Overview

Five friends set out to a cabin in the woods for a fun weekend getaway that is, until extraterrestrial visitors turn it into a fight for their lives. The group is pulled from their reverie when a flickering object crashes deep in the woods. As they investigate, the friends stumble across an alien spacecraft, and its inhabitants have not arrived in peace.

"Extraterrestrial" takes the well-worn concepts of space-creature marauders and doomed party-hearty cabin weekenders and opts to fling the litany of horror and sci-fi cliches at you in the manner of monkeys well armed with dung.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

"Extraterrestrial" feels like a wish-fulfillment project; perhaps less self-indulgence was in order.

Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten

If aliens travel thousands of light-years to terrorize you, the least you can do is put them in an exciting movie.

Jordan Hoffman, New York Daily News
Rotten

It's in the final act that the pic becomes more ambitious and interesting, though not quite enough to lift the whole from decent-time-filler status to something more inspired.

Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten

A movie of pure, undigested cliches, set to a generic pattern of jump scares and fake-outs.

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club
