Beware the Ghota

Old time alien and sci-fi movie fans get ready; Alien Trespass was made specifically for you. A film reminiscent of the classic thrillers of old such as War of the Worlds, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and It Came From Outer Space, Alien Trespass is an entertaining journey back to the 1950s when movies were just plain fun. Devoid of an intricate and complex storyline with the smoke and mirrors typical of a more modern sci-fi thriller, this film stays true to its old time style and is a real treat for anyone who remembers or wonders what it was like to go see classic horror B-movies like The Blob in the theater. Directed by R.W. Goodwin of The X-Files, Alien Trespass is pure fun with little more to it than just a plain, old-fashioned good time.

Set in the desolate Mojave Desert in 1957, the story of the "long lost" Alien Trespass is fairly simple. During a meteor shower, a traveler from another world, Urp, accidentally crash lands bringing with him the Ghota, a terrifying and extremely dangerous being, capable of destroying organic matter, including entire human beings, on contact. Requisitioning the body of local professor and astronomer Ted Lewis, Urp immediately sets out to stop the Ghota in its tracks, enlisting the help of local town inhabitants along the way.
