"Aliens Gone Wild" is a piece of recorded entertainment that I can't in good conscience call a movie, as it's essentially a bunch of clips from bad Full Moon films cobbled together on one DVD with the most laughable editing in recent memory. It is probably the worst thing Charles Band, maker of over 200 (frequently awful) films, has ever been associated with, and is that rare production where the independently bad components are spliced together into a finished product that is substantially worse than the individual parts. A collection of simple science fiction or horror trailers would have been much more entertaining (don't worry though, there are actual trailers in the extras, along with some other stuff of dubious entertainment value.)

The DVD is broken down into major categories like "Space Freaks," "Alien Classics," and "From Beyond." Each group has low points, but for me the worst was the almost unendurable music video sequence in a hospital early in the film. If you make it through that it gets easier from there, and even includes some footage of a young Demi Moore, who gets star billing along with other luminaries like Julie Newmar, James Black, and Roddy McDowell. Of course there really isn't any one person at the top of the bill as it's just a bunch of footage from other movies mashed together, but at least there are some people you have seen before.

This is one of the most difficult things to tolerate that I have ever watched, and I was sorely tempted on numerous occasions just to stop the DVD and run over it with a car. Now that I've actually seen the whole thing I realize that those instincts were valid.

"Aliens Gone Wild" is among the very worst of the worst.

This is not a MOVIE, it's highlights and overviews of a number of FULL MOON FILMS. If you know FMF then you know you're getting cheesy fun films. Most are DTV and shot in full screen, little know actors or classic B Movie actors such as Tim Thomerson and Roddy Mcdowall. Sure roddy made some great A movies but he has had his few share of B's too.
This film is just good fun to give the viewer an idea of what is out there in the wide world of B movies.

A very random movie.
Which can be a good thing, best suited to a good case of the munchies.

This film could've been done by a 13 year old kid with a [...] budget! All they did was put together some horrible movies into a clash that was hopefully going to have enough cool alien stuff to ignore the fact that it makes no sense at all. Sadly, they fail. There is no plot, other than ugly and poorly done aliens from different crappy films showing up in clips that confuse the snot out of you. I couldn't even FINISH the movie after the first half hour of torture.
