    MANDY DAVID M.

    Don't be fooled by the title!! Here we have a low-budget genre flick that was shot in 15 days but has more cleverness and creativity than some of the (much) pricier Hollywood movies. It's easily the most entertaining title yet to come from Warner Bros.' "Raw Feed" genre division -- although calling this scrappy flick better than Rest Stop or Otis is damning it with feint praise. The basic premise (some sort of aliens have invaded a supermarket in the middle of nowhere) is more than enough to fill a Saturday afternoon matinee slot, but the unexpectedly clever screenplay by David Simkins and Julia Fair buoys the flick across a small handful of slow spots. Best of all, when Alien Raiders isn't dealing with guns, aliens or general mayhem, it offers dialogue, characters, and plot threads that are actually (get this) interesting! I highly recommend this movie! It may not be available to order by mail, but Blockbuster would be missing out if they don't stock this fine film.

    What a pleasant surprise! I was expecting a "work on the laptop while I half-watch something" movie. Then I was sucked in by an interesting plot and great acting from actors/actresses of whom I was unaware. If you like sci-fi then you should rent this movie after you've watched the mega-movies on your list.

    An above average sci-fi horror flick. A fast paced, cleverly told story which keeps you guessing who the bad guys really are.
