Unlike contemporary sci-fi monster thrillers, which rely on unreasonably graphic gore and violence, this movie finds its feet in story and pathos.
The characters are memorable, the special effects are sublimely imperfect, even the monster has an endearing quality in its hokeyness.
The film captures the hopes, dreams, angst and fears of the 50s, and evokes not as much nostalgia but perspective.
The film is not satire, for the characters believe in themselves and their peril as seriously as we believe in ours.
Neither is it comedy, despite some truly funny moments.
The actors had a whale of a good time in their roles, although humanity is indeed threatened in Alien Trespass, we see that the essence of humanity extends far beyond our own solar system.
The story begins in 1957 in the star-filled skies above California’s Mojave Desert.
It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis, who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
In another part of town, Tammy, a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams.
But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship……
