Alien Autopsy is an Amazing Secret

Review by Mike Heronime

Nobody told me about this movie.  I never saw a trailer for it.  I never saw it listed in theaters.  No commercials.  No reviews.  Nothing.  The fact that a movie about the true story of physical evidence of alien life has somehow escaped my attention makes me think "possible conspiracy to conceal the truth."  Conspiracy or not, it's definitely a crime that this wildly entertaining movie isn't getting more props.

Alien Autopsy is the true story about two guys from England who come to the United States to try to make a fast buck.  They're chasing down vintage Elvis content to resell when they come across a guy with black and white film footage of an Elvis performance.  They buy the footage cheap and a little while later, the guy that sells them the footage comes back to them with another proposition.

So, one of the two friends goes with this guy to his Florida home to find out what he's got that is so great.  There he screens a film made by the guy while he was in the military during WWII.  It is a film of a government run alien autopsy.  Apparently, the military had acquired a dead alien in New Mexico (Roswell) and were cutting it open to learn more about it and they grabbed this guy because he was a military cameraman and had him shoot the whole thing.  Twelve copies of the film were made and as a result of typical government efficiency, he ends up in possession of one of the copies.  Now, (which in the movie is 1995) he wants to sell it to this British wheeler dealer for $30,000.

The Brit doesn't have the money so he borrows $30,000 from a Russian gangster who loves crop circles and is interested in acquiring a copy of the film.  The Brit does the deal and gets the film.  Only one problem.  Ever since they opened the film canister in Florida, the film has been deteriorating.  By the time the  Brit gets the film, it appears to be completely ruined.  He freaks because he is sure that the Russian is going to kill them.  So these two guys do the only thing they can do.  They get their friends together and stage an alien autopsy and film it.  The Russian falls for it.  The boys are in the clear.

That's when they get the bright idea to show the film to other people.  One thing leads to another and all of a sudden, their film is being watched and accepted as the real McCoy on television stations all over the world.  The whole time, they are on the brink of being exposed as frauds.  But somehow luck stays on their side throughout the whole ordeal.

This story is fascinating because it's true.  Hysterical because it's so crazy.  And entertaining because it's so surprising.  If you are one of the few people that have seen this movie, pat yourself on the back.  And tell a few more friends about it.  If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a huge favor and go rent it tonight.  And if you know anything about this movie that everyone else should know, please leave a comment for the rest of us.
