Feeders (1996)

Derek and Bennett are traveling cross country to the East Coast so they can go to the beach and check out the chicks.  On the way, they  stop to take photos of devastation, meet some girls, go camping, and run into an alien invasion.

The aliens aren't very threatening as they're only about two feet tall and have spindly little arms.  However they do have antennas.  Unfortunately by antennas, I mean radio antennas which they use to poke people in the neck.  On the one hand I applaud the creativity of the filmmakers since this movie cost them about $500 to make.  On the other hand, it's hysterically funny to see a radio antenna slowly coming in from the side of the frame towards someone's neck.

The film has a ton of padding - driving, walking, running, and alien vision while the little creatures scamper around the woods.  The soundtrack is something right out of a Peanuts/Charlie Brown special. This is not good, but its much better than Feeders 2: Slay Bells.

Ridiculous dialogue:

"Come on. Let's got into town. I want to grab some photos of the devastation." -- Derek

After hearing reports on the radio about a meteor or fireball seen in the area: "These people watch too much television." -- Bennett

Enjoy some of the low budget madness that is Feeders....

Aliens interactions with humans explained
The opening scenes have a fog over the top part of the
screen. I'd think it was a light leak which affected the
film, except this was recorded on VHS.
To avoid confusion, let me confirm that this is a UFO.
This aliens head is too heavy to stay upright
and flops up and down as he moves.
Derek takes ten photos of the same scene.
Derek and Bennett are overwhelmed by the devastation....
...there is no explanation for why Dereks photos of
said destruction contain mail trucks.
The not so scary radio antenna probe. Also is it just me, or
does anyone else want to smack that hat off his head?

Stomp on an aliens head and you get yellow paint.
Alien vision captures the skinniest leg known
to man wearing a tube sock.
Alien abduction!
Let the probing is begin.
