NARRATIVE FEATURES
“THE ALIENS”
(105 Min., USA)
Jacob waits every Saturday night in the desert waiting for extra-terrestrials to arrive. One night,
a Mexican coyote, Maria, walks into his campsite leading a group of travelers across the des-

in the aliens above he has never seen or to pursue the illegal alien that keeps walking into his
campsite week after week. FYI: Part of the film was shot at Giant Rock near Landers, 60 miles
down 247, and they shot a couple of days near Saddleback Butte State Park near Lake Los
Angeles 40 miles in the other direction. (LDS)
