While trying to lose their virginity, two college guys discover some of the girls on campus are actually terrifying creatures from outer space. You’re either going to like that summary or you’re not. Decoys is a low-budget flick with respectable ambitions, but its thin story needs to rest on stronger characters and more charismatic actors. The lead boy (Corey Sevier) is easy on the eyes, but dull. The chubby sidekick guy (Elias Toufexis, channeling a combination of Chris Penn and Sean William Scott) is annoying for half the film, then jarringly serious after the mid-point. I mean, would a horny college guy really knowingly risk his life to do it with an alien chick? The movie is so goofy for so long, the serious turn in act two is hard to take. The creature design is decent, executed through a mix of practical and computer-generated effects (the practical is more convincing than the CGI).
