Combine Harvesters and Evil Aliens
Every Monday should be like today. Get up, drop kids at daycare, come home and work for a few hours, hop on your bike and see a B movie.
Evil Aliens was good gory fun. It was so campy I could have pitched a tent and roasted marshmellows. This film is part of the Midnight Madness series at the Festival--which premieres the weird, wacky and bloodsoaked. Being a mom means that midnight films are hard to swing so I caught the second showing this morning. The director/writer/producer Jake West suggested this film have a two drink minimum, but even sober it was great.
Basically aliens devoid of all morals do some nasty stuff to a band of misfits who are investigating an alien abduction. There is your usual sex scene that goes horribly awry, shot guns, anal probes, alien babies in human bodies, geeks, naysayers and doomsayers, lots of blood and a combine harvester.* Well that part isn't so usual, so use your imagination--the above photo should give you a hint.
This is the perfect movie to watch with some pals, beer and popcorn. A lovely way to start the week.
*Please oh please click the link--it's work safe I promise, but it does take a minute to download.
Being a farmer's daughter, I had to check out the combine reference - too funny! Will watch for EA to hit dvd. Have you seen (if you like camp and gore) "From Dusk til Dawn"? We just discovered/watched it about a month ago. Definitely a popcorn movie.
Thanks for the reviews!

Believe it or not I have actually seen the Wurzels perform that song live and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw your title. So cool to find a link...

Thanks for the memories of that song!! I haven't heard it since I was a kid and my dad had the Wurzles LP!

That movie sounds perfect! Hubby and I are fans of B and C grade horror, so it's right up our alley :-)

Glad you all enjoyed it. Sorry I wasn't in tune for most of it. Was great fun to do. The film will be released in January February next year. All the best Sam B. AKA Ricky from Evil Aliens.

Ever since I've seen this spectacular movie at the 'Hole in the Head' festival here in San Fran I've looked for that special song!
Thanks a million for digging it up!
