Alien Storm, The Bonfire of the Alien Invasion

If Tom Wolfe had written science fiction, or alien invasion action novels, he would have written this film today.  What we have here is a sci-fi epic from The Mahal Brothers Empire that sort of mirrors Wolfe's "The Bonfire of the Vanities." More importantly we have babes with guns.  We don't have enough socialite-survivalist babes with guns in our films today. Throw in a WWE wrestler, Tom Arnold as the Las Vegas mayor, and Kevin Sorbo as the president, and we have good alien invasion drama. Oh, did I mention the flesh eating zombies?  Funny how those can slip our minds. Let us look at 2026's "Alien Storm," an action-packed alien invasion film filled with biting social commentary with babes in peril, directed by Adam Werth.  BTW, this film comes out on July 21 in digital on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. 

Aliens or demons? I think aliens. They invade and disable major cities around the world. The president (Sorbo) tries to keep America calm, though there is little reason to be calm. In Vegas, Frank McConnely (Robert Standley) and his babe wife, Ophelia (Laura Mason) host a party. Frank's flying car company has just gone public and celebrities, the Detroit Lions, Charles Wright (WWE's Godfather) and other beautiful people assemble to celebrate. Jenna (Elley Ringo) is there to get a statement and pre-marital sex from Mayor Haines (Tom Arnold).  She may want to cover the New England Patriots after this invasion is over. At the party, the guests get word an invasion has gripped Vegas. Frank has a luxurious underground bunker and invites the privileged class to ride out this drama from there. Billie (Elizabeth Chamberlain), Frank's babe daughter, has to find the family dog before she will allow herself to be locked in. How do you think this will go?

Yep, the sultry Ophelia and Frank break out the machineguns and some of the guests decide to take the fight to the creatures, who are now in the mansion. The creatures are mean and shred the guests, then eat them. The shredded guests? Yep, they come back to eat the living.  Could it get worse?  While "The Bonfire of the Vanities" theme is playful and satirical, this film adds some taboo and heartbreak.  It goes from a light, fun horror film to an ominous and terrifying one. Babes with guns are heroic in this but it will be so sad to see some evening gown-clad beauties shredded.  As the survivor pool decreases, the privileged may have found a weakness for these monsters, but is it too late?

Will the lovely Jenna get her pre-marital sex with the mayor, even though she has had to arm herself and turn all killer?  Will the lovely evening gown clad Ophelia get into catfights with female monsters? Will Frank and all his brains that created a flying car company figure out a way out of this?  This is a good one and don't be fooled by an almost comedic introduction of the party goers...it'll get ominous and terrifying real quick. See "Alien Storm" starting next week on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.
