In this After Dark Horrorfest-SyFy Channel collaboration, two teams of reporters are given limited access to Area 51 after the military buckles under constant political pressure. Meanwhile, sinister aliens hidden away in the secret areas of the base use this as an opportunity to escape.
The best things that can be said about this film is that they hired a competent cinematographer, and that it does not bore. Otherwise, it is standard SyFy Original Feature garbage. The effects are the worst of the worst and cliche.
The dialogue may have been written by a seventh grader who has played too much Xbox. Anything cool from any other alien movie is present here but not done well in the slightest. I am sure the writers' table banter went something like this:
"Hey remember that cool shot in 'Alien' when Harry Dean Stanton looks up at the Xenomorph and the water ran over its teeth before it bit him? Well, let's do that shot in our movie. Ooh I know, let's give them cool heat vision like the Predators have. Yeah and we should also have a scene where everyone has to be tested in the room to figure out which one is the alien like in 'The Thing'."
For what it's worth, the actors seemed to have fun making this movie, but that type of fun in film making should be left on Youtube and out of the theaters and rental stores.
