Hadn’t seen this one since it came out and it’s just a total guilty pleasure movie for me. Like, it’s not good and there’s not really anything about it that matches my general taste pallet, but what can I say? I like it!
Its about a group of aliens that infiltrate a college campus in order to mate with horny virgin guys then kill them if they aren’t “the one” so it’s pretty much Species crossed with any raunchy teen “coming of age” comedy from the 00’s and hey, you gotta give it points for creativity, right?
There’s a few familiar faces...well familiar if you do nothing but watch horror movies and gave an uncanny ability to place anyone you see…
A horror film with sci-fi elements set in a wintry college town, and you've got blonde chicks from outer space. It works well for me, it wasn't bad. It's just campy and cheesy, yet entertaining for the most part. The ideas are quite creative, and the special makeup effects for alien things are fantastic.
I also loved seeing Karl from Desperate Housewives and Summer from Baywatch as detectives in it.
A couple of college guys looking to get laid come up against a group of alien sorority sisters mating and murdering humans. Surprisingly good for what is basically a low budget American Pie meets Species. But if that mix sounds dumb to you, avoid it.
Hear me out! This movie is genius. Hastings is doing a lot here with this silly B movie. Aliens can be identified by no belly button? The opening shot has all the women wearing shirts that show off their midriffs so you know they’re human. Come on, that’s just not the kind of thought put into your standard schlock. By the way Hastings goes on from here to become a very successful producer. Producing such hot TV shows as: “Eureka”, “Painkiller Jane” and the freaking “Handmaid’s Tale!”
Corey Sevier is the lead here playing a balls to the wall campy protagonist who is both conspiracy nutcase and typical frat adjacent loser. But it works as he’s just creepy enough for…
"Hi I'm Lilly. And this is my cousin Constance."
"Hola. Sorry, I have uh, an oral fixation
I literally got three minutes into this movie and realized I needed to get up and get my notepad because this was looking like it was going to take me places... And it did.
So sit down and buckle up, I'm once again letting y'all into the world of my notepad and purple glitter pen- unedited and uncut thoughts pulled directly from my noggin and transcribed on paper in real time.
"Those blondes that you met Rog? There's something seriously bent about them..."
• Starts off strong with scattered Halloween decor. Things are already in Decoy's favor.
• Melty man intro mmmm!!!
•…
early 2000s mash-up of American Pie and Species by way of Canada but it’s neither funny, gruesome or interesting — plenty of gratuitous nudity and bad CG work though and, if nothing else, you get to see a bunch of really shitty college dudes get killed by lizard women
Described as Species meets American Pie, and it surprisingly lives up to both those things. At least in the sense of a low-budget scifi-horror primed to air at 9pm on weekdays.
Film 59/90 of 😈🗑️The Devil's Dumpster: FALLing Into A Sloppy, Sweaty, Trash Horrorland 2024 - Watch a SyFy movie.
The initial concept is decent if nothing spectacular; sorority girls are suspected of being aliens who claim victims during sex for some nefarious reason. This isn’t a mystery as our lead sees tentacles spiralling from a hot blonde’s chest in the first handful of scenes.
This adds one of the slightly fresher elements, as he now contends with believing what he saw as well as convincing others, and then trying…
Day 24, Another movie that's chilly
Of course a hot girl with tentacles inbetween her blobbies is gonna be cartoon like and what better way to show this than CGI.
Mostly daft college smut laughs, also brought to mind weird science. Got me imagining the horror of what it would be like to be frozen from the inside out - oh yah bugger.
I liked the main guy at the beginning, but he drove me round the twist near the end.
Smirked my ass off at the end....I'm a bad girl....fnar fnar
Side note, I seen a cop in the side lines when they discover the hard-on dead body, at first I was like woh is that Stephen King....no mentions so I must need better glasses.
DVD cover makes it seem like it’ll be a funny bad movie and then lo and behold… it is! Gosh this happens so rarely for me. Entirely worth it for the “belt of o’fryin” line. Special shoutout to: “holy shit” “there’s nothing holy about that shit!”

I know that I have some young followers so a brief word of advice. If you are in college and an attractive cool person asks you to go to a Cronenberg festival….. say yes.
Horny aliens. This was fun. I'm not sure how well it's dated. It's kind of amazing how the lens through which I view films that were released when I was in my early 20s has altered.
That's not to say this isn't an interesting film. It has a Species/Bodysnatchers mixed with frat comedy tilt, which is occasionally jarring but it's a story thats actually told in an interesting way.
Also it's not uber-festive but it does end at Christmas, so it counts.
