Dr. Alien

A review by Chris Seaver

Directed by Dave Decoteau and Written by Kenneth J. Hall

This is going to be more of an endorsement than a review. If you like shit-locky b-movies then look no further cus you have found one of the crummiest gems in a pile at the PEAK of fecal mountain. This falls balls deep in the catagory of "So bad its good" movie. This of course is just my opinion and I'm sure the majority of you will all think I'm Gary Busey-Shit crazy, but Dr. Alien, or "I was a Teenage Sex Mutant" which is its original title and the title I first saw it as that late night in 1992 on "USA's Up all Night" is a rare gem that truly entertains with its putridness.

However it IS directed by man flesh worshiper Dave Decoteau, who is a true B-movie master in my book. What book is that Chris? oh, well the "Book of masters" which I keep by my night stand and read frequently when I need to find out just WHO is the master that paticular night. Anyway, Mr. Decoteau is a hero to some and this is a sparkling diamond on his Giant list of accomplishments, and I'm not even joking here peeps, I truly love his work. How can you go wrong with the Jacoby Brothers (Also known as the Jayne Brothers) and Stuart "Ski School" Fratkin in a sci-fi sex comedy that turns a geeky nobody into a tenticle headed sexual magnet that can't stop the ladies from wanting his 1988 genital region.

Billy was well known, well at least to me anyway, for being one of the leads in "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" which aired on Fox in the early 90's for 4 years! He was also the perfect horny younger brother in the 80's classic "Just one of the guys" which is also a fave of this reviewer. His real life younger brother plays his brother in this film as well and plays, like always, a real douchey sonsabitch. His brother has appeared in many a B-movie and even mainstream films from time to time. The last good B-movie I saw mr. Bobby Jacoby in was Night of the Demons 2. The plot is simple, "Dr. Alien" or the better title if you so find it as- is basically a story about an alien who tests a high school nerd, Jacoby, with an intergalactic potion that makes him the object of lust for nearly every busty girl in his viewing area, including Dr. Alien herself, played by the sultry and boner inducing Judy Landers. Case Closed. How much more do you need to know?

How about this. The special effects were created by Acedemy Award winner Greg Cannom, who worked on "the Mask" and "Bram Stokers Dracula" to name a few. This was also written by Kenneth J Hall who created the Puppet Master series for Full Moon among other flicks. Oh and there is some Sweet HORRID metal playing through out this polished turd. All in all this is one hell of a party movie to throw on with your "homies" or whatever they call the kids these days. Just make sure you know exactly what your getting into.

Once you have your cheese brain securely lodged into your skull, then sit back and take a ride through C-movie Xanadu, cus this flick will make you laugh till you decide to stop laughing, just long enough for you to grab a soda and eat some tastey viddles until you go back to laughing and so on and so forth and what not and this and that. Huzzah you shiney diamond! P.S. Stuart Fratkin (Fake styles in Teen Wolf Too) is the shit and I want him in Ski School 3, which I hope to one day direct!
