Even the brightest canary cannot escape the shadows of its cage.
Decent low budget effort, also known as Alien Party Crashers. I would watch a sequel.
Day 6. Begins with my 1st initial.
Wait what even year is it? The time looping got to me. I liked that slant on the story.
Trust the fishermen to mutate. What a bad design those nails are.
That New Year's party sucked baws.
Never mess with a Welshman's tash.

Someone did a great deal with selling yellow raincoats, rubber gloves and marshmallow sticks !
Alien Invasion movie from the UK that falls flat on every level. The horror, the comedy, the acting (besides Robert Pugh's performance) doesn't stick with me and wasn't that memorable. Maybe material for a short movie, but this wasn't going anywhere ! Hope this one isn't getting a follow-up !
Seek out Jake West's "Evil Aliens" instead !
There are a bunch of really nice ideas in CANARIES but sadly it ultimately feels a bit too ambitious for its own good. For a low budget film, it ultilises the essential story telling objects and uses them to craft interest, laughs and depth but perhaps more so than it allows itself scope for. It has a well written script and actors who can deliver but the characters they portray don’t add up to the ideas in place. Most are unlikable or not maximised and end up falling by the wayside of the often confused genre script. It’s attempts to be both serious and comedic start off well but feel torn at the end. The alien fisherman make for a…
Canaries, or Alien Party Crashers, is many things, but a good film isn't one of them. I'll cut it some slack for being an independent horror project out of the UK, but even then, there are so many of those that are fantastic. This is a sci-fi flick set on New Year's Eve, where aliens invade some party, and the quality is so inconsistent, it'll make your head spin. Some of this looks fresh and fine, but some of this looks lower than the apparent budget they had. Also wasn't that funny, either. Oh well. At least it was short. I really hope this isn't my last watch of the evening.
A DJ is trying to throw a raging New Year's Eve party in Wales to impress an investor. Aliens throw a spanner in the works by dropping some of their human replications on them. They are easy to spot as they wear yellow rain coats and have very long fingers. As our party goers attempt to flee we get some British intelligence agents trying to deal with the situation. This is attempting a story way above its budget, with the most interesting things just hinted at. We even end with a to be continued title card as the survivors driving under huge saucer ships. Serious X-Files vibes are achieved.
Day 42, movie 44 for the Horror Movies for the Holidays Challenge.
Absolute rubbish, people dressed in normal clothes wearing contact lenses, yellow raincoats, and yellow rubber gloves with wooden fingers like freddy kruger, really come on, turned off after 40 minutes. Another sky premier crap film.
A new addition in the New Years Evil category. Canaries (also known by the much weaker title, “Alien Party Crashers”) tells intersecting stories, the first of a group of scientists rushing to discover the location of an upcoming UFO event. The second, a sad last ditch New Years Eve party in a small Welsh town turns deadly when former alien abductees return horribly altered and out for blood.
It’s a fun little horror-comedy that does well with what it has. There are some missteps but there are also some great scenes, laughs, and at least one shocking death.
Ein kleines Inseldorf, welches auf den Namen LOWER -gibts wirklich- CWMTWRCH hört, steht unter außerirdischer Belagerung. So richtig aufgemischt wird die Silvesterfete einiger Waliser aber erst, als Menschen vom Himmel fallen.
Für Low Budget Verhältnisse durchaus mit einem brauchbaren Stil versehen, besitzen die ansehnlichen Außenaufnahmen verschärfte Kontraste und die gelben Regenmäntel der "Aliens" hohen Stylefaktor. Alles andere wirkt recht dilettantisch (zB reguläre Gartenhandschuhe mit spitzen Fingern als Alien-FX) und der Musikeinsatz stark überdramatisiert. CANARIES ist aber ohnehin mit einem gehörigen Augenzwinkern unterwegs und für saublöde Schmunzler zu haben. Der ehemalige Geografielehrer/Pub-Besitzer/Sheriff agiert schon durchgeknallt bevor das echte Chaos ihn überhaupt dazu veranlassen könnte und die Partygäste sind für amüsante Anwandlungen zu haben: "Das ist mein Versteck! Verpiss Dich."
Schlicht aber…
I thought Christmas horror movies were bad but gosh most New Year Horror is worse… oof…
Imaginez les aliens arrivent et c'est juste des mecs en k-way supplément manucure

Now known as Alien Party Crashers this movie by Welsh writer/director Peter Stray tells the tale of a New Year's Eve bash in the Welsh Valley that suddenly finds itself battling an invasion force made up of time-traveling aliens. It's the first movie to ever be filmed in the Welsh valley of Lower Cwmtwrch, although a few scenes are shot in the same shooting locations of Jaws in Martha's Vineyard.
DJ Steve Dennis has returned home to Cwmtwrch, Wales to get some new investors and host a New Year's Eve Party. Coincidentally, that's the very night that aliens bring together decades of abductions to begin their invasion.Steve's not a hero by his own admission and this gets shown numerous times…
