Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Better Late Then Never

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is the worst attempt at an alien interview I have ever seen... The creature looks totally fake even in the poor lighting conditions it's filmed in. "Victor" answers no questions relevant to the authenticity of the tape or the filming, he even attempts to cover up the pitiful attempt of the "medics" tending to the creature. The movements of the creature indicate a hand puppet or a head-mounted mask. The medics have no idea what they are doing - Victor goes on to say they are selected for their ability to keep secrets rather than their expertise - Well you would hope that's the case cos these guys clearly have absolutely no expertise and tend to the creature in the manner of a butcher in an abertoire. As a creature sensitive to light I'm sure it would not appreciate having bright lights shining directly into it's eyeballs. Altogether this production is very cheap and disappointing..

Even though everything about this show is absurd, I still find it funny as hell. I like watching these shows from time to time just to see how people can ignore reality: 1) Why do aliens from a different galaxy or universe than ours and selective pressures look more like us (i.e. hands, head, legs) than we look like most of the creatures on our planet (compare us to squid or a zebra)? 2)Why would an enormously technologically advanced race who is capable of intergalactic space travel just not go undetected while coming here by using nanotechnology or something else entirely rather than being seen by a handful of white people who tend to make less than $40,000 a year? 3) Since we know about area 51 BEING a secret government facility AND they probably test things like NEW AIRCRAFTS, particularly cold war aircrafts AND they would probably test new aircrafts in the desert where most people wouldn't see them AND not denying everything would screw with the Russians' heads into thinking we might have flying saucers that can do this...how do we ignore this reality? Bob flippin' Lazar--that's how! LOL..oh, and a crappy video of my brothers alien costume from two Halloween's ago. The only thing believable about this film is that only the government could possible make such a crappy quality video of an alien...lots of fun though if you are bored.

Now, I am a person who believes the stories about the EBE and the reverse engineering of crafts, and alien intervention in human evolution. I believe those kinds of wild things. But there is just something about this interview for me that doesn't hold up. The director is doing "Night of the Living Dead 3D." The supposed production company in the movie doesn't even exist as far as i can tell (Rocket Pictures). In the IMDb company credits for this movie there is a company whose sound stage was used. The company also did the animatronics for Star Kid. Star Kid is a sci-fi family adventure with a strange looking robot like alien. However, the basic design of the animatronic face is eerily similar to that of the EBE in this interview. Perhaps Broadstreet and Benson had a cool concept of creating an elaborate mockumentary based on all the information they had heard about aliens. Or perhaps they were even paid to put on such a hoax to provide disinformation. Vega 7 produced this movie and only this movie. Is it not possible that this animatronics company created EBE and used their sound stage to record this infamous footage? I am not saying for sure whether or not this is real. I am just saying that this image could easily be achieved through puppetry and animatronics. But then again...this could be the only known footage of a real live alien being. I guess ultimately it's your call.

Has been 9 years since the release of this film and to all intensive purposes it's dropped off the radar, even the producers (Rocket films) have deleted the disc from release. This fact does not dilute the impact of the footage. You either accept this person 'Victor' as genuine or not. If you think he's fraudster then you won't give a shred of credence to the alien interview footage he presents. If however you're open minded enough to entertain the possibility that 'Victor' is for real and he has covertly acquired something incredible from the Nevada Groom Lake facility then the footage becomes serious food for thought. IMO the footage is at the very least impressive. Considering it was delivered to the film company in 1996 (before CGI was widespread in Hollywood) the 'interviewee' looks very real and solid. It moves oddly, in a jerky (non puppet) out of time way. I have never seen that movement depicted in any other Hollywood sci-fi flick. The glass partition between interviewer and his subject also made me think this could be real. I doubt fraudsters would have thought of adding this – especially as its so subtle on the film. Overall, I rate this tape much higher than the Santini 'autopsy' from 97. I feel the 'Victor' footage was tainted by that obvious fraud and for that reason has been largely forgotten about. Now we're approaching ten years since this tape was put into the arena I think its time 'Victor' came clean on his identity and told the entire truth. What has he got to lose? Failing that, the mere chance that this footage is not fake is enough to make it highly compelling for some time to come. I recommend this film to anyone who can find a copy to make there own mind up
