OK, it boils down to this - a bunch of rednecks with shotguns are on the hunt for an alien life form, a one of a kind trailer trash sci-fi flick that defies any other characterization. It's the 'Outer Limits' buzzed on Jack Daniels, and quite coincidentally, that's the way to see this movie.
The alien itself wasn't a bad piece of work. It had a look reminiscent of the Creature From the Black Lagoon with a craggier edge. Unfortunately it's weaponry consisted of a rather bland looking space gun, theoretically powered by a white globe. At least that was the theory set forth by one of the rednecks.
I will say that the 'impending trouble' music and accompanying sound effects were about the best things the movie had to offer. Opening credits list Special Effects by 'The Cracker Factory' - of this I have no doubt.
Apparently "The Galaxy Invader" was a family affair. Besides Director Don Dohler, two cast members also share the same name. For a unique fashion statement, Joe Montague (Richard Ruxton) can't be beat; the tattered t-shirt says it all. A class act, don't you think?
Fortunately the movie does NOT make my 'Worst List'. I've been thinking about this a while and am starting to develop some criteria. To make my worst list, a film must be so genuinely bad you can't even make fun of it. On that count, this film offers laughs galore, especially when viewed with several friends.
One last thought. If you're a baseball fan and having trouble hitting the ball lately, maybe you should study Ethel Montague's form near the end of the story. Would you call that a home run?
