Alien Intervention (2023)
A low key gem on Roku
Per my husband's request one night we decided to go on Roku and see what the content was like. As we don't have an account we got a list of films that could be streamed for free and because I like sci fi we decided on this. And honestly I was so surprised and happy because there's no guns, there's no super dark themes and there's an alien being who likes hip hop from the 90s. I mean maybe the beginning was a bit slow but I thought all the characters were interesting, even the jerk husband, and I loved the ending and how it didn't wrap everything up in a little bow for you the way so many films do these days. Really fun and would recommend this for the whole family.

How is this film not way bigger?
I'm a big IFC Midnight fan- now Shudder I guess, and somehow the algorithm brought me to this title, and as it's totally unknown and random I decided to watch with a bit of an eye roll thinking at the very least I'd be contributing to Indie Film even if I hated it, but man, this is pretty much one of the more enjoyable films I've seen in the past five or so years. It's totally straightforward, told with honesty and quirkiness, and it really left me with a lot to think about. This is a prime example of how Indie can outdo a big studio because in this film it was just a writer telling the story how he wanted to tell it. No executives getting in the way saying it doesn't have enough big timely hot button themes, no special effects, no overly convoluted camera shots.
Just easy smooth filmmaking. I consider myself lucky being led to this film. Hope others find it as well and enjoy it as much as me.
