This past week we watched "The Alien Factor" I found this movie while perusing the depths of Hulu during one of my movie watches a few months ago. Kinda tossed it in the back of my mind and then stumbled across it again.
Director and writer: Don Dohler
Stars:
Don Leifert as Ben Zachary
Tom Griffith as Sheriff Cinder
Plot:
A spaceship with an extraterritorial zoo crashes on Earth near a redneck town, how could this go wrong!
Review: This was Don Dohlers first credited movie. He did revise it later in the 1982 movie "NightBeast" and later in 1982's "Aliens Factor 2" Both of which failed horribly. The thing is, Don Dohlers is not credited enough. As a low-budget film maker, Dohler did some really great work. His work has that capture you anyway feeling about them. Infectious and raw at the same time. So I am going to take this time, as a horror and sci-fi junkie, just to appreciate this movie for what it is; A great, low-budget film, that we all can have fun with!
And speaking of fun, The #LateNightMovie gang had a great amount of fun! The quips were awesome!
