Find out, in this exclusive sneak peek at Alien Raiders, the horror film that's out on DVD tomorrow.

In Alien Raiders, Ritter and his team of rogue alien-hunters track an alien infestation to a supermarket and start trying to figure out which of the people inside have aliens in control. As you can see from the clips below, they have some unorthodox methods of alien detection. And it's up to one smart cop, who keeps his head in a crisis, to keep the situation from going bonkers.

Here's the trailer:


And here are a couple of clips:




Alien Raiders is out on DVD from Warner Bros. tomorrow.

The infection changes humans into what appear to be gag-worthy decomposing masses. The parasitic hosts look pretty sweet as well, like a combination of Aliens' face-huggers and bugs. But even though this film fills a crucial shortage of alien-attack movies, it also falls into a trend that's starting to worry us.

What's the deal with all the quarantined movies? I feel like there are a ton of upcoming films where no one can enter or leave a space. Quarantine and Blindness are both coming soon, and there was also Doomsday last February.

Still, this movie looks pretty exciting for a direct to DVD, and the effects are pretty good. I'm also excited for a whole raider alien hunting posse. Thanks to the Dread Central gang, we get a closer look at what's going to happen to middle America when the aliens take over. Raiders was originally titled Supermarket, and will be released later in the year.
