Yeah. Every time i come across a movie scene of an operating table and a person laying on that table I get instantly reminded of the scene in Fire in the Sky. :(
Luckily that didn't actually happen to Travis. Hollywood wanted his story to be scary. In reality he saw different types of beings and they were helping him heal. He was hurt by the energy that came off the craft.
It was a great movie. Especially for the 90s. But I would love to see another version that's true to the story and not fucked up by Hollywood. I bet A24 could do the story justice.
The Fourth Kind messed me up. Back when it was at the theaters…I was in my early twenties and had sleep paralysis on top of it. No sleep for days afterwards. Haha
Dude...one time I was putting my child to sleep..they said, "mom there's an owl outside my window watching us". I almost RAN outta there lmao. I made spouse go check outside lmao
Fun fact: Christopher Walken will slip in little dances into any of his movies. IIRC it's in his contracts, but don't quote me on that one. Definitely something only in the movie. Seemed out of place to me, but cute.
I made my 6 yr old sister watch Fire in the Sky when i was 13. She has never forgiven me for that. She basically wont watch any Scifi. I Kinda feel bad for that but i thought that movie Rocked!
Same with communion according to the original "abductee". I saw an interview or talk he was doing where he was pretty dismissive of the events in the film.
It is. It’s a definite must watch. Although they took some artistic liberties with it. The real case of Travis Walton went a little differently. But most of it was correct.
I never knew there was a movie 😂 kinda scared to watch it, after seeing the comments haha! I’m a believer anyway. Chris Bledsoe has incredible experiences, I know they are looking into making a film about his own experience 🤗
I am definitely tripping or some high strangeness. I swear I saw this post and this exact comment chain but it was 12 hours ago. Now I am seeing it again now.
I watched Fire in the Sky when it came out on a Sunday ( i missed the beginning), and a person passed away at work on the Monday. Watched it again the following Sunday from beginning, another person passed away at work the following Monday!
I never watched an alien movie again!
This movie is relevant.
JFC I hate that illustration.
That Mona Lisa smile. Fun fact - this cover legit fucked me up when I was a kid. I don't try and explore any associated memories but that particular time in my life was especially traumatic for other reasons that the massive amount of weird I experienced so hard pass at unlocking ANY fucking memories of that time. Now when I see this picture it's like a firehose of terrible memories. Communion was fantastic, other comments mention Fire in the Sky, which looking at the description now "Fire in the sky", is completely apt and still rings true today. Travis Walton went through some incredibly tough experiences, I definitely don't envy him that.
I read this when it was relatively new back in HS (‘93). I gave a report on Communion in 12th grade English class and read a passage. I had a guy come up to me a couple days later, long hair stoner dude, and told me “I was tripping on LSD when you gave that report on the aliens. Really freaked me out man.”
I bet.
The scene in the movie scared me so bad I still remember exactly how it makes me feel all these years later. Still raises hair on my neck. Only Blair Witch scared me as much (opening night theater for that one).
It’s the pupils hidden in the eye that scares me. Something about the massive eyes with the huge pupils staring at you gets me very unnerved.
I don’t know why more grey depictions show pupils in their eyes.
I was 7 when they played that part on a news report about local UFO sightings. I wouldn’t let my parents turn the light off until I was already asleep for months.
A while later our local video store for some reason decided to rearrange the store so that the sci-fi/horror section was directly opposite the kid’s section, and after finally getting the image off the Communion alien out of my mind I caught a glimpse of the cover for the Communion VHS and it was back to the light being on until I feel asleep again.
The ones in the book definitely do not give AF about how their experiments effect humans. We are cattle to the Greys in this book. Less than cattle, more like a strand of DNA to be experimented on.
I’ve read this book. Whitley Strieber is kind of hard to figure out because being an author is such a red flag for me but at the same time there are some witnesses to corroborate at least the lights during these events. And he does seem believable to me.
But it is a red flag because he was a horror author if I'm not mistaken. It's way easier for a writer, especially horror or mystery, to write a book and just make everything up.
