Not so much evil as stupid

Evil Aliens is an all-expenses-spared horror sci-fi slasher flick about extraterrestrial murderous rapists descending upon a Welsh island, where they encounter homicidal yokels and the eminently killable team behind a satellite TV show, Weird Worlde.

Jake West's film is played sometimes for shock value but mostly for laughs. The movie has one genuinely creative moment, as our heroes run amok among the aliens with a combine harvester to the joyous musical accompaniment of Adge Cutler and the Wurzels.

But one moment ain't enough. The film appears to have been lit with torch batteries, and directed by the visually impaired.

The acting is so terrible, even the addition of Terence Stamp to the cast might have improved it.

It reminded me of Peter Jackson's first, no-budget effort as a writer-director, the self-consciously juvenile Bad Taste.

But I cannot honestly say that I think Jake West has the potential to make a Lord Of The Rings.

On this evidence, he would be better suited to butchering.
