West's first feature film was Razor Blade Smile , released in 1998. His second film, released in 2005, was Evil Aliens , described as a 'British slapstick horror-comedy', in the tradition of films such as Braindead , House , and Evil Dead . It was the first full-length British horror film to be filmed using Sony HD cameras and contains over a hundred digital effect shots as well as many conventional gory special effects.

Following the success of Evil Aliens, West directed a made-for-TV sequel to the 1988 film Pumpkinhead . Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes was co-written by West with Barbara Werner. The film was shot in Romania for the American Sci Fi Channel.
