This is just a fun high school alien film. They had good cast and also an Usher appearance. They story is similar to the Thing, a lot of scenes feel copy and pasted. I don’t plan on rewatching anytime soon but for what it was I had a good time with it.

The real reason they had to start the invasion in small town Ohio is because the CIA already started the crack epidemic in urban America