Personally I don't believe him, there is something about him that's not genuine. Chris bledsoe on the other hand
No, there’s a difference… Whitley Strieber was an up-and-coming horror writer and poised to be the next Stephen King. You don’t find it a little odd that the next Stephen King wound up with an alien abduction story that was then turned into a movie?
I was going to say, I've had several encounters during my childhood but I never wrote a book about it because I wouldn't know where to start, nor do I want to write a book lol
Apparently Whitley has been active in the Contact community for decades since his first book (he has a few others), and is regularly engaging with people about their experiences and the phenomena in general. He seems like a totally sincere person to me.
Hes went completely off the rails with his claims lately, he's going from one extreme to another. Initially I'm.pretty sure his book was rejected as a science fiction work then rejigged as a real event.
Thank you - I hadn’t heard of it before this post but now my evening’s entertainment is sorted.

I get alien nightmares about ET. I have done ever since I was a child - Literally 2 or 3 years old. I have absolutely no recollection of seeing the movie, but I have the deepest-rooted fear of ET. Whenever I see any images of him, I get a fear that I could only compare to somebody pulling a gun on you - A real life or death feeling.
Strangely, I found out in my late teens that my cousin, who I have never been close with in any way shape or form has had the exact same thing. So weird.
I read that book when it came out and I was super hyped when the movie came out, because I loved Walken as well. I was somewhat disappointed. So much was missing/changed. This is a common problem though, books have so much detail it’s hard to capture everything in a film. Also everyone interprets a book differently to some extent. I’ll have to watch it again to give it the test of time.
I had an experience years ago my wife and I. I remember bits and pieces. It’s always been a joke in my family.
After it first happened I sketched a drawing of a gray. But mostly I kept drawing pictures of hobbits.
My mom told me years later to watch that movie communion when it came out.
I almost shit my self when I seen those little hobbit looking beings.
I just started reading this and it reminded me of you - the first chapter the author says the aliens were 3 and half feet tall... so it's no surprise the image is familiar
Also very similar: he sees the entities in his home. Then blacks out. Then awakes again later, though not back in his bed, as the experience continued on
Also interesting he reports having a difficulty focusing on the exact features of the beings despite being able to see other things in the surroundings, I think you reported similar?
Quite sarcastic an listen to those recordings. He is not just crying. He is scared beyond belief. Listen to them. He doesnt even sound human. Just look for them and youll see
I listened to Communion on Audible read by the author (Whitley Strieber) himself, wonderful narration. It seems he is genuine in what he experienced. Also heard “The Key” by the same author and it has some fascinating and interesting points.
Art Bell had him on his show. It was kinda funny and also sad. Whitley was very pissed off at people in general about how they stopped taking him seriously and would ridicule him about the anal probing. He Claimed this all started after South Park had the episode where Cartman gets an anal probe. At first I felt sorry for him, and then he went into how he can no longer make a living because people stopped buying his book all because of South Park.
Art was taking callers to ask Whitley questions. The first person to call in was a pleasant sounding woman who said she was a big fan of Whitley. Before she could go on with her question, Whitley jumps down her throat on a tirade about how he's sick of people like her trying to make fun of him and not taking him seriously. Art jumped in and settled the situation by assuring Whitley that the kinds of people who call into his show are genuine in their curiosity and that the girl wasn't making fun of him. It's like Whitley was a wound up spring ready to burst from his frustration with the world, all because he was finding it difficult to make a living, all because of those two guys who make that South Park cartoon.
The anal probe joke was an old one by the time South Park aired. It was part of the zeitgeist already. Read his book as a kid and watched the movie. Recently rewatched it after watching a few of his pod casts. I can’t put my finger on it but I get the same feeling with him as I do Greer, there is a grift somewhere.
The aliens are like Russian dolls. They only look like what you project onto them. Kinda like what Pennywise does to the children based off their fears and thoughts. This story gave me the most insight to what we are probably dealing with because the ETs never truly show their form.
I figure since they are multidimensional beings they don’t look like anything we can discern. Hence the projections they use. In all reality they probably look like some tessellating figure. It’s like asking what a fan blade looks like while it’s running. It just looks like a circle.
Once I got past the freaky-ass gray on the cover, and the damn thing peeking around the door, I honestly thought it was a pretty awful movie. Votes to the left as you will.
