The makers of
Alien Trespass would like you to believe that their film is a "lost masterpiece" from the '50s, but if this sci-fi slog had played to movie houses back then, it might have just been seen as another by-the-numbers rip-off of more popular pictures of that time. Bringing very little to the table in terms of throwback effects (most are very obviously quite modern) or the kind of unintentional humor of drive-in monster movie fare that one would expect, this straight-faced send-up falls dead in its tracks, much the same way its one-eyed monster turns its victims to gelatinous goo. As an experiment, it's admirable, yet one has to wonder who else besides...
