HE HAS RISEN: CARPEASTER 1.0 DAY 9 OF 13

This has quite a few things going for it. First off the creatures are so lovingly made you can't help but just feel good by simply looking at them. I went into this knowing that the budget was at a cool $500 gross so I already had some expectations set and with SOV stuff you kind of need to prepare yourself for it but this is one of the few titles I've seen that feels crisp and clean. The dialogue is all perfectly intelligible (except for when your actor playing the doctor walks away from the scene while he's still talking) and everything is very well lit.

About halfway through I felt the Polonia brothers played a good trick on me by making me think the titular alien feeders were much larger than they originally were but compared to humans they're basically puppet-sized so that was a pleasant surprise. I found myself thinking how awesome it would be if the Polonias ever got to work with Tim Ritter and if that happened maybe they'd help shape each other's work and we'd get more stuff with the chaotic silliness of TRUTH OR DARE or KILLING SPREE mixed with the good-natured and honest kindness of FEEDERS and FEEDERS 2 (as those are the only Polonia joints I've seen as of this writing). But what we have is still delightful and sure to make your night a fun one whether you're still stuck at home alone, with a loved one or even a roommate you're still struggling to tolerate. This'll make it better.
