This british sci-fi horror film mixes up elements of Close Encounters, Alien and any number of David Cronenberg movies and ends up a pretty confused picture. Phil Sayer stars as an alien abductee who returns as a changed being with alien designs on his son It is effective in parts but let down by an incoherent narrative and pretty ropey special effects.
