Everly (Renny Grames) feels so frustrated living in a two horse town in Nowhere, USA, that she decides to just run and try for a career as a singer - but then her car breaks down, and the only one she knows to call is her boyfriend Jimmy (K.C. Clyde), and when he comes to pick her up, she can't but reveal to him that he has impregnated her. The news of his unborn baby along with the fact that Everly tried to skip town stresses Jimmy to the point where he needs to prove her his worth - in a stock car race ... which he doesn't even win. But in the car he (legally) borrowed for the race, he finds a briefcase that holds ... a device that can open a gateway to another dimension. And not knowing what this device even is, Jimmy opens the gate and lets a few aliens in - evil aliens I might add, the kind that eats people to secure world domination to a superior alien race that keeps these aliens as footsoldiers. Luckily, they find a benign alien, Ben (Charan Praghakar), who tells them how to fight the evil aliens (even if he himself isn't too good at it), but unfortunately, they also have two rather supid recnecks (Austin Archer, Joseph Reidhead) on their trail who act as helpers for an evil alien queen (Carla Bocchiocchio) - incidently Ben's mother -, and the local police (Trey Warner, Sila Agavaile) are still undecided which side they're actually on. And apparently Jimmy's a conduit to send the aliens back to their dimension - but unfortunately he hasn't got the foggiest what that even means ...

 

Now one thing, Alien Country might employ every alien invasion trope in the book - but it's not a movie that desires to be taken seriously. In fact, while it works perfectly well along sci-fi thriller lines, it also features more than a few parodistic elements, not only in terms of genre tropes but also of Americana as such ... and thus the finale actually features stock cars doing what they do best. And the thing works, too, because the script is genuinely funny without leaning too much into mere parody, it moves at a brisk space and is directed in a genre savvy way, the main characters are well fleshed out and relatable, and the special effects are actually pretty awesome for a modest budget feature. So it's definitely a cool genre ride, and not only for genre fans.
