Director Don Dohler's homage to the classic sci-fi 1950's creature features, The Alien Factor (1978), has endured the passage of time to become the standard "comfort food" for a generation of eager aficionados. Filmed in Baltimore, Maryland by a collection of never-say-die, hardcore fans, the movie boasts a gaggle of monster suits, clever miniatures and even a stop-motion beast brought to life by, then aspiring, animation wizard, Ernest D. Farino (The Terminator). Local actors Don Leifert, Dick Dyszel, Eleanor Herman and George Stover infuse the film with an enthusiastic zest that belies the film's tiny budget, adding immeasurably to the charm that is The Alien Factor.

The Alien Factor is a very ambitious sci-fi horror: unlike similar films, it has not only one alien, but a whole bunch of different extraterrestrial entities, shipwrecked in the American backcountry and destroying the town folk. No doubt, Don Dohler’s ambitions were higher than his creative abilities, because with such a dumb script and amateur actors, he definitely couldn't have reached the stars. The whole thing amounts to nothing more than some awkwardly costumed aliens’ spree in a forest. The icing on the cake, though, comes with a really stupid finale where the audience is likely to move their sympathy towards the aliens since, in this movie, the ones to behave like if they had fallen from another planet are actually the humans.

Such a classic, cheap B-movie that still wants to show something. The monster, or rather the alien from space, which is presented here, is indeed sometimes rather laughable, as well as the script, but I have seen worse movies. This is simply something bad, but what you expect from a similar movie. Similar things were filmed 20 years later and actually even today.
