Film ThreatRory L. Aronsky
It's good then that From Other Worlds doesn't strive for masses of people either looking at the alien spaceships before their demises or working to understand the communications being sent to them. Sometimes it's enough to just have two people there to meet them. Two people are enough for the entire world and that's what makes this a novel experience. Read full review

Village VoiceEd Gonzalez
There's no beguilement to this toothless caprice by writer- director Barry Strugatz, who may intend a spoof of '50s melodramas and alien abductions but delivers instead an inert doodle. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
A limp sci-fi comedy with fewer laughs than a meeting of Abductees Anonymous. Read full review
