Overview

A team from the intergalactic fast food chain Crumb's Crunchy Delights descends on Earth, planning to make human flesh the newest taste sensation. After they wipe out the New Zealand town Kaihoro, the country’s Astro-Investigation and Defense Service (AIaDS) is called in to deal with the problem. Things are complicated due to Giles, an aid worker who comes to Kaihoro the same day to collect change from the residents. He is captured by the aliens, and AIaDS stages a rescue mission that quickly becomes an all-out assault on the aliens’ headquarters.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gloriously gruesome romp where cheap practical effects and sheer comedic audacity transform a low-budget alien invasion into an anarchic, gore-splattered celebration of excess. It's genuinely funny precisely because it commits so completely to its ridiculous premise.
