Review of Alien Strain

Minor spoilers. Alien Strain is a tough movie to get a handle on. If you can sit through the whole movie, it is definitely worth watching (especially on a weekend evening). The basic premise is a couple out in the desert when the girlfriend is captured by aliens. The b/f is committed to the psych ward, accused of her murder by law enforcement. All is made clear at the end. It doesn't descend to X-Files nonsense but it also does not employ enough special effects or scare factor to make it an edge-of-the seat thriller. I think part of the problem with this movie and why it has garnished low ratings, is that neither of the protagonists, as actors, garnish much sympathy. BUT, lots of delicious surprises at the end. And I can tell you, if you are willing to watch the whole film, you'll be asking yourself, "What the FK is really going on, out there?"
