An infamous British cult classic made in 1982 directed by Harry Bromley-Davenport and produced by New Line Cinema, notable for being one of the strangest British horror movies ever made on account of its bizarre plot involving gruesome mutilations, nonsensical imagery and family drama. It stars Philip Sayer, Bernice Stegers, Danny Brainin and Maryam d'Abo.The plot is not that complex - Sam Phillips, a family man, is playing with his son in a field when the sky opens up and he is whisked away by a bright light. Three years later, his son Tony is still trying to cope, and Sam's former wife, Rachel, has a new American boyfriend. But then a light appears in the sky and something lands. Sam's back, and he's none too happy about the new family situation...The film is a bit of divider - its bizarre mash-up of a plot is the very same thing that people either love or loathe about the film. The film's bizarre synthesizer soundtrack, done by the director himself, also contributes to the off-kilter tone of the film.Spawned two sequels, the only connection between being that they have the same director and involve evil aliens. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Xtro / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Both of Sam's alien forms qualify, but especially the first one. It is a quadruped creature that resembles a human scuttling backwards, with its... ehh, "reproductive tentacle" emerging from the slit right below the neck. Also, as above mentioned under Alien Blood, its blood is orange and gelatinous. It also can't seem to survive in Earth's atmosphere for long, or had a very short lifespan, as it died and quickly decomposed overnight after impregnating the woman in the cottage. His final form is a black, alien skeleton with little in way of tissue and skin, pincers for hands, and with its heart located in the stomach. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Xtro / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: When Sam comes back, Tony finds him eating his pet snake's eggs, leading Sam to chase him down a dark alleyway, where he consoles him before leaning in and sucking on his shoulder, Tony moaning during the process. Later Sam refers to it as "our little secret", they comment that the nanny is "perfect" and Tony knocks Analise out and performs a similar process, sucking on her midriff. Sexual abuse metaphor, much? | |

Transhuman Treachery | |
| Xtro / int_19f6e383 | comment |
Transhuman Treachery: Once Sam becomes an alien, he embraces Blue-and-Orange Morality and feels no qualms about exploiting every Earthling he comes across, even after he turns back into a human. Once Tony begins the transformation process, he too adopts the same attitude, feeling little remorse about killing his neighbor and turning his babysitter into a seed-producing husk. | |

Reality Warper: Sam, after turning Tony into an alien, gives him the power to "If you think really hard about something, it will happen." Afterwards, Tony manifests a creepy clown, a jaguar, and causes his toys to attack. The trailer for the film even states that the titular alien bears "powers of black magic from deep space." | |

| Xtro / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Where to begin? Sam's first alien form, a quadruped, deformed creature that seemingly moves backwards. The cottage lady which alien-Sam impregnates, and as result she later gives birth to a fully grown Sam, killing her in the process. Analise, once Tony infects her with alien DNA, turns her into a living egg-dispensing cocoon. Sam as he slowly rots and falls apart after having sex with Rachel, and becomes a skeletal alien with a beating heart visible in his chest and pincers for hands. | |

| Xtro / int_791ae258 | comment |
Eldritch Starship: The strange, triangular glowing energy-ship which kidnaps Sam, then brings him back to Earth three years later. It can also apparently change size and shape, as it's seen towering above Sam and Tony during the film's climax, awkwardly lying on the side before shrinking and disappearing in a flash of light. It's even debatable whether it's a ship or just a portal to the alien world, as Tony simply walks into it and disappears. | |

Asshole Victim: Mrs. Goodman is a downplayed example; she's shown to be a nice woman in most scenes. Her biggest crime was horribly killing Tony's pet snake Henry, but it was out of panic. At worst, she's just an annoying cheek pincher, which is why Tony is less than receptive to her. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: While he doesn't go out of his way to harm anyone, Sam still causes deaths of several people throughout the film. His first victims are a couple who struck him with their car by accident while he was in his alien form. His second victim is a lady living in a cottage, which he impregnated because his alien form, as evident post-impregnation, had a limited lifespan so he needed someone to quickly use as a host until he is ready to emerge as fully grown human. Once he is reunited with his family, he is seemingly happy to finally be with his son again, and apparently tries to rekindle his relationship with Rachel, despite her having a boyfriend. Once they get to the cottage however... Arguably, the unseen aliens that originally kidnapped Sam could qualify as well. They separated Sam from his family and caused his son severe trauma that gave him nightmares for three years, took him to their world and genetically altered him in order to be able to live there, and then allowed him to return to Earth so he can bring his son back with him. After all the things Sam does in the movie as soon as he lands on Earth, it's safe to say these aliens, the major culprits behind his new personality, have very warped sets of morals, if any. | |

Was Once a Man: Upon being abducted, Sam has been altered by the aliens to survive on their homeworld. After returning to Earth, he seemingly looks human but as the plot goes on, it becomes increasingly obvious that he is anything but human. | |
