Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Please change the title! The title is a spoiler. If the movie had a different title, the viewer would have been wandering for 35 minutes "what the h*** is going on!" The audience sees a group of thieves? Terrorists? One of them touches their heads. One of the hostages is killed, the other not. Why?With that title, I was just waiting for the monster to get out from someone's body. And that's what happens.The movie is not that bad. Acting is pretty good and cinematography too. The script sometimes repeats itself.My favorite line is Cop: You were infected?Charlotte: - Yeah. Didn't take. Too much "better living through chemistry" screws them up real good. The only problem is you gotta keep using to keep them from taking over.Cop : That's the best druggie excuse I've heard.

The only thing you need to ask yourself when deciding whether or not to watch a film called 'Alien Raiders' is… do I like the sound of a film called 'Alien Raiders?' If the answer is 'Yes' then you'll probably get something out of it. However, if the answer is a, 'No – that sounds like one of those cheap B-movies you see in baskets at petrol stations for £3,' then you're probably better off passing this one by.It's one of those films like 'Snakes on a Plane' where you basically know what you're getting from the title. It's about a group of aliens (who look human to save on special effects) who are tracking down a bad alien and take a group of humans hostage in a supermarket while they try and figure out who's infected.It starts off slow, but picks up pace about half way through. And then it becomes a reasonable little B-movie. So, for anyone with a taste for sci-fi who isn't expecting 'Avatar-like' special effects, you may just get an hour and twenty minutes (cheap) amusement out of this.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

When i thought of watching it, i read the IMDb basic story line first. It was OK. The beginning few minutes of the movie was alright. But, what followed is totally lame. The script makes you ask so many questions on why the hell are they doing stupid things. Just for going on they act stupidly. It gets so boring after wards. I never fast forward any movie. God! I did it in this movie. And the ending, as expected. Such a waste of time.There are many low-budget movies which are taken so well. This is definitely not one of those. I don't know what to say, don't watch it.Final verdict : Ignore this. People who say that this movie is great, i don't know what to say about it. Watch it or Miss it? Definitely go for the latter option.

******THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE. DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU DON"T WANT TO BE SUSPRISED****** While the movie plot was alright, the acting was extremely poor in the ending, with some defects in the middle (they didn't notice the man had gone for the gun until after several scenes. there is also a large gap in the story on how the "infestation" came to be, or how the hero's first noticed them. in the ending of the movie, an infected man (the man with all the blood and the very deformed face) was trying to kill one of the hero's at the end of the movie with half a dozen police just watching the fight. then the main hero decides to rip out the parasite and seems to be trying to keep it from his chest(again, no officer interference) then he says shoot it, and they blast him and the alien parasite, and then the woman hero takes up a gun that had dropped and puts a few rounds in his chest. (again, no police interference). then the "king" parasite attacks one of the hostage charters. to be honest, its something I will not watch again. the story is loose, the acting of the main charters is alright, but in the end, with due respect, its better then a lot of movies I've seen on the Wilmar $1 rack. hope this helps
