Yeah these guys aren\'t taking over a mound of dirt. A handful of little and very inept ETs come to Earth to mess up the holidays for a family. Little did they know, they aren\'t good at anything.

So its a super 0 budget film that is put together by the Polonia brothers as part of their long running series of hobby films. That might turn quite a few people off but somehow this one that should cause some nausea manages to maintain a level of charm throughout. There\'s no sense of "I\'m making the next Gone with the Wind" ego that comes with similar film makers, like Neil Breen or Tommy Wiseau. There\'s also no garbage hot take like you get with James Nguyen. There\'s just this sense that they wanted to have fun making a movie and that comes across very clearly.

The acting is probably the best/worst (says you!) part of the film as everyone cannot deliver a single line. It\'s not Troll 2 bad but it nears its level and is just a few really bad lines of dialogue away. There\'s just not enough opportunity for anyone to really blow it. But blow it they still do and its great. Second to that is the nonsensical plot that leaves the viewer wondering what the heck the aliens goal even is, let alone how they mastered interstellar travel. I\'m these little buggers are so incredibly stupid and manage to get themselves killed more than anything. How its possible there is a body count of 3 here is beyond me as its not really clear how these guys harm anyone. I guess they are bitey? Also are they eating people? Who can tell? Lastly, the effects are atrocious as the aliens themselves look terrible and the post-production done with Video Toaster is the stuff of your local TV station making car lot commercials 20 years ago.

Its not for everyone but this will fall into the "its so bad its good" category for many fans of the genre; myself included.
