4Digital Media has unveiled the official trailer AND poster for INVASION PLANET EARTH, a new sci-fi thriller written by Simon Cox and Simon Bovey, and directed and produced by Cox. The film also stars Simon Haycock, Lucy Drive, Toyah Willcox, Sophie Anderson, Julie Hoult, Danny Steele, and Ian Brooker.
Synopsis: After the death of his young daughter, Thomas Dunn is a broken man. When his wife falls pregnant again, he cannot believe their luck. However, his joy is short lived, as on the very same day, the people of Earth become plagued with terrifying visions of the end of the world. When a gigantic, all-consuming alien mothership appears in the sky and launches a ruthless attack on Earth’s cities, chaos and destruction follows.
Oof. There’s a lot to take in here. I don’t like to harp on low budgets for films (since they can usually be put to good use), but it is REALLY hard to make a low budget sci-fi film, especially one with such ambitious visual defects–whoops, I meant effects–as this one. Even for a straight-to-video feature, it’s practically begging the viewer to lose interest halfway through. But hey, that’s just my opinion.
Invasion Planet Earth will be released February 4, 2020 on VOD, Digital HD, and DVD.
