This movie released in 1989 is about American ufologist Whitley Strieber based upon the novel of the same name that was first published in February 1987 and "Transformation" released in 1988 . The films Ironically he is also a horror writer, known for the "Wolfen", also a movie released in 1981, and "The Hunger", also a film released in 1983. Since then Mr. Strieber has written direct follow-ups; "Breakthrough: The Next Step" released in 1995), "The Secret School" released in 1996, and "Solving the Communion Enigma: What Is to Come"and released in 2011.
The film follows his first time in realizing that he is an UFO abductee. It all begins with a night up in his cabin with a couple of friend and family in New York. Strange lights were scene and it made his guests uneasy.
As time goes one and more visits to the cabin, something else happens as well. It gets to a point were he begins to question what is really going on, something or someone has scared him. Something has threatened his family. It begins to ruin his marriage slowly.
In seeking help he come to try hypnosis to uncover what had happened. It is revealed that he was abducted and suffers from PSTD. He has a very hard to accepting this as it is extremely unbelievable. Eventually he come to terms with it and starts to uncover the sad truth that this has been happening since he was a child and what is worse.... it will follow his family line.
The movie and book had a profound influence on society, as it is consider a very accurate portrayal of the abduction narrative. The movie is creepy as it does transmit the fear and confusion these alien being bring. The depiction in some circumstances are eerily accurate. The movie though is a bit theatrical and does not necessarily reflect the book keep in mind.
