Spelling's 'Worst' Set Experience Revealed
16 Aug
Summary
- Tori Spelling recounted a difficult directorial experience on Evil Alien Conquerors.
- She felt singled out for constant retakes by the director.
- The actress sought an uncredited role due to the intense set tension.

Tori Spelling recently detailed her most challenging directorial experience on the set of the 2003 sci-fi comedy, "Evil Alien Conquerors." She described constant, excessive retakes requested by director Chris Matheson.
Spelling felt singled out, with Matheson frequently asking for "just a little bit less" in her comedic delivery. This process was reportedly far more rigorous than what her co-stars endured.
The actress initially hoped the film would be a departure from her iconic "Beverly Hills, 90210" role. However, the persistent direction left her feeling scrutinized and miserable.
Ultimately, the on-set tension was so high that her agent intervened, requesting that Spelling's appearance be uncredited. The film itself later skipped a U.S. theatrical release and was distributed directly to DVD.
