BAD MOVIE: ALIEN LOVER (1975) –

alien loverALIEN LOVER (1975) – Category: Enjoy-ably campy bad movie elevated by kitsch-value in the casting.
 
***
Pernell Roberts and a really young Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) in her pre-Ryan’s Hope and Mrs. Columbo days add the additional comic value to this made-for-tv horror/sci fi hybrid.
***
It was an hour and a half with commercials so with them edited out it’s just 60-some minutes long. Kate plays a teenaged recovering loony who starts communicating with a teen from another dimension via a broken tv set in the attic of her home. The tv set can absorb
people from our dimension into the alien dimension.

***
 The 70’s sitcom-style lighting makes you expect to hear laughter and applause from the studio audience every now and then. (Or at least recognition applause when cult figures like Pernell Roberts make their entrances)
***
The whole laughable film plays like a half-hour Twilight Zone episode stretched out to an interminable length and the soap-opera-ish acting has you laughing so hard you may actually be surprised by the down-beat ending.

    Thank you for this article. I’d also like to say that it can be hard when you are in school and merely starting out to create a long history of credit. There are many students who are only trying to make it and have a good or favourable credit history can often be a difficult thing to have.

    Great review of a bad movie I shall skip. This film sounds really ridiculous to me. It actually has an interesting premise on the surface. Aliens are fascinating creatures which have often made for engaging movies. However, I think it failed in its execution. A better film about aliens posing a threat is “Edge of Tomorrow”. It tells the story of an army officer reliving the same day over and over again to resolve an alien invasion. One of Tom Cruise’s best performances.

    Here’s why I recommend it strongly:
