I usually like darkly lit movies where you really can't tell what's going on. This is an exception, and immediately called to mind, "The Mist", Stephen King's baby, and much, much better.With "The Mist" you have character development, and actually care about what happens with the actors populating the story.I did watch "Alien Raiders" through to the end, but I felt robbed of part of my life.Now some people like "Alien Raiders", and it even won a few obscure awards; I have to disagree.If it was the only movie out there like it, you might want to watch it.With "The Mist" available, I'd just skip this one altogether. "The Mist" has it own pretty obscure nominations and wins (more), and a bunch more fan upvotes than this one.I agree with the popular thinking for once.And, Merry Christmas, y'all!

When i thought of watching it, i read the IMDb basic story line first. It was OK. The beginning few minutes of the movie was alright. But, what followed is totally lame. The script makes you ask so many questions on why the hell are they doing stupid things. Just for going on they act stupidly. It gets so boring after wards. I never fast forward any movie. God! I did it in this movie. And the ending, as expected. Such a waste of time.There are many low-budget movies which are taken so well. This is definitely not one of those. I don't know what to say, don't watch it.Final verdict : Ignore this. People who say that this movie is great, i don't know what to say about it. Watch it or Miss it? Definitely go for the latter option.

Following the daily shift, a team of commandos enters and overtakes a supermarket looking for the one employee infected by an alien parasite that will soon infect the world and try to stop the creature when it escapes and runs rampant across the store.This is an extremely disappointing and underwhelming effort, this one just doesn't have enough to keep itself going at all, with the first half built around the team's mysterious reasons for being there, the curious actions they undertake with the people there and efforts to keep everything contained inside as the hostages begin grumbling and thinking of their motives. That nothing is ever given until the thirty minute mark, which is just a passing line in dialog and not an actual explanation just makes it all the more frustrating, and it makes this section of the film so hard to get into. That it's also nearly an hour long before the alien first appears doesn't help at all, mainly due to the lack of information given which makes all the actions taken difficult to grasp and understand and making it all the harder to get into the film and care. That the last part of the film is decent enough with a couple decent stalking scenes and some bloodletting in the kills is nice and good, but it can't make up for the flawed beginning.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

I think another reviewer got it right when he said a lot of these positive reviews sound like they were written by cast and crew. Many of these enthusiastic reviews sounded like the boilerplate you would read on the back of the DVD box when checking out the movie at the local video store.Anyway, the movie seems promising at first and has good suspense and mystery to begin with. I agree with previous reviewers that the beginning and set up of the plot is the best thing this movie has to offer. Once the movie gets completely underway, it loses a lot of appeal and slowly becomes more and more mediocre. Eventually the movie becomes a total bore and then is ruined by an ending that is super unoriginal and dumb. The ending also makes you wonder why you watched this movie in the first place, yes, its that bad.I'll be generous like the previous reviewer and give it a middling 5 score, and only because the first part is pretty good.
