Filmmakers Jason Eisener & John Davies on growing up making movies together:
SLIME TIME The Making of Kids vs. Aliens (Full Documentary Film):
Kids vs. Aliens is a feature length film version of a short segment from anthology film V/H/S 2 (2013) called "SLUMBER PARTY ALIEN ABDUCTION" also directed by Jason Eisener:
WIKIPEDIA: Kids vs. Aliens is a 2022 American science fiction horror film directed by Jason Eisener and written by John Davies and Eisener. It is the second spin-off film in the V/H/S franchise and a feature-length adaptation of "Slumber Party Alien Abduction", the filmmaker's segment (watch above) from the 2013 anthology horror film V/H/S/2.
IMDb.com SYNOPSIS: An all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing two warring siblings to band together to survive the night.
PRODUCTION: In December 2021, Bloody Disgusting announced Kids vs. Aliens with Jason Eisener directing with John Davies and Eisener writing the screenplay. It was also reported that Dominic Mariche, Calem MacDonald, Phoebe Rex, Asher Grayson, Ben Tector, Emma Vickers and Isaiah Fortune would all star in the film.
RELEASE: Kids vs. Aliens premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 23, 2022, and was released by RLJE Films and Shudder on January 20, 2023. In September 2022, Eisener expressed interest in developing additional Kids vs. Aliens movies, while confirming that their realization were dependent on the reception of the first film.
RECEPTION: On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 58% of 40 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Kids vs. Aliens occasionally comes close to offering the goofy fun promised by the title, although the end result is ultimately rather forgettable." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 51 out of 100, based on eight critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.
Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "while the script... is weak, there is an endearingly scruffy vibe here, goosed by some cool-looking costumes and effects. And there's a legitimate underdog edge, as Eisener and Davies capture how it feels to be underestimated and overmatched but full of can-do pluck." Katie Rife of RogerEbert.com gave it 2.5/4 stars, writing, "In keeping with our current 'poptimistic' age, Kids Vs. Aliens keeps the aggressive neon splatter, but loses the cynicism—a choice that, for all the F-bombs and fake blood, makes it a surprisingly pure film." /Film's Chris Evangelista gave it a score of 6/10, saying it "achieves what it sets out to do. Like the best junk food, it doesn't offer you anything nutritious, but you'll still enjoy the meal. You just might feel a little gross the next day, but hey, that's okay, too."
IGN's Matt Donato gave the film 5/10 stars, writing, "Kids vs. Aliens feels hurriedly unfinished, could-have-been-a-short underdeveloped, and gloopy as a distraction... Disappointingly, Kids vs. Aliens doesn't accentuate the promise of its title beyond juvenility in the form of cosmic defense thrills." Sandie Angulo Chen of Common Sense Media gave it 2/5 stars, saying it was "somewhat promising at first, but the dialogue is so reliant on coarse language that it stops being novel by the 50th use of "effing" in the first 15 minutes... Kids vs. Aliens does offer a few lighthearted laughs, but overall it's a movie that had more potential than substance. Even at just an hour and 15 minutes, it feels simultaneously unfinished and overlong."
