Review – Altered

The concept here is an interesting twist on the alien abduction theme: a quartet of former abductee rednecks capture a wayward alien out in the woods and prepare for some payback. Unfortunately, once the ball is rolling it doesn’t go anywhere in particular. Instead the plot – to the extent there is one – meanders around as the four fight with each other, a girlfriend and of course the alien itself. Because they don’t have the budget for good actors or decent effects, they probably should have stuck with a strong script rather than trying to pull off a gore fest. Further, whoever cut this down for Chiller replaced what I assume was “motherfucker” with “corn shucker,” which was ridiculous even for a bowdlerization. Mildly amusing
