SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Steineded How sad is this?

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Bezenby Franco Garofalo, some years before quite rightly winning best Oscar for his performance as the undead-baiting, wild eyed Santoro in Zombie Creeping Flesh, plays in this film an alien-baiting, wild eyed photographer called Peter. Now, Peter's out on a photo shot with girlfriend Sherry Buchanan (some years before SHE won best Oscar for having her vocal chords removed in Zombie Holocaust), and although he notes that it's rather creepy out there, it's not until he gets home when he notices he's captured some strange figures in the background.Heading back out to the photo shoot, Peter is then abducted by some aliens who also blind a dog and irradiate some poor fellow. Sherry informs her journalist friend that she's going looking for him, but not before giving him some negatives. Then she vanishes too. Now our hack Tony's going to have to do some investigating, which isn't going to be easy as the cops (led by Martin Balsam, who's hilariously been dubbed by a Yorkshire accent) tells him to take nowt to do w' it.Tony teams up with his UFOlogist mate Coleman and with his secretary also helping out, Tony has to deal with the cops, a special, creepy branch called the silencers, and those aliens themselves, who tend to turn up rather a lot to clear up some clues themselves.At first, I thought this was going to be a snore-fest. Although there was plenty of atmosphere to begin with, it looked like there wasn't going to be too much going on after that. I was wrong though. If it isn't the Silencers turning up now and again to put the squeeze on Tony and give him a kicking, the aliens also appear often to make sure no ones got evidence. These days it would be all posted on Youtube and the aliens could have just typed in 'Fake!' and that would be that.There's loads of double crosses, espionage, proper references to UFO occurrences, and a nice soundtrack. For a late seventies Italian film, there's absolutely no gore, sex and (thankfully) animals getting killed, so that's refreshing for a start. As daft as the aliens look, they still manage to be creepy, as does the final image of what happened to Peter.This is a nice diversion from the usual carnage. Those with patience might like it.

kai ringler A man is doing a photo shoot with a model out in the middle of a field somewhere, and unknowingly he get's footage of alien craft, and aliens. Once he finds out what he's got he stashes the negatives. Sooner or later someone finds out about it,, a clandestine group within the World Government find out and they will stop and nothing to get the negatives back, because they feel if the information is released to the public at large, it will cause a worldwide panic. Meanwhile the photographer place is tossed and everyone is looking for the negatives, the model shows up later in the movie after being traumatized by the aliens although we do not see this part in the movie,, overall it wasn't bad the first half of the movie,, but the second half just turned me off. so that's why I'm going with a 4 rating.

BA_Harrison Photographer Peter (Franco Garofalo) and his model Karin (Sherry Buchanan) are abducted by a UFO. Reporter Tony (Robert Hoffmann) investigates and discovers that a mysterious organisation called 'The Silencers' have been covering up evidence of alien visitations to Earth.Less than 48 hours after watching Eyes Behind the Stars, which pertains to be more sci-fact than sci-fi, the precise details of its plot escape me. I can vaguely recall terrible acting, numerous protracted scenes of inane dialogue between extremely dull characters, some really crap alien costumes, and the overuse of a fish eye lens to give the effect of an alien presence, but very little else.While this is probably due to the fact that the film bored the hell out of me and my brain has refused to retain anything more than the basics, it might just be because, having seen the film, I knew too much and The Silencers have wiped my memory (cue eerie sci-fi music......).

William What was this film?? It begins with the great Italian star Sherry Buchanan doing a phoot shoot in the woods, then the photographer thinks he took a photo of something odd. Then he realizes he took a photo of a UFO, then he goes back to that locaton, gets chased by something (we only see their POV) then gets abducted, then the aliens kill a local old man, and blinds his dog! Then they capture Sherry, then we finally see the aliens, who look like a bunch of guys in sji mask and goggles, then it becomes a detective movie with martin Balsam (dubbed by someone else) and the lead and Natalie Delon trying to find out what happened, as the Goverment "Silencers" are out to stop them! The ending is a real mess, and you realize that in the end, you couldn't root for anyone,and no clear explaniation on what the aliens were dong here, and why were they in cahoots with the baddies! A big bore from Italian cinema, but maybe if it gets re-released on video again, it might find an audience. Not with me though.
