I am a big fan of classic science fiction and parody. I thought this might be a match made in heaven but frankly this is quite sad. I wish I could say this is worth at least a 1.99 but I feel cheated out of it actually. This feels like something I could just watch on youtube for free. The short follows a sheriff of a town called Backwater(I have to admit that made me chuckle) and how he has to fight off an invasion of an evil eyeball with tentacles from outer space. At times the story doesn't make much sense-the aliens crash land on earth yet somehow they leave the planet-and the jokes aren't all that funny-though it can be clever at times. The jokes seemed to be focused more so on making references than doing something clever even though the jokes do land every once in a while. The special effects is in this short is actually quite pitiful and they look even worse than special effects from an actual 50's sci-fi movie. I will give the makers behind the film this, you can tell they tried but in my opinion it just didn't work. If you want to watch a actually good parody of classic sci-fi, go watch The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera which is much smarter and has better jokes. And if you want to watch an unintentionally funny parody of 50's sci-fi, go watch Plan 9 from Outer Space.
