The problem with this movie is not that it is science fiction, nor that it is horror, nor even that it is a comedy. The problem is that it is also a musical. Its budget is a problem as well. Cub scout troops have bigger budgets than this film.
Review Snippet:
The best part of the film has to be Abdulla alarming a number of stout female customers with his unorthodox meat processing methods as he sings about being the “Big Meat Eater.” I almost got into the movie, and then the women (who are about as attractive as sacks of potatoes wearing granny blouses) all start rubbing their necks and chests.
Damn you, film! What do you want from me? Disgust? You’ve got it! Suffering? Present, in abundance! My blood? You…actually, you cannot have that. I need it
Lesson Learned:
Beef is an adhesive.

Andrew, I don’t know why you only gave this one slime. That song clip alone had to be worth one more.
Then again, I didn’t sit through the whole movie…

I saw this at T-Fest a couple of years ago. I can’t say it’s good, but it’s definitely unlike anything I’ve seen before. It was interesting, I’ll give it that.
Abdulla(h) and the “aliens” pretty much carried the movie for me. Without them it would have been much worse.

You really have to watch the entire movie to get a complete feel for it. Rev D.D. is right when he says that Abdulla and the aliens are its redeeming factors. I almost enjoyed Mr. Sanderson’s character as well. However, anybody else, including the often-on-the-screen Wczinskis, were absolute comedy anguish.

I saw the screenshot, and I thought, “Hey, looky there: they’ve managed to animate the shadow of Alfred Hitchcock as a character in the movie! Isn’t that clever?”
Oh, the disappointment.

Yeah, Mr. Sanderson is pretty OK. I forgot that I was rather delighted with his singing at the beginning and end of the film, although I have no logical reason for this.
Braineater–Seriously, someone needs to give you a budget. Your head is filled with ideas for movies I would totally watch.
