The first thing which I noticed about Alien Beasts was that it is clearly a low, low budget film. I thought to myself "Oh, no! Another crap movie!".
But the more I watched the more I loved it! The director and star Carl Sukenick has amazing imagination and courage. It's actually his lack of polish that makes this movie so great. I could never predict what would happen next. The cast seems to be having lots of fun making the movie, and the plot's spontaneous twists and turns kept me laughing and involved almost all the time. I couldn't exactly tell if Mr. Sukenick was playing his film for thrills or for fun, but that's not bad, it's good. It felt fresh and lively.
I know some of the other reviewers disliked this film, but I think they just didn't get what makes Alien Beasts so special. I recommend that they watch it again with fresh eyes. Mr. Sukenick is a true original and so is this film. I know that I'll be watching it again.
