“Alien Raiders” Available On DVD February 17 From Warner Home Video

(November 24, 2008 – Burbank, CA) – How do you fight an extraterrestrial invasion … when you can’t tell who is friend or foe? “Alien Raiders,” the sci-fi/horror film about aliens lurking inside humans and the band of renegade fighters struggling to keep them from taking over, debuts on DVD February 17 from Warner Home Video (WHV) and will be available for $24.98 SRP. Produced by Dan Myrick (co-director of “The Blair Witch Project,” co-writer of “Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2,” director of “Solstice,” “The Believers,” and “The Objective”) and directed by Ben Rock (“Shadow of the Blair Witch,” “Conversations”), “Alien Raiders” is WHV’s sixth acquired title from the successful “Raw Feed” film franchise. The film stars Carlos Bernard (“24”), Jeff Licon (“Mysterious Skin”), Courtney Ford (“Lie to Me”), Samantha Streets (“The Girl from the Naked Eye”), Keith Hudson (“Bad Boys II,” “Sex Drive”), Matthew St. Patrick (“War,” “Six Feet Under”), and Rockmund Dunbar (“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” “Prison Break”). Tony Krantz (“Otis,” “Mulholland Drive,” “Sublime,” “24”) and John Shiban (“The X Files,” “Supernatural,” “Rest Stop”) are also producers. “‘Alien Raiders” explores the mystery, suspense, fear and tension behind mankind's fight for survival against alien invasion,” said producer Dan Myrick. “It takes the ingredients of horror and suspense from previous Raw Feed installments and adds a science fiction element to increase the anxiety factor.” Synopsis Fresh veggies on Aisle 1. Fresh kills throughout the store. Something terrible is happening at Hastings Market. Something bloody. Something deadly. Something inhuman. And caught up in the grisly horror inside the market are shoppers turned hostages, unearthly alien terrors … and a dedicated commando band of raiders on a search-and-destroy mission to stop the intruders dead cold no matter where they hide. From Raw Feed, creators of the “Rest Stop” and “Otis” shockers, comes the sci-fi/horror tale “Alien Raiders,” a nerve-shredding battle for human survival against aliens that invade our world by invading our bodies. Be alert. Beware. Be afraid. The creatures’ next host could be your neighbor. Your kid brother. No – it’s you!
