My wife and I started to watch this film the other night with the intention of just seeing 10 minutes or so before we went to bed, but ended up watching it all. My wife is definitely not a sci-fi fan (unlike me) but she still enjoyed this.

Yes, the effects are awful (the original series of Star Trek had better) and I would agree with others on how bad some of the acting was (funnily enough you could tell who the evil guys were by how bad their acting was, although even the good guys weren't that much better). However, it was definitely watchable and dare I say it, even mildly enjoyable.

In summary, the kind of film that is worth watching if it happens to be on air and nothing else worth watching is on, but not worth actively seeking out.

'Alien Siege' is more Sci Fi channel dreck, churned out by the UFO film company in Eastern Europe. I have to wonder why I actually bother anymore with these no budget cable movies that Sci Fi channel seems to put out every month. They show zero creativity, poor acting and the hokey computer graphics and stock 3D models just add insult to injury. The plot of Alien Siege is entirely derivative of alien invasion films like 'V' and 'Earth - Final Conflict' and brings nothing new to the genre. The only part worth watching is the trailer, which packs more thrills than the actual movie.

Maybe next time Sci Fi could give the quarter million dollar budget to some independent director to make a low budget science fiction movie with some original ideas, rather than waste it on yet another Saturday night disappointment like this one. The existence of a great low budget SF movie like 'Primer' is a perfect demonstration of why 'Alien Blood' is truly a cultural invasion, with or without aliens.

Just saw this on SciFi channel. Big disappointment after reading some of the promising reviews here. I always give scifi movies a bit of extra leeway as I like the genre, but Alien Siege is just plain poor.

I agree on two points others have made. Good story line which deserves to be made into a decent movie some day, and good visual effects.

That's about it though for the good bits. The direction was pedestrian, no build-up of tension or drama. Terrible screenplay, you'll find better dialog in comic books, and the characters never engaged me in caring about their fate. The acting was generally well below B standard, although in fairness the cast had very little to work with.

I rate this 2/10 for the story and visuals. I kept waiting for it to improve, but it didn't happen. Oh well, sometimes the bear gets you...
