Critiques:
“Even with out on a regular basis given over to forcing upon us an intimate data of the woods round Perry Corridor, Maryland, The Galaxy Invader can be one of many been-there-done-that-iest motion pictures of the mid-1980’s. With all of the arboreal padding, it turns into positively soporific.” 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting
“Uneventful, however semi-entertaining […] Whereas the somber temper and deeper themes bode effectively for Galaxy Invader, the vacant second half drowns every little thing out.” Bleeding Cranium! guide
“Chock-full of home made SPFX and a luscious ’80s synth soundtrack, The Galaxy Invader is a stable entry within the pantheon of Dohler, because it good points an ever-growing fan base. Although not fairly as “epic” as The Alien Issue and never as “darkish” as Fiend, TGI stays a enjoyable, typically stunning horror-fi journey set within the woods in and round Dohler’s Maryland homestead!” Oddservations
“The narrative truly revolves extra round a violent lush, performed by one other common Richard Ruxton, spearheading the backward hunt. Each booze-fuelled resolution ultimately drives him to be at lethal odds along with his circle of relatives. In contrast to Dohler’s different straight ahead potboilers, Galaxy Invader affords a morality play over the damaging nature of alcoholism with a facet of ugly alien, tacky optical laser results, and flashpoint explosions.” Basement of Ghoulish Decadence
“This one makes an attempt to inform a extra old school, well-intentioned story a couple of mom and her youngsters combating again in opposition to their brutal patriarch, however it takes too many detours and lacks focus. Mix that with largely unhealthy performing and dialogue, insufficient character growth and poor pacing, and the impact is cardboard schmaltz. There’s additionally not sufficient man-in-a-rubber-suit alien motion in right here both.” The Bloody Pit of Horror
