the new century's "Birds" and "Night of the Living Dead" with aliens

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2003)

9 out of 10 This is basically a mix of "The Birds" and "Night of the Living Dead" without birds and without zombies, but with freaky aliens and a lot more humor. I really like this movie and I think I've seen it about 5 times already. It is very well acted, with a great Mel Gibson and a remarkable Joaquin Phoenix. An outstanding scene in terms of acting is the scene where Mel Gibson is confronted with the guy who accidently killed his wife (played by the director - I still can neither pronounce nor spell his name) because he fell asleep in the car. The sadness and the anger on Mel Gibson's face is amazing.
DON'T MISS IT!
