Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Platypuschow This early 80's lighthearted scifi is going to win no awards for, well anything but certainly does have its qualities.Starring Robert "Revenge Of The Nerds" Carradine this early 80's scifi effort tells the story of a girl who begins to hear ominous noises coming from a supposedly abandoned military base. With her boyfriend in tow they go investigating and find more than they ever could have expected.Though extremely dated the film is interesting enough to keep a viewers attention but has severe pacing issues and the ending is highly predictable and underwhelming.I was just waiting for Carradine to deliver his trademark laugh and always find myself struggling to take him seriously despite him being a terrific actor.Wavelength is a decent enough effort but hardly original.The Good: Robert Carradine Well made The Bad: Very dated Pacing issuesWeak finale Things I Learnt From This Movie: Naked children make me very uncomfortable If Carradine had played his Revenge Of The Nerds character this film would have been brilliantIn every single movie the governments reaction to aliens is exactly how I'd imagine they'd react in real life
somairot616 Forget about reverse E.T. or whatever that other comment was "trying" to tell you. Whether you think this movie is Good or Bad Cherie Currie is Great. She was great in the Runaways. She was Great in EVERY movie she was in and she's still great in her singing career now. ROCK ON CHERIE YOU'RE THE BEST
moonspinner55 Robert Carradine is a hack L.A. musician who lives near an abandoned Air Force Base, Cherie Currie is his semi-psychic girlfriend who hears a strange, high-pitched sound coming from within. That's the set-up for a slow yet engrossing science-fiction story which is by turns credible and yet too mechanical. The middle portion of the film sags with the weight of far too much technical jargon and yammering from government yahoos. Once things get back to Carradine and Currie, the movie recovers for an emotional conclusion. This is the best role Currie's had since 1980's "Foxes" and Carradine is an easy, giving actor who never mugs or hams. Keenan Wynn is also good in support, and the desert locales for the ending are well-captured. A minor offering from New World Pictures, though a highly competent one. **1/2 from ****
Barnabas Substituted for expensive, spine-tingling special-effects, are an engaging story and credible performances, particularly from Cherie Currie. If you like seeing what a capable independent filmmaker can do with a limited budget - I recommend this film.
