ALIEN: NO MAN’S LAND (2024) is a top tier Fan Film that goes far beyond the majority of such efforts. This item runs less than 29 minutes and deals with an encounter between the Alien franchise’s xenomorphs and World War One Brits and Aussies set in No Man’s Land.
The quality is cinematic – maybe even better considering some of the rushed special effects that the film industry has cranked out lately. Sound, costuming, direction and even the acting are exemplary for a Fan Film and pretty solid even when compared to professionals.
The story:
A spaceship piloted by extraterrestrials that resemble Grey Aliens from UFO nut lore has crashed in the trenches of World War One. A dead Grey with its chest burst open tells the tale of why the ship crashed and what happened to the rest of the crew.
An enemy troop has been wiped out in their trenches by xenomorphs and the Brits & Aussies discover a lone survivor. As they investigate what happened, you can guess what kind of tableaus they come upon.
The minutes fly by in this superior effort which doesn’t skimp on fan service. We see that Weyland Corporation was in the canned food business during the Great War plus we get good use of World War One since the soldiers fight the alien with the kind of chemical weapons that were banned by World War Two.
Forget about typical Fan Films with their incredibly cheap look and check out this production HERE.

I’ve watched quite a few “fan” films over the past 100 years or so. This was one of the really well done, interesting, one’s. Thanks for passing that along!
Glad to do it!
I’ll have to check this out later ― it certainly can’t be worse than some of the official post-“Aliens” “Alien” sequels …
You know it!
Just to say those Zebras are still walking around in my mind.
Gwen.
I understand. That certainly was an unexpected angle.
Great article. This fan film sounded so promising to me that I actually thought it was real. Aliens are intriguing creatures that have often made for engaging films. I actually haven’t watched Ridley Scott’s “Alien” which has been on my watchlist for quite some time now. However, this fan film reminded me of other movies in the same genre.
For instance, the fan film reminded me of the fantastic horror movie “A Quiet Place”. It tells the story of a family that’s forced to survive in a world where most people are hunted by creatures based on sounds. The creatures are terrifying aliens because they instantly kill people if they make a single sound. Not a huge fan of the horror genre, but this movie is an exception. Here’s why I recommend it:

Thanks! I have never seen A Quiet Place yet.
