'Alien Country' is a sci-fi/Comedy from first-time director Boston McConnaughey, who co-wrote the film with Renny Grames. You are not going to find any blood and guts as the film is more of a comedy with a little bit of drama. The film also has a lot of action and some cool-looking creatures.
The cast, including K. C. Clyde, Rachele Brooke Smith (The Nice Guys), Austin Archer (The Night Clerk), Dalton Baker (Yellowstone), Corbin Alred (Teen Angel), and beloved child star and social influencer Payton Myler (American Ninja Warrior Junior, Ninja Kids TV), give good performances and seem to have a lot of fun being in the film. The film's opening scene sets the stage for what is to come later in the film, and there are other little twists along the way as well.
'Alien Country' is a fun little film that leaves you wanting more, and the way it ends, we might just get another. Funny, scary, and all-out entertainment is about what you get when the film comes to VOD on 10/22/24..
