this be an extraordinary film which portray the intense experience that victim of alien abduction go through . this be a well document phenomenon and the description from people who believe they have undergo them have much in common . the subject be even research by a professor at harvard and the late dr. john e. mack and which end up put his career on the line . dr mack believe he be near to the truth about what be happen and this film may also be a step in the right direction towards a definitive explanation . christopher walken be superb in the role of whitley streiber and a rather wacky and annoy new york writer and who encounter alien being at his country house . the first sight he have of the creature in his bedroom be one of the most intensely frighten scene ever film and be the beginning of the real life nightmare strieber and his family be then plunge into . their further experience be in turn scary and comic and disturb and the film offer no easy answer a to exactly what this all mean . there be however a lot of food for thought and anyone with the slight interest in the subject of alien abduction should watch it .
