Directed by Chad Archibald, "Ejecta" stars Julian Richings as William Cassidy, a man who has experienced a series of extraterrestrial encounters. Cassidy is visited at his secluded home by a documentary filmmaker, Joe Sullivan (Adam Seybold), who hopes to learn more about Cassidy's encounters.
"Ejecta's" reasonably creepy premise quickly degenerates into needless mayhem. A UFO crashes, soldiers bumble about in the dark and Cassidy is taken hostage by a woman who uses the opportunity to indulge in exploitative torture sessions. Whilst "Ejecta" does have several good scares – most of which find our heroes assaulted by aliens in a wooden house – and does capture several genuinely creepy nighttime images, this is ultimately a poorly written film which panders to low-budget horror conventions. Written by Tony Burgess.
5/10 – Worth one viewing. See "Fire in the Sky" and "Session 9".
