A lot better than it’s rating suggests!
After being abducted by aliens three years earlier Sam (Phillip Sayer) returns to earth and reunites himself with his wife Rachel (Bernice Stegers) and son Tony (Simon Nash). While Sam was away Rachel moved on with her life and started seeing Joe (Danny Brainin) and after the arrival of Sam at the couples flat Joe begins to suspect that Sam is not all that he appears to be.

‘Xtro’ is not a bad little sci-fi horror movie in my opinion. While it suffers from bad, wooden acting and a sometimes incoherent plot the film is generally well thought out and capably directed by Harry Bromley Davenport. The biggest complaint I have with the movie was the lack of character development with regards to the alien. While some creatures or villains are scarier when the viewer is unaware of its origins I feel this particular life form would have benefited from at least a slight background story which was sadly lacking. However, though the plot can be sometimes a little confusing, most of the story eventually comes across well despite leaving a few unanswered questions and being slow in places. As I previously mentioned the film was fairly well directed and this really comes through in a few scenes which generally have an extremely trippy and unnerving effect.

The effects in ‘Xtro’ are quite surprisingly of very good quality especially considering the budget for this flick. Though one or two of the make-up effects looked rather out-of-place from the rest most of the effects were well produced and made ‘Xtro’ a rather gory movie which should keep gore fans happy. This movie found its way onto the infamous Video Nasty list and though it probably should not have been put there one can almost understand why as it features a couple of particularly brutal scenes involving women. Having said that there are far more vile movies out there and it would seem ‘Xtro’ was just a poor victim of media propaganda.

‘Xtro’ is certainly worth a look in my opinion for sci-fi/horror fans. Complete with a delightfully erratic and haunting 80’s soundtrack the movie is fairly entertaining despite its shortcomings. ‘Xtro’ is probably not for those who expect a lot of action but instead a good movie for people who like slow-paced movies with various plot aspects to think about. My rating for ‘Xtro’ – 7/10.

X-ellent
Delving equally into the realms of both sci-fi and horror, this terrifically trippy gem is a wholly unique and fantastic relic from the early ’80s splatter cycle that deserves much wider recognition than it currently enjoys.

The film is largely focused on a young lad named Tony, who witnesses his father vanishing into a blinding beam of extraterrestrial light. Three years later, Daddy inexplicably comes back to reunite with his son, but this touching reconnection has obstacles in the form of Tony’s mother and her new boyfriend, both of whom are understandably curious why the absentee father was gone without a trace for so long and exactly where he was during that span.

Thankfully, we’re let in on the secret early, and we know that the genesis of the proud papa’s return involves the arrival of a temperamental alien beastie, which disembowels pesky humans who get in its way and utilizes a decidedly phallic tentacle appendage to impregnate an unfortunate gal and grace her with dicey honor of giving birth to Dad 2.0. In the film’s most unquestionably indelible sequence (which we can only assume is the one that prompted Xtro’s addition to the “Video Nasties” list), we get to witness the gory and gooey re-emergence of Tony’s dad, who actually crawls out of the woman’s womb and bites through his own umbilical cord for good measure.

Though the term is never used in the movie, the titular Xtro seems to be a monstrous interstellar parasite of some sort, which Tony’s father passes on to him. The transference imbues Tony with the ability to bring his toys to life and set them forth on murderous missions, and to summon a creepy dwarven clown to serve as his henchman. If that last bit sounds silly, okay, it probably is, but I’ll be damned if the film-makers don’t pull it off, and the hallucinogenic visuals employed during the clown’s spells of merry mayhem produce some of the coolest moments in the film.

All of the portions that veer into this territory are equally surreal, and though the plot is a bit disjointed because of the way it weaves between straight creature carnage and more bizarre elements like a life-size plastic solider doll stalking an annoying landlord through her apartment, the sum total of Xtro is an extremely enjoyable caper unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Despite the limited production resources at hand, the monster effects are notably impressive, and the movie doesn’t skimp on the red sauce either, so in addition to the uber-splattery birthing scene there are several more grisly set-pieces sprinkled throughout. The climax also boasts some memorable transmogrification visuals as father and son begin to assume their gruesome alien forms, and though the ensuing conclusion where Tony’s mom makes one final dreadful discovery is built on pretty fuzzy logic, it effectively punctuates the film and ends us on a high note (if you dig Xtro enough to explore the bonus features, take a look at the alternate ending; it doesn’t make much more sense than the one that was ultimately used, but it is undeniably nifty).

Elsewhere, the skeletal elements are all well above par. The cast of unknowns clearly took the material seriously, and all of the performances are admirably solid; the presence of the lovely Maryam d’Abo certainly doesn’t hurt either. The pace is steady and engrossing, and there are plenty of unsettling touches of suspense introduced along the way. Additionally, since we never actually see any sort of spacecraft, the presentation isn’t marked by dated matte effects, so the film has held up much better than many of its contemporaries.

Director Harry Bromley Davenport was wise not to provide too many particulars about the lethal lifeforms which populate the world of Xtro. We do get some graphic glimpses of what they’re capable of, but most of their physiology and purpose remains unexplained. This would seem to bode well for future installments in the franchise, since based on what’s here there’s a lot of promise in the prospect of dipping deeper into the mythology of these creatures. I won’t be able to let you know how that turned out until I get around to reviewing parts 2 and 3, but even if the sequels fail to live up to the lofty benchmark that this inaugural outing sets, Xtro works extremely well as a stand-alone venture.

If you share my fondness for the golden age of low-budget splatter and this one has slipped under your radar, do yourself a favor and add it to your list. I’m not sure if Xtro qualifies as a bonafide classic or not, but this evil E.T. flick definitely delivers the goods in a big way. Highly recommended.
