Fried Barry

First off, what a cool movie poster! Second, wtf was this movie? Lots of bizarre elements to this film but it was pretty fast-paced and enjoyable. We start the film with this dude named Barry who has a wife and a kid he doesn't really pay attention to as he is more focused on getting his next fix. When he finally finds his next fix things take an interesting turn. When he leaves the guy's house he is not only abducted by aliens, he is probed through his pee-pee, butt and head as one of the aliens on board takes over his body. This alien must be emitting some sort of ramped up human sex pheromone because he becomes completely irresistible to a lot of women after this transformation. In fact, he has sex with one woman and when he blows his alien load the woman becomes pregnant and gives birth all within a 5-minute timeframe. That's just the beginning of the weird events. Not too long after, Barry returns home and we can see he has the ability to change the TV channels by blinking, and he doesn't know how to eat a hot dog. He attempts to feed his son who he has neglected as a human father and gets spicy with his wife. Then things really get sort of confusing and even more fast-paced. I think they did a little too much at the end and it got a little confusing. He eventually ends up chained up with this weird pedo and this girl he had been keeping. He not only escapes but the girl also escapes (to the best of my memory) as I said that scene was sort of confusing to me and not sure why they added it other for the sake of the pedo chasing them Leatherface style. Barry in alien form is growing weary of his time here on earth and Barry starts to look a bit decayed over time. We see that the child he made within 5 minutes is a full-grown adult and an exact replica of Barry. Barry temporarily dies and then comes back to life so he can be taken back to his ship. His wife and the girl he speedily knocked up take his to his ship where he is beamed up and the old human Barry is spat back on the ground for them. They don't want Barry! This was a weird film, but I enjoyed it for the most part and liked the cinematography.
