MSNBC reviews Alien Trespass
MSNBC Film Critic Alonso Duralde reviews ALIEN TRESPASS, and he does not like what he sees. In an article headlined “Alien Trespass is all too familiar/Jokey homage to vintage creature features is the same-old-same-old,” Duralde writes:
Trafficking in arch, winking jokes that even the laziest improv comics would consider beneath them, “Alien Trespass” is a handsomely mounted, and occasionally well-acted, snooze. We’ve seen this kind of homage and spoofery a thousand times before, and this one brings zilch to the table. [...] There was maybe enough material here to yield a clever short film, but 88 minutes of this kind of elbow-in-ribs jocularity becomes exhausting.
A previous review in Variety (which we quoted here, along with the film’s trailer) was quite favorable.
The film opens in select engagements this Friday. The official ALIEN TRESPASS website has a list of theatres.
