Close encounters of the stupid kind: wealthy, drunken woman--a previous resident of the local booby hatch--sees an alien spacecraft in the desert with a 30-foot man inside, but she can't get anyone to believe her. Drive-in rubbish with a radiation-scare tactic; not incompetently-made, but surely uninspired. Mark Hanna's hot-air script is mostly all set-up...once the pay-off comes, the picture runs out of screen-time! There's a really fine shot near the end featuring Allison Hayes lying in the roadway, the townspeople running up behind her. Otherwise, the trick photography and props are third-rate, and the marital melodrama which sucks up most of the narrative is completely without interest. *1/2 from ****
