“Where you gonna go? Where you gonna run? Where you
gonna hide? Nowhere, 'cause there’s no one like you left.”

Watch online at Netflix

All queued up and ready to go. I’ve never seen this…

Starting out in space again…

Waiting for ominous voice-over…

Forrest Whitaker?!? Meg Tilly and her boobies, I hope.

It’s decidedly different than the others, but you’ll recognize the paranoia right away…

…like an old friend…

…that you don’t know…

[INDENT]…who’s always watching…[/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]…waiting to get you…[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]…while you sleep. :eek:[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]

Where better to begin?

Yes, the twins make an appearance, IIRC.

Oh no…that was scary. I was thinking he was gonna rape her. I think that was the point.

“They get you when you sleep.”

Note that she said “we spend half our lives asleep”.

Ah, the life of a teenager. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, the main character is filled with teen angst. Feeling alone and misunderstood is a given.

This movie has a very different vibe, since kids are directly involved.

Adds a whole new level of creepy.

Can’t imagine being a kid, growing up on a military base. They really are like a whole different world, all on their own.

“Mom’s an alcoholic, according to the experts it means I’m gonna be one too.”

Well, isn’t it special for you that the aliens will make a perfect world.

This is some kinky foreplay.

R. Lee Ermey!!

Come on! Give me a good shout!!

Ever pour vodka on a houseplant? :eek:

Forest Whitaker always has so many weird tics and twitches. It’s hard to tell if his character is nervous or just naturally squirrely.

I figured this version was gonna be more violent since it was made in the 90s but now that it’s on a military base, I’m betting there are gonna be a bunch of 'splosions!!

He makes you uncomfortable.

I recently saw him in ‘The Shield’. He was investigating the whole police precinct. It was unnerving.

Such an unsettling moment. :eek:
