of the Dead - referenced by name.

Independence Day - computer virus.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Mexican standoff.

Shaun of the Dead - cricket bat as weapon.

Four Weddings and a Funeral - multiple swearing.

Signs - crop circles.

Delicatessen - rhythmically-edited sex scene.

Razorblade Smile - spoof filming of.

Ed Wood - "let's shoot this fucker!".

Jaws - "we're gonna need a bigger boat".

The X-Files - "we are not alone", etc.

Star Trek - the Vulcan 'V'.

Most Haunted - general style.

Countless horrors - the stalling car.
