Moviegoers are saying
This sci-fi creature feature attempts to blend E.T.'s heart with Alien's horror, but audiences are divided on whether it succeeds or just feels like a knockoff ordered from 'Temu.' While some appreciate the impressive practical effects from the Henson Company and Lulu Wilson's committed performance, many find the tone confusing and the premise too derivative to overlook.

ericaJan 30, 2026Hated how the alien sounded like a wounded animal. Didn’t like much else either.

I think when you have movies like this that are so similar to others, the most significant difference here is how much bigger & creeiper the creature is. Matthew Loren Oates directs with an impressive debut, showcasing what he's bound to do as a filmmaker. Lulu Wilson…

joshrowleyJan 16, 2026When i was in 4th grade, we had an assignment to write a book for Turkish class. I wrote a 30 something page story about an alien, whose ship crashes on earth and a young girl who helps him go back home (props to 11 yo me for writing a female lead). When i drew the cover…

I'm gonna be honest with you. I kind of want a pet Xenomorph now. Xeno is a fun Spielberg style film that has a similar vibe to E.T., however while E.T. was adorable and cuddly, Croak looks like he could rip your face off at any moment. Rocking tarry black skin and…
Xeremy Hall 🟠🟢🔵Apr 11, 2026Okay sure it's a less enchanting and more violent E.T., I get that consensus line of criticism being sent Xeno's way, and I don't really have a strong case against shooting it down, but I have to say I quite enjoyed this film, seemingly much more than the vast majority of…
Jedidiah RoseSep 21, 2025Xeno is basically what if ET was a xenomorph... and what if the government spooks chasing him weren't so nice. It's about a teen girl who stumbles on a heavily toothed alien creature one night and decides to bring it home and hide it in the basement. Meanwhile, not-so-nice…

They did a good job with the alien looking ferocious, but when it walks, it looks human. There’s a lot of backstory in this movie, but it really helps understand the girl in this movie and why she does what she does. Nothing too new here in the movie kind of ends abruptly, but still a good watch.
