Here' s the thing with the IMD - everything is the' worst 'or the 'best' thing ever made! So while I don't think Evil Aliens is the best film ever made, I just think we should start a thread to say it is and represent the opposing view.I think this movie is great fun (and I also realise lots of people don't). Everybody is right and wrong, so we can all feel great about that! However anyone who thinks this is the worse movie ever I genuinely believe hasn't seen many movies. So check ut some IMBD titles with a less than '2.0' rating and see a new reality! I stilI love you crazy kids and yes low budget filmmakers are the real enemy so we should hate them for their sins... how dare they make films unless they are better than the best fim ever made, ever!
The only sad thing about these awesome low-budget movies is that the directors eventualy gets signed by some big company and starts making movies like LOTR. I'm not saying LOTR is bad, but it's not a product off either talent or will power, it's merely the product off a big budget.
Just watched this tonight, I only bought it because I think Emily Booth is sex on legs lol but this was an awesome film - the gore was amazing and the humour was excellent in places but loved the farmers/aliens Wild West standoff - that ruled as did the combine harvester bloodbath lol

It's a spoof horror movie about aliens. Why does there need to be any realism? Just switch off brain and laugh like hell at the gore and the one-liners.
Spotted your Dean Learner comment. Darkplace is great silly fun. I'd have thought you'd have supported the silliness of Evil Aliens as much as you seem to have enjoyed Darkplace. What I mean is, you can like a story about a giant eye raping and impregnating a man, but you hate a gore splattered comedy alien movie. Where's your consistency?
Not the best ever made but certainly very close, helped by the outrageously sexy Emily Booth. Funny as hell & loads of schlock horror made for a great film.
Now, while I don't think it to be the best film ever made, I have to admit that I was expecting a hell of a lot worse than this.
The special effects are respectable enough, gore notwithstanding, the alien ship effects are nothing worse than the current Doctor Who. The gore is actually pretty good, over the top works great when it's cheaply done, though there looks like a good chunk of change was spent on the body parts etc, certainly near the par of Dog Soldiers in that respect. I couldn't help getting the feeling that it was like Hollyoaks crossed with Predator for some reason. There are some brilliant exits for the characters, too. I can tell that the story may have been written on the back of a matchbook, but the details (deaths and fights) were well thought out. The combine harvester scene is brilliant, and as iconic for the film as the helicopter massacre sequence in 28 Weeks Later.
As low budget brit splatter/sci-fi flicks go, this among the best of the bunch.
Simply the most entertaining splatter-horror pic I've ever seen. With outstanding directorial flourishes. I think Jake West has the potential to be one of the best genre directors we've ever seen. Highly recommended.
I just bought it the other day but have not had the chance to watch it yet (due to work commitments) but I love these types of movies because they are independent they tend to be more imaginitive than main stream films and also they throw convention out of the window. I heard in the movie Leprechaun 4 (Leprechauns in space for crying out loud) a leprechaun apparently emerges from a guys penis!. you do not see that in Star Wars return of the Sith. It would be a sad day when they stop making movies like these
