I first found out about this film from a poster which used to hang upon one of the stars' office wall, and I must say this movie has become a guilty pleasure. True, the performances are cheesy (shows that even the best stage actors - such as I know they are - can have trouble transferring to film), and they make the writing seem like Shakespeare, but it is simply a cute little comedy.

Back in the late 1980s when I was a news reporter for West Virginia Public Radio, I did a story about the filming of this little gem. I made the acquaintance some of the stars, and I even got to be an extra! To be honest, this is no visionary cinematic masterpiece. The special effects are cheap and the acting is goofy. But it was a labor of love for a little band of filmmakers shooting just a few miles from where I live, so I can't help but be biased.

If you like corny movies that you can relax and just enjoy, this one is for you. Two likeable characters go to out-of-way cabin to relax. but relaxation is the furthest thing on there minds when they save the life of an alien, who turns into a pretty woman(Julia Roberts no offence),try and stop a maleviolent alien who's out to take over the earth with his evanglist messages over the radio.And held prisoners by the local wackos who think they're the aliens. It is good clean fun.

Please put this superb film,Invasion of the Space Preachers on DVD,so that humble people such as myself can afford it.So spread the word!!!!!!!!!

My best friends dad is Guy Nelson who is the star of the west virginia film. I know first-hand that Guy is a goofy very funny man. He is a very talented actor too, he has helped me and my best friend get into the acting business and had a pretty good start thanks to him.
