RLJE Films and Shudder debuted a rad and expletive-filled trailer for Kids vs. Aliens, a new film from Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun, Turbo Kid). The Kids vs. Aliens trailer gives us a fantastic look at the upcoming thriller focusing on a group of teenagers forced to defend their home (and the planet) from extraterrestrial invaders hellbent on using human skin to fuel their spaceship. The footage contains lots of gross-out visuals you’d expect from an Eisener-directed film, in addition to style, vibrant colors, and spooky cinematography.
Eisener directs from a script he co-wrote with John Davies. In addition to dropping a Kids vs. Aliens trailer, the studio also debuted key art and an official synopsis for the upcoming science-fiction horror adventure:
“All Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend, an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night.“
Kids vs. Aliens stars Dominic Mariche, Phoebe Rex, Calem MacDonald, Asher Grayson Percival, and Ben Tector.
The Kids vs. Aliens trailer kicks off with a group of kids taking advantage of an unsupervised house perfect for an elaborate costume party. However, when actual aliens show up at the soiree, a night of underaged shenanigans quickly turns to shit as party guests die by the dozens. Left with no choice but to defend themselves (and their home), a rag-tag group of youngsters goes on the defense, looking to kill any alien standing in their way.
Eisener, you didn’t have to release Kids vs. Aliens the day after my birthday! That’s too kind! I can’t wait to check this out, especially while we all wait for more details about Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block sequel. Kids are resourceful, and I would not put it past them to devise clever ways of defending themselves. The aliens in this movie might have bitten off more than their tiny mouths can chew when their almond eyes fixate on what’s coming their way.
Kids vs. Aliens comes to theaters, On Demand, and digitally on January 20, 2023.
