Odd frickin’ movie! But then again the real Whitley Strieber is quite the odd duck himself. In fact it was a recent episode of Last Podcast On The Left where he was interviewed that made me want to check this out! But I’ve wanted to check it out for a while ever since seeing some memes on Instagram of Christopher Walken dancing with the aliens (seen it set to The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang and Weird Al’s polka version of Nine Inch Nails’ Closer!)

This is one of the most bizarre films I’ve ever seen.
Imagine David Lynch directed Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
