- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Only the most undiscriminating monster-pic buff will come away satisfied."
-
"Despite accomplished special effects and a coolly intelligent script, this paranoid thriller never follows through on its eerie promise."
-
"A choppy, unsuspenseful succession of chases, melodramatic showdowns and routine special effects."
-
"Ends up as listless and bloated as one of its dead alien visitors."
-
"Attempts at detailed characterization don't work particularly well, and there's a love story that feels as forced as it is superfluous - although even that isn't as unnecessary as the film's final ten minutes."
