Picked up Invasion Earth: The Aliens Are Here today from my local Poundland. Despite the IMDB reviews, I found it to be a very good and enjoyable film!

Oh dear gods! Time for a public service announcement. People, stay away from Invasion Earth! it is just terrible. I like bad movies I really do. I go out of my way to find the real stinkers but Invasion Earth is just garbage.

From my movie diary after rewatching it.

There are many contenders for the title of The Worst Film Ever Made but Invasion Earth: The Aliens Are Here is my preferred candidate for the title. It's shit. To quote my own IMDb review:

A second viewing some four years later hasn't improved it in the slightest. The central gag of the movie is almost good enough pass muster. I can hear the pitch now: "Aliens take over a small movie house and splice together footage from old SF movies to hypnotise the audience into.... er... well, we'll work out why later. But how about it? It'll be cheap!" They got the money but never did work out the why. Most of the movie's running time is taken up with cheap clips from older (much more interesting) bad old movies (or, even cheaper, their trailers) intercut with 'comedic' moments of people falling over and accidentally throwing popcorn over each other, and fantastically absurd and badly handled attempts to parallel (parody?) the action in the old movie on the screen with action in the cinema house itself; near the start there is a particularly incomprehensible sequence which intercuts between footage from The Blob, in which the titular blob* takes over a movie house, and the aliens taking over the movie house in which the clip from The Blob is being shown. It doesn't work. I have no idea what it was supposed be doing. Whatever it was the movie makers thought they were doing here, they failed. This is not uncommon in bad movies but most of the time you have an idea what the makers were trying to do.

*Not a phrase you get to write that often.

When they was ringing them through the till the bottom four pictured were coming up as recalled and they wouldn't sell them to me, I asked if they could just ring some of the others again and they said no so I asked to talk to the manager, some scrawny supervisor came over, he went on to say they must have been recalled because they are faulty and said I couldn't have them, I then asked to speak to the real manager who happily sold them to me.

It's obvious why they were pulled from sale though, there's no certs on them

No Idea, but you may want to import FANTASM as the UK release has been butchered by the bbfc:

Title « British Board of Film Classification
