My mother always warned me that this is what would happen if you stumbled upon an alien training mission . . .
An interesting little film, better than I expected to be honest. Of course, I am basing that on last having seen Bruce Campbell in The
Man with the Screaming Brain, so
Terminal Invasion may be getting a tad bit elevated here. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed Campbell as the strong but silent Jack, a killer who ends up escaping his jail guards thanks to a raging snowstorm and the murderous appetite of one nasty looking alien.
The aliens, as it turns out there is definitely more than one, seem to have only one thing on their agenda and that is to kill humans. So it is up to Jack with the aide of Cathy Garrett (Chase Masterson), a spicy little pilot with a heart of gold, to get out of this rural airport alive. She has only one rule - Jack isn't allowed to kill anyone. Well, unless they are aliens I guess.
As they struggle with the arctic like weather, an old plane that looks held together by duct tape and vicious aliens intent on killing everyone in site, Jack and Cathy also try to save the other passengers who are stranded at the airport. But who should they save? There is no real easy way to tell the aliens from the humans and this proves to be a problem in more ways than one.
Like I said earlier, an interesting little film that was better than I expected. Although in my opinion Bruce Campbell may have been a little under utilized in
Terminal Invasion, he was still his usual over the top, barrel of fun to watch self. I would definitely recommend watching this when you are in the mood for some campy Bruce Campbell one liners or just want to catch a cheesy little alien flick.
