The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

OMBIS: ALIEN INVASION is an indie sci-fi flick filmed in New York state. The plot sees residents of a small town attempting to fight back when aliens invade the vicinity, causing death and destruction among mankind. Given the lack of budget, expect plenty of cheesy emoting here and little in the way of genuine sci-fi action. It plays out as more of a family drama for the most part. The cheap picture quality gives it a 1990s look while there are a handful of gooey scenes seemingly copied from that '80s cult flick STREET TRASH.

The acting was awful, the dialogue even worse. Whoever wrote the script hasn't seen a sci-fi movie in his life. The characters were 2-dimensional and were portrayed as mindless drones with the IQ of children, are we really meant to believe that an officer of the law wouldn't be able to see the obvious right in front of him?The "special effects" were something right out of BBC's Chucklevision.The premise of the movie its self, however, the bare bones idea behind the movie was good and solid, a great movie COULD have been made out of the premise with a little research and a little thought; and much better dialogue.The movie is just too unbelievable to enjoy for me, the biological science behind the creatures is just ridiculous.If this movie had a better writer for the script, and cut down on the cringe-worthy dialogue that made you wanna smash your own face in with a frying pan it probably would have been OK.As it is, however, I turned it off after 40 minutes.

Just picked this up at Wal-mart and thought before looking at the feature I'd get a heads up on it.....won't stop me from watching it but sounds exactly like another remake of the Blob.Person infected by meteor bearing space yuck, runs into lovelorn youngsters, they bring him to the sheriff....blah blah blah.I may be entirely wrong but of course if it worked for Steve McQueen then why the hell not try it out...the not as popular Dillon brother was in the 80's version and it was not half bad.Of course we live now in the world of remakes and it seems that half the movies sold direct to DVD are either remakes or sequels rushed to the shelves.

I have been viewing Deftone Studios films for a couple of years now and the overall quality just increases with each release. Ombis is the best to date! Filming, scoring, and acting in this feature all showcase an incredible amount of talent from an unexpected part of the country, Buffalo, NY. I did not expect to become engrossed in the story, startled by the antagonists, rooting for the protagonists and genuinely believing in the character "Nemesis" as much as I did. The makeup for this character was top notch. The transition makeup from human to...well, not human, was also very convincing. I consider myself something of a "B" horror movie queen and Ombis is one I need to own. Rent it, own it, JUST WATCH IT. Its worth your time and will quickly become a cult favorite.
