Ruined by a Bad Name. Change it please!
Whoever came up with "Alien Raiders" as the title needs a clue or two. I have to wonder if they read the script or saw the film at all.
It's a shame, too, because it's a decent movie that will be hurt by the inaccuracy of the name. I'm sick and tired of hollywood studios dimissing the genre market and catering to the lowest common denominator. I see a lot of arthouse films, but have a fondness for 'midnight movies' and this one would be a lot of fun with friends. But thanks to the title, people who'd enjoy it might not see it.
It was a lot of fun at Fantastic Fest, where I had to wait in the standby line to see it. It was worth the wait. I was smart enough to read the description in the program, which didn't match the title.
So, please, Hollywood, help though of us with a horror-tooth get to see the movies we enjoy, and stop messing with titles. (and for that matter, stop making all the good horror go straight to DVD, dammit, as this one seems destined to do).
