AMAZING, no kidding........2006-06-15
Alien Factor has this amazing story about aliens crashing on earth, terrorizing people, getting people to act stupid about handling the problem, and the ending is a huge unexpected twist that got me giggling for days. There were awesome primitive lazer beam effects and a silly yet amusing explanation for many of the bizzare happenings. The best part about the movie was this freakishly tall alien walking on carpet covered stilts. It looked like he was going to tip over any second too. He also had this weird thing with swinging his right hand in a rhythm. Watch as people run in fear at this thing they probably had to help up after filming the scene.
Fiend was awesome too. A simple story about this neighborhood jerk that chokes people to death in order to gain energy to live longer. Nobody suspects him though (even if his murders are done in broad daylight) The one man to stop him is his next door neighbor that hates his loud music. Plenty of trademark Don Dohler cheesy lazer/light effects.
Don Dohler is a genius filmmaker, Nightbeast was rad too and even had some gore. Get familiar with his work, he has his own style (which I can't say about all these replaceable hacks these days) and most of his movies have the same lovable dork actors that use the same names from their previous movies even!
"Lawrence of Arabia" it isn't. But it's good film.......2006-04-02
I originally saw Alien Factor on late night movie and cut off the final monster. Then I was lucky that my local video store had a copy on VHS. It's a low budget picture, the acting rates from really bad to passbale. The specail effects are passable considering the budget. The movie has a lot of energy that makes up for bad effects. This DVD has extra lost ending of Alien Factor Bloopers and a commentary which is interesting.
The second film is just okay, the Alien Factor is the main meal and Fiend is just dessert. It is just okay
don leifert truly shines.......2006-03-24
thank lord this film was finally rereleased. don leifert's acting is unmatched in any genre, from any time period, ever.
How can anyone review this seriously????.......2002-07-02
If you haven't seen this "movie" (and that's a generous description for this particular title), ONLY see it if you're into some low-budget laughs. The Alien Factor is the stuff of Mystery Science Theater - and I'm amazed those guys never got hold of this one. Horrendous acting, cheap EVERYTHING and an outrageously (and unintentionally) funny stilt-walking monster. The mere fact this has made it to DVD amazes and mystifies me.
Do yourself a favor - order this ONLY if you're wanting to host your own MST3K party.
5 Stars Bad + 1 Star Bad = 3 Stars Bad.......2002-07-01
When I was a kid, my brother and I tuned into this movie on TV late one night when we had nothing better to do. After about 15 minutes of it, the VCR began to roll, along with our tears of laughter. I don't know if it was that night in particular, or the actual charms of this particular piece of drek, but it still holds a warm place in my heart as possibly THE funniest bad movie I'll ever see.
Not one thing about this movie is well done...the only good thing about it is the sincerity and love with which it was assembled. The actors are the worst community theatre types, but they go about their "work" with no apologies, as though they believe that they are creating the finest Ray Harryhausen epic. That helps a lot when the "monsters" flinch at the gunshots, or stumble on their prosthetic stilts. If there is a ghost of Ed Wood, he inhabits this film.
If you like making fun of bad movies (or even MAKING bad movies), and have a late night and nothing to fill it, invite a few sarcastic friends over and have the time of your life with this. It's hard to believe it even exists, let alone on DVD.

I knew what I getting into but...............2004-05-20
as a sequel to the The Alien Factor this film just doesn't cut it. One would think that years later even if the "aliens" weren't going to be better executed, then they would at least be as varied and quaintly charming as I found the first attempts at FX in the first film. If Don Dohler couldn't convince his original partners in crime to participate in this film it shouldn't have been marketed as a sequel.
Another Gem by Dohler and Company.......2004-05-01
Once again Don Dohler brings us another fantastic low buget
horror movie gem. Alien Factor 2 comes thru with fast paced
action and very solid effects work. The cast is made up of
some old fiends (George Stover, Anne Frith)as well as some
fresh faces like Donna Sherman. Many of the cast can be seen
in Timewarp films first movie Harvesters. Lets hope Retromedia
continues to put out these great films. Also be on the look out
for the Polonia Brothers film The House that Screamed and Tiny
Mike Productions low buget horror film Local Legend the Haw Ridge Devil.
