A US rocket ship crash lands in a country town and it's inhabiting alien wrecks havoc with the locals ripping a few heads off. Slade Hunter, an alcoholic war vet who suffers flashbacks (Co-Writer/Director Eric Szmyr), is searching for whomever killed his brother. He finds himself fighting for his life while directly in the midst of this apparent conspiracy involving the aliens, the U.S. government, and Jack Alder, a rouge CIA agent who set all this in motion.
This movie presents itself as if it were a comic-book complete with a scene introducing 'the Risen' comic book & comic panel segues sprinkled every now and then. (which is annoying at times. Case in point the lights go off in a house at one point, and a comic panel pops on the screen exclaiming: Black out. Really, ya think?) The story itself is a bit eclectic and doesn't always gel together, at even just a bit over an hour, more fat could've been trimmed from it or at least have been used to elaborate on vague details of the story and maybe fix some of the plot holes. I'm glad I only Netflixed this and didn't go out of my way to see it, I probably would've been way more mad at the film if that were the case. As it stands, it's still barely worth watching.
Eye Candy: In a complete gratuitous nude scene, Shawn Carla shows her tits
My Grade: D-
