When it comes to the scenes on board the alien spacecraft, this film really delivers. I saw this film when it was first released in 1993 and I remember thinking back then that the alien scenes were creepy and scary. Watching it again, 29 years later, those scenes lived up to my memories. The 10 minute scene where Travis (D.B.

She reminded me of a very young Tracey Ullman with platinum hair. Susan Fleming's acting skills were about on the same level as another star from this period, Ruby Keeler (who, by the way, is not in this film), in other words, wooden.…
