Certain scenes reminded me somewhat of ET, while the sheriff, who has a fairly strong 'Wild West' type American accent, made me briefly picture a Western. I felt it featured elements of a number of genres, most obviously sci-fi but not exclusively so - it had somewhat of a feel of an old fashioned detective film, with the local sheriff suspecting foul play and being more than keen to get to the bottom of what actually happened. It was one of those films that made me wonder quite how I'd react if I was in the position of being one of Travis' work colleagues. The cast seemed genuinely quite scared and all but terrified of what they'd seen and the camerawork was sufficiently jerky, so as to disorientate the viewer. The visual effects weren't great (this is a film that dates from 1993, so its hardly new) but the story was intriguing enough for me not to feel overly bothered about that, mainly as it is, apparently, based on a true story. At first I wasn't particularly keen on it, with the characters seeming to be quite vain, smug people but the plot starts to come together after a while and it became much more interesting. ![]() ![]() The This is a sci-fi/mystery film, with themes including abduction, friendship and the supernatural. ![]() This is a sci-fi/mystery film, with themes including abduction, friendship and the supernatural.
