John and Derrick are two bums who sit at home and watch movies all day. Their favorite, Zorpo, an old B-Movie from the 50s. One night as they order delivery fast food strange things start happening in their home. They grow more anxious and hungry as the night progresses. Their anxiety grows to a halt when a knocking is heard at the door but instead of the delivery guy it is a terrifying alien come to bring them back to it's ship. They need to use their wit (or lack of) to escape the alien and defend their house. The chaos that ensues is both terrifying and comedic and will leave you at the edge of your seat.

We are proud to claim that every special effect seen in the film will be done practically. Our creature is being designed and applied by makeup artist Ash Rodriguez (@makeup_ash) who has worked in film and television for years. Her credits include the Chuckie Perez Show, The Haunt, and has worked for Universal Studios and Knott's Berry Farm at their Halloween haunts each year. Outside of our creature many of our effects are designed to pay homage to early B-Movies and will be done with lighting and camera effects to give the film a retro style. We are very excited to tackle these effects however practical effects are not always cheap, which is where we need your help.
