There's low budget movie-making, no budget movie-making, there's guerrilla movie-making, and, somewhere even lower than that, 'baboon' film-making*.
And then there's The Alien Conspiracy: Grey Skies.
After a straight to camera prologue setting the 'background' story about some long-waged war between alien species fought out in current day America, there follows a series of shots (to call it a 'montage' would debase the word) of Saturn rockets taking off that looks like it was shot by pointing a camera at a TV screen. After that three, totally unrelated, short movies punctuated by irrelevant literary quotes. All are so shoddily made and badly shot that sometimes the only things visible on screen are the smears on the camera lens.
There are a few minor amusing moments here, but nothing that any hour of amateur improv wouldn't supply and none are worth the pain of watching the rest of the show.
The only thing to be said in favour of this miserable excuse for a movie is that it makes the average Asylum product look like a masterpiece.
*Thanks Dedee!
