3 stars (Good Enough) Smart, almost contemporary version of the old Faustian legend;--the aliens just want to do business-- unadulterated capitalism and to hell with the consequences. Shame about the tacky low budget Hollywood production. Not John Carpenter's finest hour ~Anon

3 stars (Good Enough) Great premise. Ripe for a contemporary remake a la Trumptown. ~stve
