The aliens are possessing the depressed and downtrodden while trying to have sexual relations with our hot women in Albert Pyun’s sci-fi thriller, Deceit. A lonely man, Bailey (Norbert Weisser), lies along the deserted road next to an oil refinery and finally ends it all, guzzling down a gallon of bleach. Before the body has a chance to go cold, an alien life force takes over.
One month later, Hiram (Christian Andrews), Wilma (Diane Defoe), and Eve (Samantha Phillips) are about to embark on a long trip to Vegas. As Bailey approaches the car, desperate for a ride to the bank, Hiram lets him with the intent of robbing the stranger.
Soon, Bailey gets the upper hand and kills Hiram and Wilma. He takes Eve to an abandoned building and tells her that he’s a perverted space alien with nuclear reactors in his pockets. He demands that Eve remove all her clothes before he has sex with her. It looks like Bailey has until midnight to have sex with Eve before he and his partner Brick (Scott Paulin) blow up the Earth.
If you think my description of Deceit is weird, wait until you see the movie from prolific sci-fi director Albert Pyun. Deceit is his lowest-budget film, coming in at $20,000. Most of the film takes place in an empty room and features Bailey, Brick, and Eve in what could be considered a stage play driven by mysterious dialogue.

“…tells her that he’s a perverted space alien with nuclear reactors in his pockets.”
Eve is our protagonist, who must sift through Bailey and soon Brick’s stories while trying to figure out the truth in a sea of lies. Bailey and Brick’s singular goal is to have sex with Eve. Now Eve must keep her wits about her to keep from being raped. For Bailey, it becomes a battle of control and a fight for Alpha status. In Brick, she appeals to the slightest shreds of decency he still possesses but primarily to his h***y libido.
Sam Phillips carries most of the acting weight in the film as she is the straight person butt up against her perverted and insane counterparts. As Bailey and Brick, Weisser and Paulin seem to have the most fun playing the dastardly duo. While Bailey is openly crazy, Brick gets to be the calm, cool, calculated nut job of the pair.
It’s very difficult to recommend Deceit. Its attempts at saying something meaningful get muddled by the crazy, over-the-top alien encounter. There’s a seriousness that needs to be maintained. Though I appreciate Phillips’s attempt at keeping her character grounded in a hot and sexy way, it’s simply difficult to take Deceit seriously.
