Ok, I can’t say this is a great movie, but it scores pretty high for originality. In a kind of “Home Alone” meets “Invasion Of The Body Snatchers”, a girl living in an isolated house single-handedly fights an alien invasion that has taken over her town. More clever than awesome, and arguably just plain silly at times, it’s nonetheless supported by very decent cinematography, a script that adds just enough original elements to keep it from becoming either a stale home-invasion movie or a stale fighting-space-aliens movie, and most notably, only 3 words of dialogue in the movie’s over-90-minute runtime. Reading up afterwards, apparently it created quite a critical stir, and that makes sense. Even though it’s got more style than substance, that style does stand out as something kind of different than I’ve seen before. Apparently it’s the same guy who wrote and directed “The Babysitter”, one I wasn’t as crazy about, IIRC it leaned a little to heavy on just being silly.
