A Freaky Little Movie
Don't expect large-scale entertainment from this one, and don't expect definitive answers regarding aliens. The attractions here are low-key but satisfying. That's it's a `true story' (however you wish to interpret that) gives it an element of spookiness. Christopher Walken is delicious to watch in anything. Eric Clapton provided the coolly elegant theme music. All the performances are good. I've watched it several times and it's begun to feel like an old friend, being more soothing than harrowing. Not a lot happens (or does it?), but the creepiness is pervasive and realistic. I'm only mildly interested in the alien abduction phenomena but this does give an interesting portrayal of...something.
