The Galaxy Invader (1985)


Whilst I am beginning to develop a bit of a 'Dohler complex', in as much as I seem to be strangely drawn to a lot of the man's work and find much of it inexplicably appealing, The Galaxy Invader left me a little underwhelmed, sadly.

Whilst the creature design is atypically Dohler-esque (with more than a few 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' visual traits thrown in), drunken rednecks steal the bulk of the camera time this time around leaving the creature a little side-lined.

The focus on the hillbilly capering and bungling as they attempt to hunt down and capture the alien - who has landed in the woods near their ramshackle town - and exploit it for monetary gain whilst mildly entertaining in some respects, does become tiresome.

However, whilst ineptitude dominates throughout, it's almost impossible (well, at least for me) not to get some enjoyment out of this cheesy little schlock-fest.
