Thoughts on Communion
Thoughts – Communion is a sci-fi horror based on the real events that Strieber went through during a couple of months which involved an unknown set of events. This will look at how the world will change for these people, with not many people will believe in on and they well see themselves being questioned by every angle. The performance from Christopher Walken is entertaining even if certain parts of the performance are over the top. Overall this film will ask the bigger question about aliens and whether they are real in this world or not. The weakness in this film does come from the lack of pure horror from the visits that you would think would happen during them.
Final Thoughts – Communion is an interesting sci-fi horror based on reality of what one man’s claims is true.
