Now, I am a bit uncertain whereas this is a spoof or an homage to the 1950s space Sci-Fi movies with ray guns and horrible one-eyed tentacle space aliens. I must admit that it definitely feels more than an homage than a spoof.
Regardless, then "Alien Trespass" was actually a rather enjoyable movie. Especially if you are familiar with old Sci-Fi movies of the years long gone. I used to watch those every now and again, so I found the 2009 "Alien Trespass" to be a wonderful return to those classic movies. Even though I didn't get to watch "Alien Trespass" before 2018.
They had put together a good story, which captured the essence of those good old Sci-Fi movies. And it really worked that they opted to use the same cheesy effects, such as blue screen driving while in cars, cheap monster costumes, and not resorting to big budget CGI and special effects.
Eric McCormack carried the movie quite nicely, and he was well-cast for the leading role. He did, of course, have help from a bunch of also quite nicely cast actors and actresses. But he was the main attraction, no doubt about it.
If you are unfamiliar with the 1950s Sci-Fi movies, then chances are that you will think "Alien Trespass" to be a waste of time. And the production value and lack of modern special effects might be offsetting for you as well. But for us whom watched these Buck Rogers movies and the like, then this is definitely a gem in its own right.
