Teenagers from Outer Space

Actors: David Love, Dawn Bender, Bryan Grant, Harvey B. Dunn, Tom Graeff, King Moody
Rating: 2 out of 10, My forage through bad cinema continued with exactly what I hoped for during this trek through mediocrity. Bad acting, bad writing, obviously shot on a shoe string budget with an unintentional comedy content through the roof. A desk sized flying saucer lands and a whole troop of young men emerge and deploy alien technology with clear English names printed on them. Their masking tape adorned space suits and sock covered “space boots” only compliment the delightful ridiculousness. They’ve arrived to use Earth as the breeding ground for their chosen food – lobsters of abnormal size and growth rates. Derek (I’m serous) breaks away and is pursued into town by Thor (the alien ray gun wielder not the god). Derek falls for Betty while Thor turns everyone he meets into a skeleton. You can probably figure out where it heads from there. It was fun to watch 1959 California pass by (literally) as the movie was shot – just so bad.

MVP: David Love as the very conflicted Derek
