Summer of the flying saucer

Without a doubt the worst Irish movie from the last decade. Yes, even worse than over-directed crap like Eden and Anton. Even worse than Kirsten Sheridan's next movie! Imagine an amateur theatre group decided to make a feature film with a group of transition-year filmmakers from a local school. Now imagine a script written by a primary-school teacher about aliens visiting the area back in the 1960s. That's about it. How in name of the higher almighty did this pile of sh*te get funding? Well done to the IFB for this! When people say Irish cinema is in great shape it's because they haven't seen stuff like Summer of the flying saucer. The clothes look like costumes, the acting is straight from the Xmas panto, the music on the soundtrack contains every cliché you've heard from all those famous sci-fi films, the story about aliens stranded on earth is staggeringly unoriginal, the slow pacing would tire you, the intelligence is non-existent, and the whole film sucks so much that I woke up this morning with a headache.
