Kids vs. Aliens

2023 ·1h 15m · ★ 5.3 (82)

All Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend, an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night.

Why it matters

A throwback-fueled alien invasion tale that channels the raw energy of ‘80s and ‘90s teen party horrors with a modern DIY spirit.

  • Practical effects and creature designs lean into nostalgia, delivering messy, tactile alien mayhem without slick CGI gloss.
  • Feels like a lost Troma flick filtered through a Blumhouse sensibility—perfect for fans of schlocky, fun-first sci-fi horror.
  • The sibling dynamic adds unexpected heart amid the chaos, grounding the chaos in familiar coming-of-age stakes.
  • Not subtle or polished, but that rough-edged charm is exactly the point for viewers craving unpretentious, throwback genre thrills.
