Keith Hudson as Chambers turning into an alien in Alien Raiders
Sci-fi horror peaked with Ridley Scott’s Alien. Now, with Alien: Romulus reminding us that we just can't get enough of extraterrestrial threats, some fans are on the hunt for movies that will give them the same slimy, parasitic alien gore. Look no further than Ben Rock’s 2008 Alien Raiders. A boring night turns terrifying as Alien Raiders documents what at first appears to be an armed robbery of a small-town grocery store.
Action Thriller Meets Sci-Fi Creature Feature in ‘Alien Raiders’ Alien Raiders manages to generate immense tension and suspense while also introducing the action of the plot at a breakneck speed. After a short five-minute introduction inside the mundane Hastings Market, six armed assailants dressed in all black take the shoppers and employees hostage.

Alien Raiders breaks this mold, with every cast member delivering an out-of-the-park performance. Classic and cult-status horror movies don’t always have the best special effects or monster costumes, but through the blood-curdling screams and looks of fear, the audience can buy into the horror.
