Kids vs Aliens
The same night that an unexplained fiery object appears in the sky, the local police investigate the disappearance of three fishermen. Shortly afterwards, a group of teenagers celebrating a Halloween party are interrupted by a group of bloodthirsty aliens.
From that point on, a fight for survival and a rescue mission to save the lives of abducted children ensues.
Canuxploitation favorite Jason Eisener is back with his feature-length followup to the newly minted classic, "Hobo with a Shotgun" (HÕFF 2011). Utilizing elements from Spielberg and Donner’s templates, Eisener crafts a nostalgic homage to timeless childhood favorites like "The Goonies" and "Monster Squad", but spices them up with foul-mouthed dialogue and gallons of gore. A thrill-ride that doesn’t take itself too seriously, "Kids vs Aliens" is a fun take on the "Stranger Things" formula from our friends in the north. - Lori Donnelly, Fantastic Fest
