Something went wrong...
Music is what happens between the notes, someone said. I read Communion, I listened to the audio book reading by Roddy McDowell. As skeptical as I am inclined, both versions got me and gave me vibes of high weirdness. While I listened and read, I bought it. So when I got hold of the video, I was hopeful. But FILMING it and making it a visual treatment hit a brick wall. I watched, found myself saying every few minutes, 'oh give me a Break!', or 'You can't be serious..' I believed Strieber's account LESS after watching. A reading, either on paper or listening to a story teller, reaches inside the mind. Film is for the eyes, visuals first.If you want to test plausibility, take the mystery out of the shady corners inside the mind and put it out front, under lights and cameras. If you can translate it, you might have credibility left.