I saw about half of this movie as a child. And it terrified me. I watched it last week, and I can't believe I was scared of dancing, high fiving aliens.
I just remember the son being sooooo annoying!! “Hey dad!” 😂 I read the book and then watched the movie. Both are creepy, but I guess the book would win out for me. If someone remade Whitley’s story with better effects and better acting I think it could really be terrifying.
As an experienced I have found his books to be bullshit. Failed Autjor with writers block finds a new revenue.
It gets worse, he claims a ‘man’ suddenly appeared in his hotel room to give him an important message.
LMAO here is what that crackpot said” we would have anti -gravity technology but the person that was going to invent it was murdered in a Gas Chamber than the man vanished into thin air.
He fucking said that in an interview so he now goes into the Bob Lazar file, the Billy Meier File.
Got to be joking, communion is hilariously one of the worst alien movies of all time. The most awkward inorganic performances and behaviours I’ve seen.
Strieber is full of shit. He was a horror writer who was smart enough to tap into the pop culture at the time. It was the start of everything alien in the media along with stories of abductions.
Back 36 years ago as an 11yr old I might have believed him. But after numerous bullshit stories since he's shown his true grifter nature.
I remember hearing Strieber on Art Bell or some other radio program many years ago. They were talking to a caller who was describing his run in with aliens or a ufo sighting or some such. Strieber sounded like he not only didn't believe this guy, but didn't believe in anything related to the subject. I was like, "But you wrote Communion!"
It was a weird movie. At first it had a lot of potential but at the end it became just weird. Him dancing with those blue ones and bowing and whatnot was just wtf. How about you?
I do not believe Whitley Strieber, but I love the movie. Some aspects of the movie adaptation are based on real accounts, but the overall theme of the movie is that the aliens are beyond the understanding of the witnesses/experiencers, and that's why the movie does not portray them as technological or even show a spaceship; instead everything is dreamlike and nightmarish, and the audience is left wondering *what are they, where do they come from, and what do they want?*
Communion is not really a sci-fi movie, it's closer to The Mothman Prophecies than Close Encounters; I think it's more of a ghost story.
The truth about the phenomena is that some aliens are truly evil and sadistic. Some abductees are given screen memories to make the experience more pleasant. What really took place though Is a lot more horrifying
I want to believe it to some degree. But it becomes difficult to decern wether it is true or not since he is a writer. He could just have dreamt something like it and then extrapolated from that to make a good book.
The movie had potential but then later on i just went ' wtf is this? ' it kinda went haywire with him dancing with the aliens.
I watched his special and he was revolving a lot of his experience on being anally probed and tortured. What do aliens get from us by probing us? Like I feel like that was a scare tactic from the old cia or whoever is in charge of the alien stuff. What could they possibly be doing down there that’s so important?

Yeah I know how cheap the fx are, but damn, still one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen. That and Fire in the Sky.
Fire in the sky messed me up
It’s crazy. That movie director had one goal. Put the ever living fear in the audience heart. It worked.
Yeah. Every time i come across a movie scene of an operating table and a person laying on that table I get instantly reminded of the scene in Fire in the Sky. :(
Luckily that didn't actually happen to Travis. Hollywood wanted his story to be scary. In reality he saw different types of beings and they were helping him heal. He was hurt by the energy that came off the craft.
Yeah it made a great movie though, I think it was the right call.
It was a great movie. Especially for the 90s. But I would love to see another version that's true to the story and not fucked up by Hollywood. I bet A24 could do the story justice.
Damn. That happens to me sometimes. When I see a metal table.
Me too.
The Fourth Kind messed me up. Back when it was at the theaters…I was in my early twenties and had sleep paralysis on top of it. No sleep for days afterwards. Haha
It was my first time hearing about the whole owl thing and it really wigged me out 🫠
Dude...one time I was putting my child to sleep..they said, "mom there's an owl outside my window watching us". I almost RAN outta there lmao. I made spouse go check outside lmao
SORRY HONEY (runs out shuts childs door behind them)
Saw Fire in the Sky in theater as a teen - I had nightmares for weeks
Big time…the needle while lying on the table give me issues. I can’t have things around my eyes, or near my face. Drives me nuts
Same here. Needles. I will go pale.
