灵异杀机

　　The film depicts the personal and professional crises a writer experiences after a series of encounters with non-human beings.


　　The film strongly benefits from the performances of Christopher Walken and Lindsay Crouse. Walken (always engaging) manages the challenging task of making Whitley Strieber a compelling character; you care about him even if you dont necessarily like him 100% of the time. Crouse succeeds as Whitleys wife; the two together are immediately believable as a married couple.


　　The film is arguably the most intelligent film about the alien abduction/ visitor phenomenon. Unlike countless cheap, made-for-TV films, where the emphasis is on the sensationalistic, "shocking" aspects of the subject, COMMUNION focuses on the psychological and emotional harm the experience does. We see Strieber describe his experiences to his medical doctor, and then to a psychiatrist. Once his own mental health has been established, then (and only then) does he begin to consider the possibility that the creatures he has seen are actually real.


　　After questioning everyone from medical professionals to fellow abductees, Whitley realizes the only ones with the answers are the visitors themselves. At the films climax, he willingly presents himself to the visitors. This is what makes COMMUNION transcend every other film about the phenomenon.


　　Director Phillipe Mora successfully creates a "you-are-there" atmosphere, letting the actors improvise a lot of their dialogue. There are two distinct moods: one, where things are brightly lit, secure, and normal; and secondly, the dark, unsettling world Strieber inhabits only with himself and with the visitors. Moras direction is subtle, with cues in both the dialogue and a detailed, occasionally wry visual style.


　　Another plus is Eric Claptons opening and closing theme music.

BSC频道HD双语字幕109分钟，用情景喜剧浮夸的表演技法演绎科恐影片实属罕见，给及格分！

粉丝向作品，零分电影。主人公形象过于可爱，鬼马作家模范煮夫天才爸爸外星舞伴，name your own best Walken and you can have it all here。据说连片中他妻子的演员都是沃肯自己挑的……well, her acting was painful to look at……但80-90年间的沃肯真好嗑啊（望天

105 -1989-special-edition-internal-dvdrip-x26-4-tehparadox-177815/ 导评 花絮

演技拯救不了太烂的本子的例子。前面还有点惊悚啊为什么大家一起跳跳舞就变成走近科学了啊！到滚字幕才发现亮点，主人公就是编剧（原作者）啊！还基于真实事件啊有没有OMG...

切入角度很独特，使用了大量心理暗示与催眠来进行意识还原，并深入的探讨了家庭关系与感情变化在接触事件后的影响。如果剔除外星元素简直就是部带有实验色彩的家庭伦理片，但本片摊上了真实事件改编的名头，肇事者继续对准了臭名昭著的小灰人，揭秘工程爱好者可以看上一看。

外星人“綁架”題材，但拍得卻像一個紐約文青片，雖然外星人造型一塌糊塗但其他描繪都走異常寫實的路線，探討心理影響，也無所謂結尾或高潮段落。這麼反類型一半歸功於Walken的表演，角色是個很紐約的作家還是很會哄孩子的好爸爸，表演上看點很多。

沃肯的表演的确很精彩，但是故事实在有点乱，莫名其妙的~

主角的行为本身就很古怪可疑，因此其宣称的外星人绑架事件也疑惑重重。沃肯对角色的把握极具说服力，可说是他个人生涯最好的角色之一。但导演对悬疑的铺陈却显得云山雾绕，而毫不搭调的平行剪辑与特效也使人难以融入剧情。
