The earth has a history of alien visits and abductions. The latest episode is about to take place at a 2015 New Year's party in Cwmtwrch, Wales. (Can I buy a vowel?) The party is small and is soon under attack by men in yellow raincoats and "claws." What they did was attach rubber claws to a blue glove which made it look like it couldn't perform the function of killing.

The party crowd had a decent sense of humor which made the film worth a view. However, the comedy was not overpowering.

Now known as Alien Party Crashers this movie by Welsh writer/director Peter Stray tells the tale of a New Year's Eve bash in the Welsh Valley that suddenly finds itself battling an invasion force made up of time-traveling aliens. It's the first movie to ever be filmed in the Welsh valley of Lower Cwmtwrch, although a few scenes are shot in the same shooting locations of Jaws in Martha's Vineyard.

DJ Steve Dennis has returned home to Cwmtwrch, Wales to get some new investors and host a New Year's Eve Party. Coincidentally, that's the very night that aliens bring together decades of abductions to begin their invasion.Steve's not a hero by his own admission and this gets shown numerous times in the film, including a scene where he tries to escape a one night stand by quoting The Terminator before getting called out on it (that said, your author once successfully did so with a line from Pee-wee's Big Adventure).

The alien/human hybrids are effective when left to the shadows and stalking their prey. Once they're in the light, these yellow jacketed zombies aren't as imposing. They do, however, cut the New Year's party to shreds with their talons. And soon, they start revealing themselves to the people that they intend to replace.

That said, this is an attempt to make a movie with plenty of backstory and show how an alien invasion would impact normal people. It's the debut feature from writer and director Peter Stray, who shows promise well beyond the budget of this effort.

The closing scenes -- which set up a sequel -- are harrowing, with the UFOs rising in the sky as the yellow-jacketed aliens stand in watch. I'm interested in seeing what happens next.

So this was advertised to be a Welsh Shaun of the Dead-like sci-fi comedy, sadly it fails hard on most fronts.

It tells the story of a group of friends celebrating new years just as an alien force makes their move against mankind.

The characters are pretty plain and lack gimmicks and the aliens are, well they're basically pale dudes with Lady Deathstrike fingers and they wear..........raincoats. So, yeah.

Comparing it to Shaun of the Dead is optimistic, this just isn't funny. There are a couple of laughs to be had but not enough for a feature movie, in fact in places it gets very serious for extended periods and you forget its a comedy at all.

From a sci-fi perspective it really hammers home the X-Files conspiracy nonsense that is going on in the background away from our heroes, and that's about as interesting and engaging as a 60 minute special on shoes.

Not funny, not interesting and the aliens quite frankly look ridiculous. But wait, the worst part is yet to come! The movies ending, is well............it doesn't have one. Things happen, then you're hit with a to be continued and the credits roll. So this is an incomplete film and chances are it won't get a sequel so it'll never be continued anyway.

Should have been better but they just didn't have much to work with.

The Good:

Some great writing

Robert Pugh

The Bad:

Comes across as cheap in places

No ending
