The Alien (film #13 on Monster Kid Home Movies DVD (PPS Group, 2005)). [Category: Outtakes & Obscurities]

In another version of The Alien, a bug-eyed alien roams around a forest killing fat guys who live in trailers. Not only that, but its rampage also includes knocking over trashcans. One fat guy manages to get away in his car, but the fat guy who uses a gun on the alien is faked out. Credits are done in ballpoint pen on notebook paper. This truly has the feel of a kid’s production, and the fat guys in the trailers, who were probably the director’s neighbors look like they’re having a good time. I’m not sure how old the director was, but it looks like he saw plenty of scenes of dead people in the movies, considering the lingering shots of the alien’s victims in this production. As usual, this is lots of fun.
