WOW
THIS MOVE IS AMAZING! As soon as this movie starts up you know its not the same as any other alien movie. Basically a load of aliens have for some unknown reason, come to our planet. When we found them they were starved and weak. We kept them prisoner basically in slums and camps to try and find a way to use their weapons, which will only work when used by one of the aliens. So yeah, not your average alien film. Without giving too much away a reporter is going through one of the aliens stuff as they are checking for weapons etc and finds a tube of liquid. He accidentally sprays this liquid on his face and slowly starts to turn into one of the aliens. You can see why the government would now be interested in this person so they try to track him down while he tries to stay alive basically. This movie is really excellent and I could watch it again and again.

Expectations Met !
I had read sooo many top reviews about this film that I decided to buy it. WOW ! I really enjoyed it, a story line different from most sci-fi alien movies with excellent special effects considering it is a low budget movie. It's an emotional roller coaster with several twists and turns, I love the documentary / movie mix and the hand held camera style like in cloverfield. You wont be disapointed if you watch, but you might be if you dont.
