“Yes, could I have a BLT? Room 2121.”
A college professor (Paul Le Mat) goes looking for his missing wife and finds a town that appears to be stuck in the 1950s. While there, he’s attacked by an alien but manages to escape. He then tries to get a reporter (Nancy Allen) to believe his story, which she does after she has her own close encounter.The ’80s was a fun decade for movies, not only for original material but also for movies that were inspired by the great sci-fi flicks of the ’50s, such as this one. It’s an enjoyable sci-fi horror movie that doesn’t take itself seriously but isn’t a straight-up comedy, either. Nancy Allen is lots of fun and Louise Fletcher is terrific in a supporting role. Paul Le Mat makes for an unassuming lead but he’s quite good in the part. My favorite part of the whole movie is Michael Lerner’s flashback scene. Love seeing older actors like Kenneth Tobey, Charles Lane, and June Lockhart. There are also some amusing genre references I got a kick out of. The sets, props, and special effects are excellent. Good use of location filming by director Michael Laughlin. Why does it seem no one shoots in small towns anymore?
It’s a little slow-going and I can imagine some viewers will be frustrated that it skirts the line between straight sci-fi and comedy as much as it does. It’s an entertaining movie, particularly if you like ’50s sci-fi. I think it gets better with repeated viewings.
Unexpected sleeper that might knock your sox off…
This is a “smaller” science fiction film about aliens being discovered on Earth. Excellent cast, intelligent story and suspense carry this well above others of its kind. Well worth a viewing by fans of the genre. Solid 8 according to the Miller Movie formula.
