Silent Warnings (2003 TV Movie)
1/10
Terrible Sci-Fi movie
16 May 2006
Why the likes of Billy Zane and Stephen Baldwin would do this silly 2003 film beats me. I have great respect for their body of work and to see them romp through this nonsense was hard to take. Finally gave up watching it on TV. Directed by Christian McIntire from a screenplay by Bill Lundy adapted from a book by Kevin Gendreau, it has every aspect of a very good film. The camera work was excellent and some of the shots set the mood beautifully. So why did I find this so bad? Seeing the actual aliens was a big let down. A bad choice. Like that famous classic CAT PEOPLE, not seeing them would have made it more frightening. Then there was the supporting cast; The three girls played by Callie De Fabry, Michelle Borth and Kim Onosch were just plain awful. Screaming was just about the stretch of their acting. Borth being the worst of the lot. I couldn't wait for them to be taken by the aliens just to shut them up. The boys were not that good either, although had some finer moments than their mates. Layne Vassimer, Stephen Fox and Maurice Hall all played their roles and were on their marks but lacked a lot of believability. What I found the most objectionable was when we are reaching the climax with aliens popping out from everywhere, two couples decide to take the time to do their kissing scenes. Come on. In face of danger, they begin to neck? Not really. I give this loser a one in respect to the presence of Baldwin and Zane and a director I feel could do better work.
