A swarm of alien creatures has invaded the small town of “Blue River.” Now Jimmy, and his pregnant girlfriend, Everly must work together to stop the monsters, or the planet and their relationship is doomed.
If love really conquers all, how will it stack up in a no-holds-barred arena battle against extra-terrestrial monsters?
When Jimmy Walker, a local demolition derby driver, finds out his girlfriend Everly is pregnant, he figures it's the toughest news he'll get that day. Yet, somehow, the two of them also manage to accidentally open a mysterious portal, and a horde of bio-engineered alien creatures are set loose in the small desert town of Blue River. In a race against time, these soon-to-be parents must quickly learn to work together and stop the invasion, or their town, their planet, and their relationship will be annihilated.
I was invited to watch an early screener of this comedy/sci-fi
ALIEN COUNTRY will release on October 22 on digital and streaming platforms, including iTunes/Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Fandango at Home, Vimeo, DirecTV, Dish Network, Dish Digital, and local cable & satellite providers.
Everly has dreams of leaving her small town and becoming a singer. These hopes are interrupted when Jimmy, (her baby daddy-to-be) accidentally opens a portal that allows aliens through, and they do not come in peace.
From there it's up to this bickering couple and a small cast of zany characters to fight them off and save the town.
What I liked:
KC Clyde and Renny Grames as the bumbling Jimmy and Everly have good on screen chemistry and their back and forth squabbling was amusing, but also made me care about whether or not they would end up together.
Barta Heiner as Nana, the kooky grandma was endearing and hilarious at the same time.
What I didn't like:
The alien creatures weren't seen in much detail. In most scenes, they were just zipping by so fast that you barely get a look at them probably due to a low budget for special effects. In the only scene I recall with a close-up that lasted more than a split second the alien just didn't look that impressive.
All things considered, it was an entertaining 97 minutes that I rated 6 out of 10 stars on IMDB
