This is, quite likely, the worst movie ever made. The acting and dialog are right out of a Middle School play. If this could be considered art, then a chimp pooping on a canvas should be hanging in the MOMA. This is the sort of tripe about which pretentious, hipster snobs in the 60s would have had profound coffee table discussions. The most over-hyped piece of crap I've ever sat through. This makes some of the scare movies from the 1950s look like Ingmar Bergman, but this is just a low-budget piece of trash, probably knocked out in a slow afternoon on some director's ranch. Made during a period when just about anything qualified as an 'art' flick.

This might be an entertaining movie IF you've never seen an X-Files episode, watched 'Signs", E.T., or any other Sci-Fi 'Family-in peril-whom-no-one-believes' movie. Probably the most unoriginal, completely predictable excuse for an SF flick I've seen in the last 2 years. Not saying it's a bad movie, (it's not), it's just that we've seen it about 40 times; and done better. Dad is a failure, (or lost his job, or his latest book didn't sell), and Mom has to support them all. Kids are being 'visited' but are believed by no one. Parents are fine folks but are thought to be 'whackjobs, or abusers' so the benevolent government is ready to step in. Turns out kids are right, parents are just yuppies(which should be a felony by itself), and aliens must be dealt with. Any of this sound familiar?
