Alien Raiders (2008)
5/10
Entertaining enough, but doesn't deliver where it should
17 November 2023
Sure, for a super low budget film, it's decent. Acting isn't bad, I've seen way worse in blockbuster films like Twilight, Star Wars, and live action Disney remakes. The premise is pretty fun. It's like "The Mist" or "Splinter," with an "Assault on Precinct 13" twist.

My biggest complaint is that they cheaped out on the special effects and the violence. This is the kind of movie people expect fun, gory kills, and it really fails to deliver on that. Sure, lots of people die, and sometimes it's shocking, but the editing is so quick, you really don't see much. The actual "creature horror" parts are few and far in between. It's mostly about a group of people trapped in a grocery store.

Poor execution, but it's not bad for what they had to work with. It's worth a watch. But only one.
