Sure, maybe it has a title straight out of a Bruce Campbell straight to Sci-Fi Channel sclockfest and sure, maybe you don't recognize any of the names on the box but please don't let any of these facts keep you away from this well done film.
.
You may not recognize the names on the box but you sure will recognize the faces once they begin popping up on screen. Tony from 24 (Carlos Benard) stars and a few other very familiar faces are along for the ride.
The film opens as a group of folks storm and rob a supermarket. It appears to be a robbery but it turns out that it is far from that. What Carlos and his crew are looking for is not money oh hell no, they are looking for aliens. Yep, I said aliens.
It seems that an interplanetary battle is about to take place and it's going to happen right here in this little country grocery store.
Once the Aliens show up this film really gets a cracking. It really is a crazy, fun, action packed film that must be seen to be believed. Director Ben Rock does an amazing job of keeping the tension high and all around great performance by all involved elevate this one way above anything that the lousy title would predict.
RAW FEED brings us this one. The special features kick some pretty major ass as well. All in all a fantastic package for a fantastic film. Here is the official press release that outlines all the pertinent info:
