Aliens In The Attic (2009) 6/10

Starring : Carter Jenkins, Austin Butler, Ashley Boettcher, Robert Hoffman, Ashley Tisdale
Director : John Schultz
Running Time : 86 mins

Tom Pearson (Jenkins) is forced to go on summer vacation with his family to their holiday home in Creek Landing, Michigan. When the television goes on the fritz, he and his cousin Jake (Butler) go up to the roof to try and fix the antenna, only to discover that the house is being invaded by space aliens who have mind-control devices which, thankfully, only work on adults.

Primarily this movie will appeal to young children – the plot (what there is of it) is simple and pretty much doesn’t go anywhere. The only parts of the film that might appeal to anyone else are the mind-control scene where Hoffman’s character is subjected to repeated abuse at the hands of both the aliens and the kids themselves. Steer clear unless you have very young kids that you desperately need to keep amused.
