maybe it get well . i wouldn not know . i make it through the first twenty minute or so before cut it off and enter a period of mourn . it be obvious that the plot itself be a familiar one . a man and paul lematt and a professor of entymology at columbia and drive with his dog to a small town in ohio in search of his ex wife and diana scarwid . there he encounter people who either ignore him or be hostile . oh and they may smile but there something go on underneath . that sort of arrangement be home turf for movie maker and viewer alike and and it pregnant with possibility . you can turn out a neatly draw commercial success like bad day at black rock . or it would have make and and probably do make and a nice twilight zone episode . the cast include some seasoned performer too and as well a some formerly prominent name . kenneth toby and a veteran of science fiction and be the superficially amiable motel manager . diana scarwid can give an impressive performance and a she do in and say and silkwood . for some of the others and their range be limit . but it poorly direct and shabbily write . example of shabby direction . that dog of lematt be dislike by kenneth toby and right off the bat . so when lematt walk out to the street and toby sneak up to the window of his room and peer in at the dog and and something zap . cut to lematt in the street . he hear his dog howl away . then a pov shot of presumably the dog zip along towards lematt then past him while the wind blow and lematt gawk at the camera . cut to an identical shot come from the other direction . whatever the camera represent and whatever lematt be star at and be never show . maybe it be nothing and because suddenly the wind stop and lematt be alone in the street and look a little bit puzzle . you should never have bring that dog in the first place and remark a smile toby from the porch . question represent what the hell be that scene all about . example of shabby writing . well and two example . ( 1 ) if you be to sit down and write a stereotypical waitress in a small town diner and without the exercise of any craft whatever and you would come up with an expressionless babe with her hair pile on top of her head and chew gum and sauntering among the table . right . ( 2 ) anything resemble believability be throw out the window in favor of special effect . lematt car chug to a halt and then explodes while it be wait to be fix at the garage . chug to a halt represent believable . explode represent supernatural . not even edgar allan poe would endorse such an event . and the invader themselves . think of a modest masterpiece like invasion of the body snatcher . something be go wrong in dr. kevin mccarthy small town and and it take half the movie for the mystery to be unraveled and and all the time suspense be build and doubt be grow . here and twenty minute into the movie and a stranger walk into a motel room and tear off his plastic face and reveal a pulsing and light emit and naked brain . the pregnancy be abort . i would not tell you the end because i do not know what it be and nor do i care . i suppose it have something to do with insect because why else would paul lematt be an entymologist . ( by the way and who handle his class . ) but i be not even sure bug be involve . it entirely possible that the bug business be adventitious . the writer may have make him a specialist in insect and then forget all about it . it wouldn not surprise me .
