ALIEN BOY is a short horror film set a year after an alien invasion, in a world dealing with its effects. Jed and his Uncle don’t trust the news and believe the invasion has been exaggerated. When Jed comes face to face with a flesh-eating alien, Uncle refuses to believe him, and it gets him killed. Inspired by Backrooms and Terrifier, the film uses a news broadcast, VHS footage, day-for-night colour grading and After Effects gore to build a mystery the audience pieces together. It explores how refusing to believe the truth can be as dangerous as believing fake news.
