Bobby and Iris (Robert Carradine and Cherie Currie,
respectfully) have stumbled across a government secret in the film WAVELENGTH
(1983). While exploring a seemingly
abandoned property the two find themselves in an underground government lab
where the military are experimenting on being from another world whom are being
kept in a cryogenic state. Soon, Iris
realizes that the aliens are communicating to her through telepathy which makes
her very important to the military and their experiment. Now Bobby & Iris find themselves
entangled in a mystery and government experiment until she realizes that they
have to help the aliens escape before they all become victims of the government’s
ultimate agenda.
Coming one year after E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and one
year before STARMAN, this is a film that marries the two concepts together but
on a much lower budget. This film
features childlike aliens that want to go home but have psychic power.
Carradine does an admiral job as the boyfriend to Currie and
has always been a dependable actor un genre films although this film doesn’t
really give him too much to play with.
Currie also does a serviceable job but both actors can only do so much
with the material. The film is written
and directed by Mike Gray, who oddly enough would only direct episodes of the
short-lived television show STARMAN.