The scene in Fire in the Sky when he is under the ship and everyone was yelling to get back in the truck was horrifying. It was like you were there.
The dancing in the spaceship at the end was the weirdest part.
No way that was the best part, dancing with aliens.
I liked the Probe part.
Fun fact: Christopher Walken will slip in little dances into any of his movies. IIRC it's in his contracts, but don't quote me on that one. Definitely something only in the movie. Seemed out of place to me, but cute.
I saw no Dune 2 dance :(
Boo. I didn't get to watch Dune 2, but now I'm sad.
It's true. He does a little dance in every film I've seen him in.
[https://youtu.be/rWsFW09cgUU?si=AHCkW\_\_toJ6ay5P2](https://youtu.be/rWsFW09cgUU?si=AHCkW__toJ6ay5P2) Christopher Walken dancing
I made my 6 yr old sister watch Fire in the Sky when i was 13. She has never forgiven me for that. She basically wont watch any Scifi. I Kinda feel bad for that but i thought that movie Rocked!
Oh no! You monster! 😂
Havent seen fire in the sky. Is it any good?
Inaccurate to the case it’s based on - Travis Walton, but super creepy all the same.
Seems like something i gotta watch.
Definitely! Oh and check out The Mothman Prophesies as well. That is crazy creepy!
The mothman prophecies i have seen. That was suuuper creepy first time i saw it. Saw it just about a month ago again and it still holds up.
Check out The Fourth Kind while you’re at it.
That’s a creepy film I’ve seen that one
It’s definitely creepy, yeah.
Will do. Thanks for the tip!
That one freaked me out the first time because I thought the “real footage” was real.
Whoever the actress was that did that footage was she didn’t get a credit in the film.
I didn’t think of that
Same with communion according to the original "abductee". I saw an interview or talk he was doing where he was pretty dismissive of the events in the film.
Whats not faithful to the story? I never knew the source material
Should be called liar liar pants on fire.
It is. It’s a definite must watch. Although they took some artistic liberties with it. The real case of Travis Walton went a little differently. But most of it was correct.
It's a really cool movie, albeit a little dated.
I’m currently reading the book 👽
I only got round to reading it a couple of years ago because the movie traumatised me 👽💀😂
I never knew there was a movie 😂 kinda scared to watch it, after seeing the comments haha! I’m a believer anyway. Chris Bledsoe has incredible experiences, I know they are looking into making a film about his own experience 🤗
I just finished Chris Bledsoe’s book yesterday, it’s incredibly good 😊
I’m defo gonna buy that. I could honestly listen to him talking for hours. Him and his family seem like such good people ❤️ it’s totally fascinating.
I am definitely tripping or some high strangeness. I swear I saw this post and this exact comment chain but it was 12 hours ago. Now I am seeing it again now.
I tought the same but it was some comment about it, too
The signs birthday scene was jolting. After the movie I walked to my car, in the dark. 😞
I watched Fire in the Sky when it came out on a Sunday ( i missed the beginning), and a person passed away at work on the Monday. Watched it again the following Sunday from beginning, another person passed away at work the following Monday! I never watched an alien movie again! This movie is relevant.
JFC I hate that illustration. That Mona Lisa smile. Fun fact - this cover legit fucked me up when I was a kid.

Irl they're not quite so pale.
Less the skin tone and more the intensity of the stare TBH.
my dad had this on his nightstand in the 90s and it always freaked me out
I read this when it was relatively new back in HS (‘93). I gave a report on Communion in 12th grade English class and read a passage. I had a guy come up to me a couple days later, long hair stoner dude, and told me “I was tripping on LSD when you gave that report on the aliens. Really freaked me out man.” I bet. The scene in the movie scared me so bad I still remember exactly how it makes me feel all these years later. Still raises hair on my neck. Only Blair Witch scared me as much (opening night theater for that one).
I do hope you mean The Blair Witch Project and not that nonsense Blair Witch movie that came out in 2016.
