This has all the directoral skill, acting ability, script writing, cinematography and flow of a high-school fan film... except we've seen far better fan films. Some of the camera work looks like it came out of the 60s, the acting out of the 70s, and the plot straight out of the "mean aliens" handbook. This doesn't even qualify as schlock; this is people making a movie who have no idea what they're doing. Me giving a film 1-star isn't common-- they have to be total garbage to earn that rating, but this one definitely qualifies. I haven't seen work this bad since... well, I guess I have to give it creds for being uniquely bad of its own right. This might qualify for the SyFy channel... if the company needed a last-minute fill-in and was desperate. But it would damage their reputation.
