Alien Child - Q.F.X

Advantages: GREAT FILM
Disadvantages: NONE

...Alien. A true classic and still as fresh today as when it was made in 1979. We follow the crew of the Nosromo, a deep space mining vessel as it has its return journey interupted by a unknown signal from an unexplored world. They investigate the signal and one of the crew ends up with his face covered by an alien creature. this later falls off but the damage has all ready been done. Shortly afterwards an alien bursts from John Hurts stomache and then the alien slug grows into an enormous 9ft killing machine. What happens from this point on I will not divulge here, surely you've seen it? The film began a huge 'alien' type spin offs and clone type films. But none ever to match the original. The only negative from a personal point of view was it was all too dark. The special effects are nothing special but the performances from... Read review

Advantages: A brilliant film

Gathering the rest of the Pearson children, along with any household items they can pass of as weaponry, the family must battle against the aliens and try to... Read review

Disadvantages: The decoy look and effects

...Decoys 2 is a 2007 film directed by Jeffrey Lando (never heard of him). It is a straight to DVD sequel to a not so well known film and I really wasn't expecting a lot from it. Especially after reading the blurb which gives the gist that sexy female aliens are going about seducing men so they can lay their eggs. This sounded like one of those really trashy films that's all about getting as many sex scenes into a film as possible with a very weak story line pulling them together. I hadn't seen the first film and I was expecting to just take a quick look at this film and watching something else but I was pleasantly surprised as it was quite good. The film starts and two teenagers are kissing in the back of the car as they start to undress the girl's stomach bursts open and all these tentacles jump out and down the guy's throat. Then we...
