I wanted to love Kids vs Aliens, at most with films you want to like them. I hated this movie, i hated the plot, the characters, the aliens. I get it was supposed to be Troma esque but the bullies felt dated, the lead girl was a buffoon for even engaging with the lead bully, the kids were annoying as fuck. The party escalating quickly is a Troma move but while Troma is cheap, this tried to be cheap. It suffers from the post Grindhouse mode as skating by the bare minimum. The plot made no sense, not that it needed to but it felt like someone watched Monster Squad or Stranger Things and picked up a camera without knowing how to shoot a film and produced an uninspired short....only it was inspired and it wasn't a short. Thankfully this was only an hour & 15 minutes long but it felt like it should have been 40 minutes to be honest, that or just be a better film.
