Very well executed

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Let's all be clear about this, this is a low budget movie. How low you might ask? Hmm, I think slightly above what college kids are doing in film making. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against low budget movies, there have been quite a few low budget movies I've seen that I've enjoyed. However, regardless of how much was paid to make the movie, a movie needs a good story, good acting, decent effects, etc., nothing of which was present in this horrible feature. You got druggies, alcoholics, dumb people, no real characters to speak of. The so called expert goes around dressed like a teenager; Huh? Are we to believe that she is a master scientist? The Sheriff is only one brick higher in intelligence than his lain-brain deputy. So what happens in the movie? I dunno. Was there a message in the movie? I dunno. Is there any point to the movie? None that I can discern. So if you take away the non-existent story, terrible acting, poor directing, what are you left with? 1.5 hours of your life that you won't lose like I did.

Well, I'm a horror fan and like good movies about monstrous aliens, but this is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The story is non-existent, the actors are very bad and the number of the mistakes is appalling. In the middle of the night you can see everything. In one moment it is day, the next it is night. In one moment a guy is shot and dies, the next he fights with the monster. And the monster... this is some kind of a joke. But it wasn't funny. It is so painfully obvious that it is a guy in a rubber suit, with rubber mask. The infants of the alien 51 (who actually was not an alien) were even more pathetic. In conclusion: do not watch this movie. To the directors: try better next time.

There is really no reason to see this movie. I picked it up online for about 5 bucks and decided to watch it with some friends; we're into watching the sort of horrible movie that's pathetically entertaining. Sadly for us, and anyone who should have the misfortune to see this junk, Alien 51 is just bad. I want to stress the fact that it's not entertainingly bad, because often when I see a movie reviewed here as "awful" or "the worst movie ever," I'll get stoked and go rent it, hoping to be able to laugh at it. Alien 51 has very little going for it.The plot revolves around a creature which has escaped from Area 51 and is on the loose in the desert. It might not actually be an alien, but the back story is never fully explained, so I don't know. Cleo, a woman who played some part in the creation of the creature, is brought in to deal with it. She runs into trouble when a traveling freak show has its own designs on the monster. Various scenes of gore ensue.The only good thing about Alien 51 is that the music was actually pretty good. It was poorly arranged, often drowning out the actors or totally inappropriate for the mood of the scene, but the tunes themselves were decent. Everything else was trash. The camera-work is amateurish at best and fails to follow some basic tenets of photography (like not shooting directly into a light source). The editing is confusing. The acting is terrible, but the actors weren't given much to work with - the script is an abomination. Many of the characters are downright annoying. To top it all off, the movie has an ending that is completely nonsensical and entirely unsatisfying. I won't ruin it for you, but if I did, you wouldn't be missing much.The bottom line: don't see this. Alien 51 is dull, poorly done, and not entertaining.

This was a painful movie to watch. The acting makes you wince like fingernails over the top of your car. Heidi Fleiss was atrocious to the point of being criminal, the dialog was trifling and unorganized, and the "alien" was the same horrible cheesy crap-fest of a special effects career-breaker that was featured in "El Chupacabra." If it's not the same monster, it's his twin brother. Jeez.If anything could have saved this attempt, it would have been the (only sometimes decent) photography. But that was its strongest component, and it was so flaccid, it never even partially achieved the theatrical erection.It's a "B" movie and rates a 2.5/10 on the "B" scaleThat's about a 0.8/10 on the "A" scale, from...the Fiend :.
