Watching Alpha Gang, the new sci-fi comedy from Sasquatch Sunset filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner, it is very easy to imagine what a thrill it must have been to cook up the look of the thing.
The leads — a small squadron of aliens who’ve infiltrated our planet — are decked out in the studded leather jackets of a 1950s motorcycle gang. Their home base, nestled deep into some war-torn European countryside, looks simultaneously like the ruins of an ancient castle, an opulent cave lair suitable for Dracula, a retro-futuristic spaceship with gleaming chrome surfaces.
