Decoys 2004

I watched this movie again last night to freshen my memory a bit as to why I liked it when it first came out.  I look at Decoys as kind of an 80's throwback and that was my obvious attraction to it because I love 80's type horror.  It's kind of goofy and a little lame but harmless.  It has some logic that's hard to wrap yourself around but hey, isn't it that type of mindless escape that movies are supposed to provide for the average fan, well a fan like me anyway?

Decoys is the story of a group of female aliens coming to the earth to get some good old male DNA because all the guys on the planet they come from are dead. The goal of this group of female aliens is to seduce young college aged males, pretty much any college aged male and have sex with him. It takes only three days for them to have a kid and it'll take no time to get their home planet up and running.  At least I think that's their plan because that part of the story is kind of confusing.  Problem though is the alien ladies need to figure out a way to make love without freezing their partner to death.  This is making for lots of frozen male corpses being found on the college campus where the movie takes place which can be kind of hard to explain to the administration.

The movie has all the college stereotypes you can think of.  The top athlete whose great looking but dumb as a rock, snotty and bitchy sorority president, smart but good looking girl in love secretly with our hero good guy and lastly his goofy buddies wanting some hot alien love, not believing their pal who has seen the great looking and amazingly built aliens in their true form.  More important to get some than not get some, screw the chances of getting frozen to death.

That's one of the things you find in these type of movies. The female aliens coming from other planets that can always make themselves look like Playboy Playmates. Or if males, they look like guys off the cover of GQ (think Critters and Starman).  They're rarely less than a solid "9" which is why when I come back after my time here's done I come back as one of these morphing aliens.  No more treadmill, weights or watching what I eat, I'll be on auto pilot to a great look.  I can't wait.

I give Decoys a "C Plus".  It could have used a little more in the dialogue department and maybe one smart but ugly alien chick.  At some point I'll review Decoys: The Second Seduction, which was even better.  Watching both in the same night is a good time for sure.