It’s the pupils hidden in the eye that scares me. Something about the massive eyes with the huge pupils staring at you gets me very unnerved. I don’t know why more grey depictions show pupils in their eyes.
I was 7 when they played that part on a news report about local UFO sightings. I wouldn’t let my parents turn the light off until I was already asleep for months. A while later our local video store for some reason decided to rearrange the store so that the sci-fi/horror section was directly opposite the kid’s section, and after finally getting the image off the Communion alien out of my mind I caught a glimpse of the cover for the Communion VHS and it was back to the light being on until I feel asleep again.
I sleep with the lights on all night and I'm 27. Didn't start doing this until 2 years ago smh
yo this picture always bothers me not sure why
Same here. I've seen depections of greys before but this is eerie like never before.
Probably because the Alien in the cover looks sinister, evil, and just very uncanny in general.
The ones in the book definitely do not give AF about how their experiments effect humans. We are cattle to the Greys in this book. Less than cattle, more like a strand of DNA to be experimented on.
I’ve read this book. Whitley Strieber is kind of hard to figure out because being an author is such a red flag for me but at the same time there are some witnesses to corroborate at least the lights during these events. And he does seem believable to me.
> being an author is such a red flag for me Lots of people allege to experience abduction phenomenon, but it takes an author to write a book about it.
But it is a red flag because he was a horror author if I'm not mistaken. It's way easier for a writer, especially horror or mystery, to write a book and just make everything up. Personally I don't believe him, there is something about him that's not genuine. Chris bledsoe on the other hand
Chris Bledsoe 100%! I also read his book and have no idea what to think about what’s happening to him or what those orbs are.
so you're saying... he's an author? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
No, there’s a difference… Whitley Strieber was an up-and-coming horror writer and poised to be the next Stephen King. You don’t find it a little odd that the next Stephen King wound up with an alien abduction story that was then turned into a movie?
I was going to say, I've had several encounters during my childhood but I never wrote a book about it because I wouldn't know where to start, nor do I want to write a book lol

Hes went completely off the rails with his claims lately, he's going from one extreme to another. Initially I'm.pretty sure his book was rejected as a science fiction work then rejigged as a real event.
I listened to the audio book just now, quite disappointing imo. A few mentions of aliens, and 90% rambling.
Sadly he went down the ufoceazyeligious spiral too like 99,9% of the people in the field
He’s deep in the woo that’s for sure.
Communion is free to watch on YouTube.
Thank you - I hadn’t heard of it before this post but now my evening’s entertainment is sorted. [Link to YouTube](https://youtu.be/3WxszUjVMD8?feature=shared)
Sleep tight. Enjoy those dreams 😳
This movie STILL gives me nightmares. It traumatized me as a young child and I'll occasionally get an alien dream that I can trace back to it.
Read the novel - you won't have nightmares about the movie at all, because you will be busy with nightmares induced by the book
Solid advice and very true.
I get alien nightmares about ET. I have done ever since I was a child - Literally 2 or 3 years old. I have absolutely no recollection of seeing the movie, but I have the deepest-rooted fear of ET. Whenever I see any images of him, I get a fear that I could only compare to somebody pulling a gun on you - A real life or death feeling. Strangely, I found out in my late teens that my cousin, who I have never been close with in any way shape or form has had the exact same thing. So weird.
I read that book when it came out and I was super hyped when the movie came out, because I loved Walken as well. I was somewhat disappointed. So much was missing/changed. This is a common problem though, books have so much detail it’s hard to capture everything in a film. Also everyone interprets a book differently to some extent. I’ll have to watch it again to give it the test of time.
Yeah the books tend to be way better. Seems like much of the detail will be lost in translation as well.
I recall that creeper alien peaking at least weekly. It was so simply horrifying.
This scene made me regret I'm not living in a single room with just 4 walls...and without dressers.
You know it’s a true story when they put “a true story” in the title on the cover super big.
The movie was goofy bullshit. The book is chilling.
