Alien Raiders - Scott Miller - 03-11-2009
I watch a great many abyssmal to mediocre low budget horror movies to discover the few real gems that are out there and Alien Raiders is one of those gems. Not quite a new classic it is nonetheless an excellent little hostage/horror hybrid-think Dog Day Afternoon meets The Hidden(another gem). The first half of the movie is great as a heavily armed crew take over a small town grocery, then there is a slight lull before a pretty solid conclusion. The acting is better than most 'B' fare as is the writing.
