The making is of more value than the end product

Richard Goldsmith

Alien Voices

In a small rural village the young people have nothing to do and feel like the adults are out to spoil anything they do and not take any notice of them.  However when one of the kids uncovers an alien take-over of the village, sucking the brain waves of the residents, she must get help before it is too late.

Made by the old and young residents of the village in question, this film was seen as a way that the two generations can work together to produce something of value to both groups.  In a way that is true.  However whether or not this film is the best way to do that is up for debate.

Playing as a remake of Body Snatchers this has it&apos;s moments but really it fails under the strain of it&apos;s own amateurishness.  For example the alien in question is a tennis ball and the zombies really need a good makeup job. It has some funny moments but, for all their enthusiasm, the cast can&apos;t really act for toffee!

Overall this was probably more of a bonding experience for the community to make this film than it is for me to watch it.  If making this film helped bring the community together then good - but if it has served it&apos;s purpose then why release it?  Next time maybe they can make one that has higher values and is more enjoyable.
