Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Joe Bridge The next plan from outer space (plan 10? 11? 12 1/2?) involves a small group of aliens with white eyebrows. This helps the viewer to understand that they are aliens and not human, although many old HUMANS I have seen do indeed have white eyebrows. Oh well, they tried. Though they come from a distant galaxy, they somehow are able to use (primarily) human blood to heal their illness, and this involves harvesting humans with the government's permission. They hold lotteries, apparently, to see who is going.The makeup is atrocious - some sort of bluish price-reduction sticker on their cheeks and some sort of mossy-coloured squashed play-doh stuck on their neck. I almost expected to see newspaper hats. One Adams-family-like alien talks in a completely different manner and accent than the others. His voice also has such a high, hissy lisp, it is almost above the range of human hearing. I had to really focus and turn the volume up every time he spoke. It was akin to an animated snake reading Gothic poetry. Somehow, he even lisped letters like "b" and "k"...The most hilarious scene in this movie in when the alien tapes a girl's mouth shut with duct tape. This utterly ridiculous scene should really be put on a special compilation video of bad Science Fiction. So... not only do aliens from a distant galaxy have duct tape, they also carry it on their person just in case a human starts talking and annoys them, apparently.The other funniest thing is that when a car (or space ship) is shot with the laser weapon, it somehow turns into a flying cluster of metal storm gutters and other random bits.A lot of strange stuff going on in this movie, yet not quite hilarious enough to invest too much time in it... Watch Marvin the Martian shorts instead, I think he uses the same weapons.

JaynaB This could have been a hidden gem under the withered hide of a really dead horse. It was neither jewel nor offal, but something in the middle of the made-for-TV SF oeuvre.With expectations that low, I was pleasantly surprised to find the ideas behind the script - the themes, as it were - a bit more intelligent than usual. And the effects were not spectacular, but not bad either.Sadly, the dialogue sucked. Fortunately, there wasn't much of it. A couple of seriously cheese-eating statements of patriotic duty would have any of the serving military I grew up with rolling in the aisles. Handsful of short, declarative sentences, some unbelievably clichéd, interrupt the fairly standard action sequences. No long-winded monologues from either the heroes or the villains; that's gotta count as a plus.The acting was about as bad as you'd expect, but erring on the side of less emoting rather than more; another minimalist plus.Overall, not as bad as many I've seen, and slightly better than I was led to expect by the wildly varied reviews prior to mine.

lost-in-limbo An alien race invades earth and holds it hostage in exchange for millions of human lives to save their species from a lethal virus. How it's decided is that people are chosen for this fate by some sort of lottery system organised by the world government, but a scientist, Steven Chase tries to save the life of his daughter, who has been accepted. He joins a resistance and they go out of their way to fight off the harvest."Alien Blood" is a cheap looking TV feature that's simply very lackadaisical and dead flat when it comes to the thrills. This story is one man's quest to save his daughter's life, and by the way maybe the rest of mankind along the way. Reading a lot of the reviews and I see it takes quite a bagging. Although I don't think it's extremely awful, but still it's bad. Plain and simple, the material was just far from stimulating, despite a decent concept. What we ended up with it is far from clever and unpredictable. The film's production looked glossy, but came across as quite shallow and mostly unexciting. When it gets going it just seems to rush on by, but it doesn't cover too much ground behind some workable facets that are brought up. It might think there's some sort of deep message within its material, but all I got was extreme corn and laughable dialogues. The insipid dribble they fumble out will choke you to death! Oh my, it was way too talkative with such wretched details and not to BRIGHT actions (just wait for the last 10 minutes!).The direction is by the numbers and performances are pretty stilted. Brad Johnson was terribly uninspired in the lead role as Steven Chase and the foxy Erin Ross plays his daughter Heather. Yep, even Carl Weathers didn't get up too much. Watch out for the stiff looking aliens that look like they are dressed up in white business shirts and black trousers. Special effects were fine I guess for such a production, but they can only do so much and it wasn't enough here.An undemanding Sci-fi yarn that pretty much had me yawning more often.

Bob O`Bob I watched this partly because of the huge gap between the positive and negative reviews here on IMDb.It's hard for me to believe that there's anyone PAYING IMDb reviewers to pump up the reviews for anything at all, much less a relatively low budget made-for-sciffy-channel waste of time. But hey, since you're obviously out there somewhere, drop me a line, I could use the spare change... Okay, just kidding.But it's terrible. Of course you'll probably need to make your own decision, but when you do, count my vote on the "for goodness' sake DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME" side. I hope for your sake reading these reviews is ALL the time you waste on this movie.The ONLY positive I can think of is that SOME of the acting wasn't horrible. All the special effects are, most of the writing is (some of it's merely mediocre), and although I don't consider myself much of a judge of directing or cinematography, it certainly isn't good enough to redeem this turkey.
