Alien Raiders (2008). Like the slow kid in class, these guys didn't have it takes to get a high score, but instead you end up cheering them on for all of their hard work to get that passing score. This was obviously a low budget flick, but instead of degenerating into a low-class splatter-fest, everyone took this one seriously, gave there best efforts, and in turn churned out a most enjoyable sci-fi. The acting was rather good for such an affair, with not a slouch in the bunch. First time director Ben Rock shows that he is more than adept at getting a story to unfold with perfect pacing and such. Inventive camera work is used to compensate for lack of dough, but this does not detract us from the story. All in all this is a worthy flick that should serve as another testament as to what filmmakers can achieve with a limited number of clams. Merci beaucoup.
