Viewing Notes
whoa this is a really good one for the ERITFM project! Unlike most of the movies I’ve seen, Eric Roberts is usually a cameo or a small (but good) supporting role. Here is the lead along with Sherilyn Fenn in this total mid-90s sci-fi alien abduction flick. No, the movie is not great but ER is really good. I didn’t realize this was a 1997 flick when I picked it up from the library but I’m very happy to see Eric in a meaty role again beating the shit out of aliens.
