In another retelling of the story by Jack Finney, Marti Malone's traveling with her dad on holiday. At a gas station, a soldier tells her to not sleep, because 'they' get you when you sleep. Once in the base, she and her father see people acting odd, and soon realise they're aliens. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Goofs
In the opening sequences, Marti is sitting on the right side of the car looking out the window. When it cuts to show her viewpoint of the moon and passing trees, the perspective is as if she were on the left side of the car.

7/10

They get you when you sleep.

In this remake of a classic, they used Bad Lieutenant and King of New York director Abel Ferrara, and cast the young beauty Gabrielle Anwar (The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines) and "thirthsomething" Terry Kinney in the leads.

Kinney went on to do The Laramie Project later and was fantastic.

If you want conformity, then setting your movie on a military installation ensures that you have an easier time of it. Younger people will love this version, but just updating to modern techniques and special effects doesn't always make for a better picture.

Skintastic Moment: Great view of Gabrielle Anwar's ta-tas waking up on a stretcher.