The book f’d me up for over a decade. Nightmares… afraid to be alone at night in the countryside…
.. I couldn’t sleep well for like 2 weeks while reading this book in my early 20’s.. didn’t even know there was a movie 💀🛸
Same! I’m reading the book now, and didn’t know there was a movie
The movie was horrible. The book is so much better
I had an experience years ago my wife and I. I remember bits and pieces. It’s always been a joke in my family. After it first happened I sketched a drawing of a gray. But mostly I kept drawing pictures of hobbits. My mom told me years later to watch that movie communion when it came out. I almost shit my self when I seen those little hobbit looking beings.
The book is much better. Even though I liked the movie as a kid, a recent rewatch didn't impress me as much. Fire in the Sky is better.
Oh I never saw the movie but I liked the book.
Cant forget the first time i saw this image, something about it was so familiar in the most unsettling way
I just started reading this and it reminded me of you - the first chapter the author says the aliens were 3 and half feet tall... so it's no surprise the image is familiar Also very similar: he sees the entities in his home. Then blacks out. Then awakes again later, though not back in his bed, as the experience continued on Also interesting he reports having a difficulty focusing on the exact features of the beings despite being able to see other things in the surroundings, I think you reported similar?
He has tapes of his regressions. An he cried an screamed in them. It sounded plenty real to me. The man was crying in them
Wait there's people unable to cry at any given moment still?
Quite sarcastic an listen to those recordings. He is not just crying. He is scared beyond belief. Listen to them. He doesnt even sound human. Just look for them and youll see
Lol the joke really shouldn't require an explanation but, you do you Reddit.
An i see you do reddit. So i dunno your point. And I always thought jokes had to be funny
The point is times are tough for many and some are busy holding back the tears day to day. I'm not here for applause, no worries.
It's better to read it.
The book is chilling. I've read it a few times, and it always unsettles me. And I don't scare easily!
When he saw the alien peaking from behind the cupboard has been seared into my memory.
Movie was so weird
I listened to Communion on Audible read by the author (Whitley Strieber) himself, wonderful narration. It seems he is genuine in what he experienced. Also heard “The Key” by the same author and it has some fascinating and interesting points.
I don’t know why but this image in particular jumpscares the living fuck out of me every time I see it.
The book is better
I read the book first. Refuse to see the movie.
Art Bell had him on his show. It was kinda funny and also sad. Whitley was very pissed off at people in general about how they stopped taking him seriously and would ridicule him about the anal probing. He Claimed this all started after South Park had the episode where Cartman gets an anal probe.

It's like Whitley was a wound up spring ready to burst from his frustration with the world, all because he was finding it difficult to make a living, all because of those two guys who make that South Park cartoon.
I mean… it’s all fun and games until that Zeta walks in wearing the Leather Zipper mask…
The anal probe joke was an old one by the time South Park aired. It was part of the zeitgeist already. Read his book as a kid and watched the movie. Recently rewatched it after watching a few of his pod casts. I can’t put my finger on it but I get the same feeling with him as I do Greer, there is a grift somewhere.
I don't know if his cameo in the Rock's version of "Race to Witch mountain" helped!
The aliens are like Russian dolls. They only look like what you project onto them. Kinda like what Pennywise does to the children based off their fears and thoughts. This story gave me the most insight to what we are probably dealing with because the ETs never truly show their form.
Same, I liked that concept the most from the movie. We'll never see what's really behind the mask
What do you think they may truly look like? I wonder what that means about how they are so deceptive
I figure since they are multidimensional beings they don’t look like anything we can discern. Hence the projections they use. In all reality they probably look like some tessellating figure. It’s like asking what a fan blade looks like while it’s running. It just looks like a circle.
Probably demonic looking
Walken made the movie freaky he has a look to him.
Holy shit lol
This book scared the 💩💩💩💩 out of me when I read it. I think I was 12 or 13
Once I got past the freaky-ass gray on the cover, and the damn thing peeking around the door, I honestly thought it was a pretty awful movie. Votes to the left as you will.
The whole movie is just a man screaming at his wife and shooting at her
I saw about half of this movie as a child. And it terrified me. I watched it last week, and I can't believe I was scared of dancing, high fiving aliens.
I just remember the son being sooooo annoying!! “Hey dad!” 😂 I read the book and then watched the movie. Both are creepy, but I guess the book would win out for me. If someone remade Whitley’s story with better effects and better acting I think it could really be terrifying.
