“We shit you not: Donald Farmer made a kid’s movie.”
When a lonely young boy befriends a mischievous alien visitor, an ordinary summer turns into the adventure of a lifetime. Hunted by ruthless government agents determined to capture the extraterrestrial at any cost, the unlikely duo embark on a thrilling journey. Along the way, they discover that courage, friendship, and believing in the impossible may be the only way to find a path home – but not before encountering the cringiest, creepiest cast of characters ever committed to tape and an alien mothership’s worth of rudimentary early CGI.
Oh yeah, and did we mention it’s directed by SOV sleaze maven Donald Farmer (Cannibal Hookers, Demon Queen, Scream Dream) making his one and only detour into the booming direct-to-video family film market of the time – and handing in a twisted, bastard mutation of Mac and Me, Nukie and E.T. One of the deepest and most bizarre SOV cuts of all time.
