Wavelength (1983 film)
Wavelength is a 1983 science fiction film written and directed by Mike Gray and starring Robert Carradine, Cherie Currie, and Keenan Wynn. Plot. Bobby Sinclaire (Robert Carradine) , a failing Californian musician, meets telepathic Iris Longacre (Cherie Currie) in a bar and they begin a relationship. At Sinclaire's apartment, Longacre begins to hear things others cannot. The young couple discover the voices are from a childlike race of aliens being held by the U.S. government after their UFO crashed. The government plans to use the trio of aliens for experimentation and dissection in an supposedly abandoned  underground bunker located near Sinclaire's apartment. The couple decides to liberate the aliens and help them return them to their mothership. Reception. TV Guide gave the movie two out of five stars, praising the movie's sense of morality and soundtrack, but found Carradine's performance lacking during the music scenes and the narration at the beginning and ending of the film to be very detrimental to the movie. Moria found that the movie has a promising build up, but that the film heads in predictable directions, and that its special effects were lacking. Creature Feature found that the  movie was an interesting morality tale, and also praised the soundtrack, but said that the use of children to play the aliens hampered the film. Production. It was planned for the movie to be released before "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", but implementation of the film's special effects delayed its release. Soundtrack. Wavelength (1983) is the twentieth major release and third soundtrack album by the German band Tangerine Dream. It is the soundtrack for the film "Wavelength" starring Robert Carradine, Cherie Currie, and Keenan Wynn. Many of the tracks are remixes from other albums:
