2004 Isaidub New | Decoys
is a notable entry in the sci-fi horror genre. If you are a fan of teen horror with an extraterrestrial twist, this film offers a unique blend of suspense and early 2000s nostalgia.
- The Vibe: The film excels at campiness. It knows exactly what it is. The special effects are dated by modern standards (the alien transformations are particularly cheesy), but that adds to the charm. It feels like a late-night movie you’d catch on the Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy) in the mid-2000s.
- The Cast: The film features early performances from Corey Sevier as the protagonist, Luke, and a pre-fame Kim Poirier. There is also a memorable, albeit brief, appearance by a young Meghan Ory (Once Upon a Time) and Nicole Eggert (Baywatch). The acting is over-the-top, fitting the soap-opera tone of the film perfectly.
- The Scares: It is not particularly scary. It relies more on the "erotic thriller" vibe of the late 90s/early 2000s than genuine horror. The kills are creative (freeze-rays and ice-block impalements), but the tension is low.
