So, 'The Day They Came' is one of those low-budget sci-fi flicks that really tries to stretch the genre's boundaries. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but there's a certain charm in its awkwardness. The atmosphere is heavy; this ordinary guy watching an alien invasion unfold is just so relatable. It has this gritty feel, mostly practical effects that lend it a raw edge, which I appreciate. The performances? They range from decent to a bit wooden, but that just adds to the film's unique character. You can tell they were going for something thought-provoking amidst the chaos, exploring themes of fear and the unknown, even if it doesn’t fully land.
