Project Alien

About This Movie

So, 'Project Alien' is this obscure little gem from 1990 that really captures that late 80s, early 90s vibe. The premise is simple yet intriguing—military plane crash in Norway, mysterious lights, and a couple of journalists chasing down a UFO story. The atmosphere is a mix of suspense and intrigue, with a pacing that keeps you wondering what’s around the corner. The practical effects have a certain charm, though they can be hit or miss, which gives it a unique character. The performances from the lead journalists, especially George Abbot, feel earnest and somewhat gritty. It's not your blockbuster sci-fi, but it’s got a raw quality that makes it stand apart in that era's landscape.
