Alien Trespass


Australians in Film and Roadside Attractions presented a screening of Alien Trespass last night. Set in 1957, this sci-fi spoof chronicles a fiery object from space that crashes into a mountaintop in the California desert, bringing the threat of disaster to Earth. Out of the flying saucer escapes a murderous creature - the Ghota - which is bent on destroying all life forms on the planet. A benevolent alien from the spaceship, Urp, inhabits the body of Ted Lewis (Eric McCormack) - a local astronomer - and with the help of Tammy (Jenni Baird), a waitress from the local diner, sets out to save mankind. So before the Q&A began, I whispered to my friend Janine, that I saw a puddle on the floor of the lobby with a string of pearls. She said, "Really? Shut up. You're crazy." Now you will just have to see it, too. Seen here with two aliens and Greg Coates from Australians in Film.
