comment
April has a problem. She thought she was going to her family cabin in Echo Lake with her boyfriend Kyle for a quiet, romantic weekend before the cabin is sold. The problem is, Kyle invited his friend Seth, Seth's girlfriend Lex, and Lex's friend Melanie to come with them and party. It will be difficult enough for April to get the real estate pictures taken before the cabin is sold without three hangers-on to deal with.Sheriff Murphy has a problem. Echo Lake has been subject to a series of troubling phenomena, including disappearances, vandalism, and animal mutilations of late. He doesn't want to have to deal with yet another carload of stupid kids visiting the area and thinking they can do whatever they like.When an alien spacecraft crashes in the woods outside the cabin occupied by April and her friends, their weekend of partying is going to become a nightmare for everybody concerned...Extraterrestrial (2014) is a science fiction horror film directed by Colin Minihan, starring Brittany Allen, Freddie Stroma, Melanie Papalia, Gil Bellows, and Michael Ironside. It is the third movie by The Vicious Brothers, after Grave Encounters and Grave Encounters 2Not to be confused with the Spanish film Extraterrestre or the Speculative Documentary Extraterrestrial (2005).

comment
Conspiracy Theorist: Travis, a Shell-Shocked Veteran friend of April's dad, who has a pot farm in the area and lives as far off the grid as he can. He is a cynical, distrustful person who relates to the young people how the government had long ago made a treaty with aliens allowing the abductions of many people so they could experiment on them. All of this turns out to be true, although Kyle dismisses it at the time.

Gilligan Cut: Kyle berates Seth for setting off a Roman candle out the sunroof. Seth protests that there's nobody else on the road. The next shot is them getting pulled over by Sheriff Murphy. April assures the others that Travis is a friend. The very next shot is Travis holding a hunting knife to Seth's throat.

Final Girl: April come as this for most of the movie and it look like she does make until the end along with Kyle, but they both are killed by the army. Somehow played straight with minor character Nancy McPherson, who is taken by aliens, but is returned back to earth. She is also the Sole Survivor character in the entire movie, but she stops appearing after the first movie half.
