A good college-age comedy horror with many ideas taken from movies such as 'Species'. Not really very gory and I think it would only really scare teenagers. Had it not been a comedy I would've had quite a few criticisms about this movie. It starts of showing college life as being all sex drugs and rock and roll. The girls of the fraternity house are beautiful, ravenous sex sluts and as the movie progresses we find out this is because they are aliens trying to save their race from extinction. In order to do this they must mate with human men but must perfect their technique so they do not kill them in the process.Towards the end there were a few cheesy emotional scenes that weren't really necessary for this type of movie, though I would still recommend it if you're wanting a laugh and a story that's easy to follow.

This flick is really one for teens looking for some science fiction and a bit of horror. And if those teens are into blonds than they surely have found what they are looking for. And as an extra, they show their tits. Wow, as a teen I really would liked it, it's all about teens and remembered me of flicks like The Faculty. But for me it was just a cheap rip off of Species. Here we have sexy blonds looking out for teen boys to freeze them to death. Once they are making love their chest, in fact their missing belly button spawns some tentacles. But from there on things go wrong, it's all CGI. And the use of CGI and no blood tears this flick down. It is said that it is also a comedy, well, warn me when I have to laugh. Not for me this one but for teens, well, they will love those decoys.

You can't take this movie too seriously. If you do, you will end up hating it as much as some guys do here (even read something about worst movie ever). It's always in the eye of the Beholder of course, but this can be a fun ride if you let yourself enjoy it (if you have seen the trailer, you know where it's heading).Though don't go into watching the movie, because of the definition of the "R"-rating it got. If you want to watch it, because of the "nudity", there is other movies to get more "excited" about (pun intended). The acting is passable for a horror comedy and of course there are quite a few mistakes to be found here (plot-wise). But again, it doesn't try to sell itself as something different than it is. Maybe it's more a 4/10 movie, but who's counting anyway? ;o)

"Decoys" is one more of those new low budget horror movies that are coming straight to video these days. However, "Decoys" shines among the rest of b-grade films because of the simple fact that it is quite funny and entertaining despite its clichéd storyline. This is no "Ginger Snaps" (the Canadian horror cult-film) of course, but it is very close to be great.The plot follows the adventure of Luke (Corey Sevier), a young man in his first year in college, who just discovered that the two beautiful students he just met are actually murderous aliens who kill every guy they have sex with. Of course nobody believes him, and the movie follows his lonely attempt to prove he is not insane. To make things worse, his best friend Roger (Elias Toufexis) is currently dating one of the aliens and is very interested in losing his virginity this year.With a storyline like that one would expect a cheap and dumb teen movie, but "Decoys" manages to keep the interest and the laughs at a good level without becoming stupid or boring. In fact, it slowly develops the characters and one can't avoid to feel for them. Something quite rare nowadays. This is director Matthew Hastings' first feature and boy he did it notably well for a debut.The acting is very good for the most part, although Corey Sevier is a bit weak for a lead role. On the other hand, Toufexis shows a lot of potential in a remarkable performance as Luke's friend that goes beyond being a simple comic relief to become a likable and interesting character. The same could be said of Kim Poirier, who in her role of the alien Constance shows that she is more than a pretty face and sexy body.Of course, like the plot implies, the movie displays its fair share of nudity; not only of Poirier, but also of the beautiful Stefanie Von Pfetten. Fans of these actresses will be pleased.The film has the obvious flaws of a b-movie film, although some of the CG effects are very good. the script its a bit flawed and has some plot-holes, but nothing minor or too distracting. Of course it could had been better, but it is OK for the movie. Also, the film drags a bit by the middle but it recovers its power for a very good and clever ending."Decoys" may not be a horror classic, but it is a very funny mix of horror, comedy and sci-fi. Hastings, Toufaxis and Poirier show a lot of talent and probably they'll have a bright future ahead if they continue this way. This was really a surprisingly entertaining film. 7/10
