Review of TeenAlien

TeenAlien (1978)
2/10
Like a Don Dohler movie minus all the cool stuff
21 September 2021
The pre-credits crawl insist this is based on real events and, you know what, I believe them. After all, it was made in Utah and I've seen many strange things there! An alien lands in the 1920s and takes refuge in an old mill. Cut to the present day and some kids decide to throw a Halloween party there. This oddity is kind of like a Don Dohler movie minus all of the action and sci-fi shoot outs. Lots of footage of people walking around and not doing much of anything really. The entire cast is made up of real teens and dubbed by older folks, resulting in an odd effect. This is the only feature director Peter Semelka did, which is a shame because that is a great name and he actually does get a decent mood going. A quick internet search shows he most recently did some LDS religious videos.
