Our story is a sci-fi horror comedy. Body snatching super sexy aliens have invaded earth spreading an extraterrestrial venereal disease and making men (with the right body size) into incubators for their alien eggs. And now it’s up to two computer geeks, a couple of black metal heads, a female raver and a doomsday prepper to save the planet from the extraterrestrial threat.
Viktoria Winge (Cold Prey, Reprise, Max Manus) is our lead actress and heroine. She will play an ex-raver and single mother who transforms into an ultra-violent alien-slayer when her daughter is abducted by aliens.
Our director love to mix up different genres so this will be an utterly insane and bloody fantastic ride!
We believe in creative freedom and this project is a tribute to all does crazy sci-fi-horror-comedies from the 60s, 70s and the 80s. Creativity is our drug and we simply love satire. We'll play around with gender roles, stereotypes and clichés. We stive to be uncompromising and boundless with our use of comedy.
So as a token of appreciation for your support so we can stay independent we guarantee that the pilot will be distributed worldwide for free.
