\"Evil-aliens-poster\"<\/a><\/p>\n

About five minutes into Jake West\u2019s \u201cEvil Aliens\u201d, I was already sinking low into my seat wondering what I was watching. It begins as a simple horror film. Two people are having sex. And they\u2019re abducted. The man then experiences one hell of a violent anal probe that tops off the sick fuck fest known as \u201cEvil Aliens\u201d, and I was having fun. Led by an utterly vivacious news reporter (Emily Booth), a group of cameramen and reporters head out into the countryside to investigate a case of abduction, and alien pregnancy they suspect is bogus, that will essentially lead to one hell of a bloody skirmish that makes up most of \u201cEvil Aliens\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one part comedy, one part sleaze, and two parts pure horror film, West takes advantage of his carte blanche of gore effects and creates many utterly gruesome sequences that will satisfy the most cynical horror freak. \u201cEvil Aliens\u201d has a sick humor about it, and never takes itself seriously; the characters are utterly moronic managing to sabotage each other\u2019s efforts to survive and fend off against the aliens on numerous instances, and when they manage to find a car to escape in, one boasts \u201cI\u2019ll bet you fifty quid the car doesn\u2019t start\u201d and when a character begins boarding up windows, Shaw exclaims “What’s the point of doing that, it never works in zombie movies!” One of the appealing factors of West\u2019s film, though, is that it shamelessly features some of the most disgusting gore you\u2019ll ever see, and West is never above spraying his cast with blood in every possible occasion.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s popped zit, a cut open fetus, decapitations, gauged eyeballs, and a truly amazing homage to \u201cCannibal Holocaust\u201d that you have to see for yourself. The special effects are noticeably low-tech, but never shoddy. Save for some CGI, West relies on good old fashioned blood splatter to keep the audience tight in their seats. The aliens themselves are utterly brutal with incredible latex work, and wonderful costumes,\u00a0 West manages to balance the comedy and horror just fine with some really memorable gags, and the characters knack for being complete numbskulls. Throughout the course of the film, you\u2019ll find yourself constantly changing loyalties between rooting for the humans to survive, and anxiously awaiting their deaths. \u201cEvil Aliens\u201d is mostly a comedy in which our characters have no way of getting off this Welsh island, so they have to do nothing but fight to survive and lower their numbers, and then there\u2019s nothing but bloody carnage involving bow and arrows, shotguns, and one hilarious alien sex scene.<\/p>\n

But, one main reason to watch this? Emily Booth. Pure and simple. Booth is basically the British equivalent of Linnea Quigley making her pure sex appeal all too evident, yet is never afraid to be completely goofy. I loved \u201cEvil Aliens\u201d in many instances, because it\u2019s not afraid to be stupid. When it\u2019s stupid it\u2019s fun, and West has the formula down right. It’s a ridiculous movie, I won’t argue that, and at times it’s extremely over the top, but I had a hell of a time because of those aspects. West’s “Evil Aliens” may just be the next cult classic, and it’s for good reason. With the right amount of sex, gore, action, and comedy, you’ll find it hard to resist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
