Alien Country (2024) – A Wild Ride Through Small Town Mayhem and Outer Space Trouble
Alien Country is a 2024 indie sci fi action comedy that brings together small town charm and chaotic alien invasion with a grin and a shotgun. Directed by newcomer filmmaker Shane Hagedorn and starring Blake Webb and Maddy Curley, the film tells the story of Jimmy and Everly, a couple who are already facing big news — they are expecting a baby. Unfortunately for them and everyone in town, something much bigger is about to crash into their lives.
After a bizarre accident opens a portal to another world, alien creatures begin spilling into their sleepy southern town. These are not your average little green men. They are fast, mean, and bio engineered for destruction. But Jimmy and Everly are not giving up without a fight.
With a tone that mixes classic drive in monster movies with modern indie spirit, Alien Country embraces its low budget roots and goes all in on practical effects, over the top action, and heart. The film is packed with explosions, alien chases, cheesy one liners, and just enough emotional stakes to keep it grounded. It never takes itself too seriously, and that is part of the fun.
What makes Alien Country stand out is its self awareness and sincerity. It knows exactly what kind of movie it wants to be — a good time. Think rural America meets intergalactic mayhem with characters you can root for and aliens you can laugh at while running for your life.
In the end, Alien Country is a love letter to genre fans who enjoy a little chaos, a little comedy, and a whole lot of alien trouble. Grab the popcorn and buckle up. It is going to get weird.
