Close encounter of the pre-natal kind., 8 May 2008
6/10
Author: tyler-and-jack from Edinburgh.

Ahhhhh, Brian Yuzna, never a true master of horror but always providing me with genre fun and this movie is no different. Arnold "The Mummy" Vosloo becomes convinced that his wife is pregnant with an alien child after one of their bedroom sessions is strangely interrupted and time is lost to both of them. As events unfold we end up doubting Vosloo, becoming suspicious of many other characters and, eventually, deciding whether we are witnessing a lone alien fighter or a man having a nervous breakdown. All up to the last scenes that remove the ambiguity from the film.

This movie has some good gore, a decent script that gets a bit laughable in places and mostly decent acting. And it's always good to see Brad Dourif in a horror movie, he's an established genre favourite, but as someone else has already said things play out like a cross between "The X-Files" and some DTV movie. Still, Yuzna fans should find enough here to keep them happy, as I did.

See this if you like: Brian Yuzna, The X-Files, Inseminoid.
