Early on in the film a character exclaims "What the deuce is that?" and that probably describes the unfathomable plot of the film. It ranges from aliens in woolen balaclavas abducting people to conspiracies to shadowy government machinations and then out of the blue at the conclusion a psychic woman is consulted. The abrupt ending doesn't help clarify matters. It is narratively set in England but is the most un-England version of the country ever committed to film. It looks decent enough though the POV shots are achingly slow so you get a lengthy entry into a room forwards and a sedate withdrawal from the room, backwards! Marcello Giombini provides the music score but one hardly notices it. The acting is OK with Robert Hoffman solid as the main lead. The great Martin Balsam plays a detective but isn't in it much. He is unfortunately dubbed with an ill-fitting voice.
Some reviewers cite the similarity of this movie to the later television series 'The X Files'. I agree. I couldn't understand that one either.
