Resident Alien

About This Movie

Resident Alien is an interesting mix of comedy and sci-fi with a touch of romance woven in. It centers on a grad student grappling with his future and a quirky tenant. They witness a UFO crash, leading to a series of bizarre encounters with some very peculiar characters, including a sheriff who seems to have his own agenda. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the charm. The practical effects are a refreshing change from today’s CGI-heavy films, giving it a unique visual style. The performances really bring out the offbeat humor and existential themes, creating a delightful atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
