Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

weyrleader47 It wasn't the plot or the cast nor the (Aliens) nor the location I hated about this almost watchable movie.... It was lines like..." Sometimes my dad gets so mad he doesn't really know who he's hurting" "But that's OK BC lots of dads are like that.. Right.?" Spoken by the child who blames himself for his moms death.What was worse is that the woman treating him. AGREED. Sure its normal..NO IT Isn't. Normal dads don't strip everything fun from their child's bedroom BC they think he was bad. And then blame the child..Whoever wrote this script need psychological help...

ender34 This modest little film packs a pretty good punch for anyone willing to take it for what it is. The story was well paced and the ending was unexpected (by me and I think by most posters). The performances were all at least adequate; Bobby Edner's was better than that. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of most of the reviews posted here. Half the reviewers couldn't spell Kinski's name even while they drooled over her looks. Many complained about the cheesy special effects (or rather 'effect' since there was only one), apparently unaware that the cheesiness was deliberate. Some reviewers seem not to have understood the denouement though it was clearly spelled out. Others seem to have watched the entire film expecting it to be a remake of its namesake and came away shaking their heads at the fact that it wasn't. I give the film a 7 (would be 7+ if there were such a rating) but this review thread as a whole rates a 3 (and that only because of a few posters who actually understood the filmmakers' intentions).

Breno Bacci Yes, this is true. Not actually spoilers here, but I've checked that box over there just in case...It's NOT about the end of the world. It's not even close to that. The only reason I've wasted 1 hour and a half watching it was because of the title... Well, maybe because of Natassja, too...Anyways, I've been checking my Vote History to see if it was worth anything more than an 1 out of 10, and IT'S NOT! Seriously, the only thing I could think of while I was reading the credits in the end was: - Oh my! Natassja and Randy are probably cocaine-addicts and HAD to do this movie in order to pay some debts with their dealers...What other reason would such good actors have to be in such a terrible movie like this?

markimp A waste of time. A thrown together TV flick with a plot that is thin and full of holes. A school therapist (Kinski) drives in to a small town and quickly encounters several of the odd characters who reside there. A sheriff stops her to administer a lecture about her driving techniques and gives off the 'we don't cotton much to strangers in these parts" vibes. The school principal comes off as a doofus and the school nurse appears to have received her training in a prison. Kinski immediately encounters a young boy who is in the school office after a playground scuffle. She realizes that the kid is troubled (or just weird) and begins a head shrinking dialog. The lad's father (Randy Quaid), the town doctor arrives to fetch his son and tells Kinski to back off and leave the kid alone. As the movie drones on we learn that the boy's mother was murdered by the townies..no reason given...and the boy believes that his father was a space alien who has returned to take him home, wherever home may be. There is some gore with murdered citizens having their faces ripped off and an armed mob of town crazies takes to the woods to "get" the supposed alien. The movie grinds to a soggy and unsatisfactory ending....thankfully.
