Standout Aspects

Acting

Barry Stokes commits fully to being an alien who learned humans from bad TV.

Production

Shot in ten days with budget that wouldn't cover catering today.

Costume

The alien's 'disguise' wig deserves its own special effects Oscar.

Best for:Solo: Late night, slightly drunk, questioning your life choices.·Friends: Bad movie night with friends who appreciate glorious failures.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Gratuitous nudity and queerness treated as exploitative novelty.·Violence: Animal cruelty (goldfish eating) and low-budget gore.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of a brief British sci-fi horror boom following Alien's success, though this predates actual ripoffs by being too cheap to copy anything properly.

Trivia

Director Norman J. Warren shot this back-to-back with Terror (1978) using the same crew and locations; the two films share a cinematographer who apparently never slept that year.
