Areola 51

About This Movie

Areola 51 is this quirky sci-fi flick that dives into the absurd with its premise of alien abduction and government cover-ups. The film feels a bit like a satirical take on classic alien narratives, mashed with a bizarre sexual exploration theme. Tara Simmons, our grad student protagonist, is surprisingly relatable, and her recounting of the experience is both amusing and rather unsettling at times. The pacing can be uneven, but it adds to that off-kilter vibe. Practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm, giving it that low-budget indie feel. It’s the kind of film that leaves you scratching your head but also chuckling at the audacity of its concept.
