Even the great christopher walken couldnt save this disaster of a movie!


Even the great christopher walken couldnt save this disaster of a movie.
It was like the director was directing a music video with aliens in it,didnt know if this movie was supposed to be a comedy or a thriller?
Even the probing scene,the way it was directed,i couldnt take it seriously!

Critics say that Walken's performance actually ruined this film.

Well, Walken was given idiotic things to say and do. And Whitley Strieber, odd though he may seem to some, is hardly the NYC scarecrow hipster Walken portrays in the film. "NYC scarecrow gets raped by deformed aliens and ends the story by shaking hands and dancing with them! Oh! - and he sees his Doppelganger as an evil stage magician!" The film distorts several profound, complex themes that are embedded in Strieber's original book, and throws a big fat pie right in Walken's face. Too bad the viewer is also the recipient.
