Interview…Dominic Mariche and Calem MacDonald on Goo, Gore and Good Times in ‘Kids Vs. Aliens’

For all you film fans missing the days of Saturday morning cartoons and gleeful amounts of practical gore, Jason Eisener has something right up your alley. His gooey homage to weird, wild and extraterrestrial yarns from yesteryear will keep you entertained for the full run time.

His latest is a raunchy throwback thrill ride about kids fighting aliens…and you really don’t need much more of a premise than that. Suffice to say, there is a whole lot of fantasy and sci-fi elements mixed in for good measure which makes this genre stew overstuffed (and gross) yet highly surprising and satisfying.

We saw Kids Vs. Aliens last September and spoke to Eisener when he brought it to Fantastic Fest. That was a lot of fun as we talked about kids, aliens, toys and Rutger Hauer’s improv. But today we’ve got something even more awesome to share with you: a one-two punch of interviews with stars Dominic Mariche and Calem MacDonald.

Grab your sword, laser gun and headphones and join us on this intergalactic adventure to save Earth and kick alien butt!!

All Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend, an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night.
