“Too easy,” Mikey said. “Just pour milk over it, Mr. Alien.”
Explorer From Another World (2024) might be a vanity project, or it might be a family project, given the number of actors sharing the same surname. It is certainly an affectionate spoof of the B-list science fiction movies of the 1950s. What we have here is an alien invasion story, featuring a heavily armed, sadistic alien that makes one simple error and loses their gamble.
We’re not talking profound drama here, folks. Scenery chewing, a trifling of bad dialog poorly delivered, parody of the special effects of decades ago, they all come together to deliver a slightly squirmy forty to fifty minutes of a small town reacting to the alien who has little interest in preserving the natives’ old ways.
And that’s not the worst thing in the world.
