Right? Was that a reference to CancerMan? They seriously need to reboot that show.

Jillian Anderson has started a kickstarter for a new one. I also loved the X-Files nod :)

end transmission,

Really!? She can be the new Skinner. I want good fresh new main characters though. With a fresh extra-conspiracy-ridden storyline.

they did. it was called Fringe :)

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of that show FRINGE. They cut it short for some reason and the last two seasons suffered for it. They could do with a reboot of that as well but it seems the demand is gone for these types of shows ... now they want pawn shop wars, iron chef, and Ghost Hunters garbage.

I came here to post about this haha...I thought that was awesome!

I was wondering the same thing. Didn't exect that ending, and I liked that about it. It didn't end how most horror movies ended.

That guy did look like a younger cancer man though.

Thats why I'm totally wondering if the resemblance was intentional.

Was the Lady at the beginning (Nancy Mcpherson) also a reference to, Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape?

I thought the same! And I like both references. Nice movie!

I believe it's the smoking man from the x-files when he was younger or at least a sub to William B. Davis

Clearly an homage to the smoking man from The X-Files.

CSM all the way! The next X-Files movie really needs to have him in it, I refuse to believe he is gone.

He's in the Season 10 comics maybe ;)

I thought it was pretty clever
the movie shows its respect to Alien/Sci-fy/X-files fans.

The Aliens themselves resembled Slender Man which was pretty cool
