As a big horror fan, and alien movie enthusiast, I was looking forward to seeing this movie when I found it. However, this really is as bad a movie as you will ever see. A lack of dialogue from the start until around 30 minutes in, and even then, it's awfully written. All-in-all, this is 1 hour and 15 minutes that I'm never going to get back. I can't urge people enough to swerve this movie!

I don't know, what the "Maker" of this "movie" thought, but this is like an insult for any SiFi/Horror-lover.
SPOILER!
This is the COMPLETE plot of this movie:
A woman, hiding in a shelter has a camera and a transponder, emitting some frequencies, to which some ETs (??!! This are HORRIBLE dressed people, wearing a silly mask and a white overall) are drawn to. When the ETs are in range, she shoots them. The "last" one says, there come more of them. Film ends THIS IS IT!!!!!
Spoiler END!
Simply horrible, catastrophic, waste of time.

What was the concept about??

Ouch... What went wrong with this movie? Where did the 1M$ budget go to? Certainly not to acting as there must be a maximum of 3 protagonists. The scenery? Outdoors, a forest, the same place all over again. The scenario? No. The picture? No. In short, I don't know where it went. I'm usually careful in my reviews, not trying to hurt the piece or its producer, as it's art, and as the saying goes "art is difficult, criticism is easy". With thousands of movies under my belt, I think I've seen many a different take on science-fiction, but I really didn't get this movie. What the heck did it try to tell? Was there something missing from post-production? It certainly looks like it, that's only one explanation out of the two I can think of. The other one, of course, is that I'm too dumb to understand it. Could be, not sure. In all seriousness, this movie is incomplete and misses its point entirely.
Awful
jonporterehs4 May 2017
Complete trash. Awful. Waste of time. Rather stare at a wall. Terrible. Some girl tries to kill aliens in some forest with guns trying to kill aliens. No need for subtitles seeing as there is barley any talking whatsoever.this movie's maker made a bad film because it is garbage with a capital G. Do NOT waste your time.
Redefines bad....

This movie is so bad it won't even become a cult film. This is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Campy, disconnected, clichéd, and dialog written to an 8th grade level are only a few of the highlights.
Head down to your local bar, find a drunk who is basically unintelligible. Engage the drunk in conversation. You'll have more fun.

Okay premise, rubbish execution

ALIEN IMPLANT has, I suppose, a halfway decent idea for a story. It's about a squad of aliens who receive a signal from Earth and decide to investigate. The signal emanates from a wood and turns out to have been sent by a crazed woman who was abducted by said aliens as a child and who have never forgiven them for her ordeal. Now, she's lured them into a trap and is hoping for revenge. Sadly, this is the usual shot-in-the-woods shot-on-video slice of nonsense with barely any redeeming qualities whatsoever. There's no script, just monotonous narration throughout, and the cast is populated by survivalist weirdos. There's hardly any action either.

Director Daniel Falicki appears to have an unhealthy obsession with aliens. This could be a sequel to "Devils in the Darkness" which also starred Lisa Mueller as Robin. In this film Lisa is not given a name. She does possess equipment that looks like it is from the 1950's and 1980's. I really liked the retro look, but my passion for this feature ended there. Lisa has an eye implant and keeps a diary which she unfortunately drones to us. She uses the electrically powered equipment located remotely in the woods to contact aliens with a distress signal and then kill them with a Mossberg shotgun...oh so easy. The woods she lives in has trees in a straight line (tree farm) and where she hunts aliens is a regular forest. Most likely shot in Michigan, Daniel's home. Lisa sounds and acts like she is from the U.P. An alien does appear to act as a mediator (Simon Oliver?) and repeats the mantra, "You can't stop progress." The scary part is that this is not the worst film you can pay for on Amazon.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Can one young woman carry a hour and 15 minute movie, yes.

Can one young woman carry a hour and 15 minute movie, yes. I thought the budget was way to much for this movie.
I never lost interest, although I kept looking for a hammer to drop...I wasn't disappointed.
I have a lot to say thou I don't want to spoil it for serious movie buffs...special effects are not always needed to enhance the quality of movies.
A long time ago I learned to enjoy the simplicity of indie movies; I loved this little movie and recommend to the lovers of cinema seekers seeking something not main stream Hollywood.
It's hard for me to do long reviews since I have arthritis in my hands.
I gave it a high rating, since I believe Lisa Mueller has a great future as an Actress...hopefully she'll make her stardom on her terms, which is hard for any one to achieve.
Watch it, and enjoy.
Interesting to watch? Yes!
molsmith137 November 2017
I make low budget movies and watched this as I got involved with making an alien abduction related movie... quite different to this. I quite liked it. I think the story idea itself is a great idea. The problem for me - story-wise - is that is was an idea ill developed.
No backstory. One is left understand a few simple premises.
The lighting and use of a single location are excellent, as too are the use of retro almost (but not quite) steam punk equipment. I think the actors and the crew did an excellent job, but the story itself is not expansive enough to go 75 minutes, which is a shame as I like the novel take on this idea and the way they built the illusion.
I think the budget of 1 million whatever is rubbish as this film cost nothing like that. Maybe 50,000 real money and the rest free labour, possibly. But saying all this, I found it interesting to watch and enjoyed most of it.
If only the creators could have maybe put a bit more action or transitional plots into the script, keeping the same location and the rest of the way they created it intact, it could have been more engaging. I would still recommend a viewing as the idea is original and much of the film is well executed.

It's about being a survivor of abuse
ceyx14 June 2019
A woman abducted by aliens as a child exacts revenge on those who abused her. An unexpected authority figure appears to convince her of the futility of her actions. This film is in the style of 1980's art house sci-fi like "The Quiet Earth". Lisa Mueller succeeds in carrying the entire film almost on her own, and managing to express the conflicted emotions of a survivor hardened by hate. An underrated and beautifully shot film.
Interesting budget film
sun-creek-ct17 May 2017
With this movie, you get what you pay for in that it only had an estimated 1 million dollar budget. That said, it did good considering the budget. This is a different movie. Just interesting enough to keep you watching. Think Vahalla. Give it a shot if you want to watch something out of the box!
Surprisingly fresh idea and good pictures
mypobox-3260221 March 2022
I'm sort of a veteran of sci-fi movies and in my view this movie was really not bad. One has to give the credit for new, fresh idea. The pictures are excellent with very good lighting effects. Most importantly, it kept me in relative suspension. Ending could have been better but then no movie is perfect...
