A couple of years ago I read an article in the Los Angeles Times about the French film industry trying to regain market share by making more Hollywood-like films. "Atomik Circus" just may be the result...

All right, I'll admit I swooned over Steven Spielberg's recent remake of the War of the Worlds along with every other monster kid. But Debora didn't care for the film because she felt it lacked the sense of humour and good nature of the earlier b-movies. And after thinking about it for awhile, I really couldn't disagree with her. That's why news of this film is so exciting.

"Atomik Circus" seems to have all the charm and humour of the original "Tremors" and other b-movies about odd alien invasions in backwater communities with pop performances by actress/model Vanessa Paradis.
