Extra Terrestrian: Die Ausserirdische

About This Movie

Extra Terrestrian: Die Ausserirdische is one of those oddities that really captures that quirky vibe of 90s comedies, but with a distinct twist. Set in the Victorian era, it’s a blend of sci-fi and cheeky humor, as a female alien explores human sexuality through the lens of aristocratic society. The practical effects are charmingly dated, adding to its offbeat charm, and the performances range from delightfully absurd to genuinely heartfelt. The pacing has a leisurely quality, which sometimes works and sometimes meanders, but it’s that unpredictability that makes it stand out in a sea of more conventional films. There’s a certain audacity in its premise that feels refreshing, even if it doesn’t land all its jokes.

This film has seen limited availability over the years, often slipping under the radar of mainstream collectors. Its niche appeal, quirky premise, and unique setting have led to a modest but dedicated following among genre enthusiasts. While not widely distributed, it occasionally pops up in specialty collections and international film festivals, making it of interest for those seeking out unusual comedies from the 90s.
