    It wasn't that bad.

    Yes, it was cheeeeezy. Yes it was fake. Was it a little bit fun? Absolutely. I mean, what were people expecting? A **REAL** documentary from someone's home about an alien invasion?? It was at least creative.

    If something like that were to happen, (and I don't mean alien invasion, but maybe a home invasion) do you think that it would be advertised for a week? Look at the Elian Gonzalez story. It was on the news before morning coffee.

    It's a 90 min long sci-fi thriller. People take things way too seriously.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although the film is set in Lake County, it was shot in Vancouver and all the actors were Canadian. They would be fined $1 for every time they slipped back into a Canadian accent. By the end of the shoot, Dean Alioto had collected $200 altogether.
    • Goofs
      When somebody shot the alien with a sawnoff shotgun inside of a hallway, you can obviously tell that there was a cap in the gun. If the gun was real, then there would be a loud blast that would be louder than the gun cap.
    • Quotes

      Tommy: Oh man. You know what I think I peed my pants... pans the camera down... Oh I did, I PEED MY PANTS! IM LOSING IT HERE I PEED MY PANTS, MAN! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!

    • Alternate versions
      Dean Alioto's director's cut runs a little over 91 minutes. This version was distributed on video in Europe. The full cut puts Tommy's encounter with an alien around the film's middle and ends with Rosie letting three aliens into the house who then hypnotize and abduct the remaining family members.
