Alien Raiders

As my last non-"secret" screening of the festival, this acts as my final choice from the standard lineup. I intended to see it at a midnight screening earlier in the week, which, as it turns out, was the world premiere. The director said, "Warner Bros. calls it a 'special advanced screening', but as far as I'm concerned it's the premiere."

Aliens invading Earth. Who's been taken over and needs execution, and who's an innocent to set free? It takes a special kind to make that call, and they have set their sights on a grocery store in small-town Ohio. Alas, it was sooo obvious from the start how things would all turn out, but the story was still fun to follow. This is well worth a rental.
