They Are Among Us (2004)

How sad is this?

Good concept, poorly executed.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The premise of this SF film sounds good, with a decent trailer that looks like a rip off of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Unfortunately if only that were true, as the film lacks any tension, makes little sense, and jumps all over the place, giving you no idea of what is actually happening. Average acting doesn't help, and Alison certainly needs some lessons from dad Clint, as her action hero role does not quite hold up.The budget was obviously low, as the effects in it are quite poor, with some ridiculous creatures that look like rejects from a 1950's Z Movie. One to avoid I feel.

I saw this on the sci-fi channel and my eyes were literally stuck to the screen. it was A M A Z I N G!! I went out and bought it the next day and watched it over and over. The girls in the movie were incredibly hot. The very opening scene the two girls looking in the mirror were so sexy I creamed my pants at least six times. The women throughout the movie were sweet too. Other than that, I thought the acting was great and the script was incredible. If you don't take the movie so seriously it was actually at parts hysterical. Some of the scenes did really scare me. But I watched it again and again just to get off. HIGHLY recommend. 5 stars. definitely. word.

"They Are Among Us" is poor science fiction at best. Mediocre acting bogs down this film. The plot holes are numerous. Aliens that somehow came to earth on a meteor and have been hiding among us for over 100 years, but need a plastic surgeon to make them appear human. In their alien form they supposedly have exo-skeletons (which is why they need the plastic surgery) but when you see them they have teeth and fingernails. The heroine's father "disappeared" after Project Blue Book closed, but was supposedly an F-16 pilot. And on and on. If you want to see an alien invasion movie, pick "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", and see how it is done right.

Words fail me.And that isn't common.Done properly this could have been great, funny spoof B-movie sci-fi, but sadly, it was not to be. Rarely in the field of drama have so many competent actors struggled so vainly with such a dogs-breakfast of a script. I can only endorse the previous reviewer's comments - go clean the bathroom. In fact do ANYTHING except watch this film.Positives: Lucy Beeman's nose. Negatives: Everything else.Most apposite line: "This isn't going anywhere".If only every plastic surgeon could meet with such a fate.
