What You Need To Know:
ALIEN TRESPASS is deliberately campy. This often can be kind of stupid and boring, but it’s not here. It’s actually quite fun and comical, especially if you have a fondness for all those low-budget science fiction movies of the 50s. ALIEN TRESPASS is also very clean, unlike most other recent Hollywood spoofs. It nearly perfectly captures the innocence in many 1950s science fiction movies meant for family audiences. There is a hint, however, that, before Tammy learns an alien has taken over his body, she has romantic feelings for the married astronomer, Ted.

More Detail:
ALIEN TRESPASS is a campy tribute to low-budget 1950s science fiction movies. The good news is that it’s a pretty clean comedy spoof, unlike many others that Hollywood makes these days.
The movie opens by pretending to be a movie that the producer refused to release, in a phony newsreel footage. The movie within a movie opens in 1957 in the Mojave Desert. Astronomer Ted Lewis is preparing a special anniversary barbecue for his beautiful adoring wife Lana. They see what seems to be a huge shooting star or fiery meteor land in the distant butte behind their home.
On the other side of town, the waitress at the local diner, Tammy, sees the same shooting star. So do two teenagers parked at a nearby lovers’ lane.
Cut to the butte, where a tall, metallic alien named Urp emerges from a flying saucer. Urp is an intergalactic policeman. He discovers that the menacing one-eyed monster, Ghota, he had imprisoned on the ship has escaped.
The next morning, Dr. Lewis finds the spaceship. Urp takes over his body to re-capture the alien monster, who intends to feed on earth people so he can divide into thousands of monsters and pillage the planet.
Marshall Urp enlists the aid of Tammy, who is the only human willing to believe in him. The local police, however, are skeptical about reports of a monster on the loose. They come to believe that Dr. Lewis is melting the townspeople with some kind of experimental acid.
ALIEN TRESPASS is deliberately campy. This often can be kind of stupid and boring, but it’s not here. It’s actually quite fun and comical, especially if you have a fondness for all those low-budget science fiction movies of the 50s.
ALIEN TRESPASS is also very clean. It nearly perfectly captures the innocence in many 1950s science fiction movies meant for family audiences. There is a hint, however, that, before Tammy learns an alien has taken over his body, she has romantic feelings for the married astronomer, Ted. When she learns about Marshall Urp taking over Ted’s body, she kisses him.
