This is a movie about the true abduction experience of Whitley Strieber and his family at his upstate New York cabin. This is a really good dramatization of his experiences. Anyone interested in the subject of UFOs should have a copy in his collection. Highly Recommended!
August 25, 2008Nothing to do 100 cartwheels over, but a reasonably enjoyable film. Lindsay Crouse plays such strong-willed career women, and it was interesting to see her as an everyday housewife.
July 16, 2008As most film adaptations of great novels go, this could have been better. There were a few pieces missing that I felt were very important in the book. This movie was more about the effect on the family and just what happened to Whitely.
I will say though that Christopher Walken was a great choice. His reactions to the "visitors" are just classic.

Ok alien abduction flick. I always like Chris Walken no matter what movie he's in. Maybe if this was made more recently we would have gotten more specifics. You're not sure if something happened or not, but maybe that's what abduction is. Why are the aliens always so ugly, aren't there any planets with good looking aliens? And their not very sanitary, that spaceship looked dirty and so did the probe thing that came out of the wall, do they clean their instruments before they shove them in us? They don't look very healthy, or very clean. Oh well, Enjoy!

Is Strieber insane. Or is he making this crazy account up to sell books and inspire films? I'll have to say yes to the latter. However, don't let that dissuade you from a creepy film like Communion. Although, the plot is VERY disjointed there are very distubing scenes. Have you ever felt like an alien creature was creeping into your bedroom as you slept? Well, you will after seeing a scene that depicts exactly that. Memorably disturbing scenes of this nature give this otherwise uninteresting film a decent shelf life.