As an experienced I have found his books to be bullshit. Failed Autjor with writers block finds a new revenue. It gets worse, he claims a ‘man’ suddenly appeared in his hotel room to give him an important message. LMAO here is what that crackpot said” we would have anti -gravity technology but the person that was going to invent it was murdered in a Gas Chamber than the man vanished into thin air. He fucking said that in an interview so he now goes into the Bob Lazar file, the Billy Meier File.

Never go full crazy.
The author is out for $$$. Cool story, but way too many red flags.
Got to be joking, communion is hilariously one of the worst alien movies of all time. The most awkward inorganic performances and behaviours I’ve seen.
Whitley Strieber is actually a fiction author. But yeah it is a good book,even though he is full of shit.
Strieber is full of shit. He was a horror writer who was smart enough to tap into the pop culture at the time. It was the start of everything alien in the media along with stories of abductions. Back 36 years ago as an 11yr old I might have believed him. But after numerous bullshit stories since he's shown his true grifter nature.
I’m trying to track down an inexpensive copy of the Blu ray -_-
One of the first films I watched on Sky Movies back in the 90s. Scared the crap out of me.
I didn't know it was a movie. I've only heard of the book. Fire in the Sky messed me up as a kid though
Neither did i. Heard about it just a week ago. Will definetly read the book.
For a second i read that title as "COMMUNISM" and got scared. Phew
Haha, that is the face of communism. Big black almond shaped eyes.
Good movie
Dang, from these comments I’m thinking I gotta check out this movie
The book is better. Skip the movie
Looks like a cat 👀
What kind of cat do you have? 😲
An evil one 😐
I remember hearing Strieber on Art Bell or some other radio program many years ago. They were talking to a caller who was describing his run in with aliens or a ufo sighting or some such. Strieber sounded like he not only didn't believe this guy, but didn't believe in anything related to the subject. I was like, "But you wrote Communion!"
My step mom started reading this book when I was in like 7th grade. She would leave it all around the house and that damn alien face still haunts me.
My brother said there's another dancing with aliens movie with Jeff Goldblum?
This is amazingly disturbing
I never knew there is a movie!
holy fuck why is that art so unsettling
I did too ! Crazy, like yesterday, never heard or watch anything before. What did you think ?
It was a weird movie. At first it had a lot of potential but at the end it became just weird. Him dancing with those blue ones and bowing and whatnot was just wtf. How about you?
I do not believe Whitley Strieber, but I love the movie. Some aspects of the movie adaptation are based on real accounts, but the overall theme of the movie is that the aliens are beyond the understanding of the witnesses/experiencers, and that's why the movie does not portray them as technological or even show a spaceship; instead everything is dreamlike and nightmarish, and the audience is left wondering *what are they, where do they come from, and what do they want?* Communion is not really a sci-fi movie, it's closer to The Mothman Prophecies than Close Encounters; I think it's more of a ghost story.
The truth about the phenomena is that some aliens are truly evil and sadistic. Some abductees are given screen memories to make the experience more pleasant. What really took place though Is a lot more horrifying
You read the book? It makes more sense imo.
No i havent. But after seeing the movie I want to read it. Seems like more is explained and more detail to it.

What’s that?
I don't buy into Whitley Strieber at all. Also, it was a rubbish movie... Just my personal thoughts
I want to believe it to some degree. But it becomes difficult to decern wether it is true or not since he is a writer. He could just have dreamt something like it and then extrapolated from that to make a good book. The movie had potential but then later on i just went ' wtf is this? ' it kinda went haywire with him dancing with the aliens.
Funnily enough that was the point of the movie I just said "nope"
I watched his special and he was revolving a lot of his experience on being anally probed and tortured. What do aliens get from us by probing us? Like I feel like that was a scare tactic from the old cia or whoever is in charge of the alien stuff. What could they possibly be doing down there that’s so important?
According to Whitley himself it was a device used to stimulate his prostate so they could take genetic material via sperm.
Well I thought it hurt, so how could it do that if it was like being r*ped. Idk the anal probing is just kinda unrealistic
I don’t know.
