Xtro 3: Watch the Skies (1995)

(7/10):By no means reflected of the film's overall quality, however the first was a Cult hit, being such a mish-mash of obscure and random elements with surprisingly well done practical effects that sequels were bound to happen.

Neither reached the level of success as the original as they were both more obvious in their so called "inspirations" however the third was still better than the second so it managed a smaller cult following as well.

Finally the film at hand,it's a lo-fi predator ripoff that takes a bit to get going as well as having some interesting effects as some were possibly dated at the time and some were actually somewhat solid.

The alien is the easy highlight of the movie as the human characters are poorly written and acted as well as very one note.

The death scenes are actually kinda good,at least considering that it obviously doesn't look as well done overall as the original.

It's just an oddity of filmmaking that remains pretty bad throughout but enjoyable given the right mindset.
