Walk-In into Roswell



The missus found an old VHS cassette of Roswell, the 1994 HBO movie starring Kyle MacLachlan (Dune, Twin Peaks) and Martin Sheen, at the library book swap. The tape was a little worse for wear, but the film itself is well worth checking out. Fascinating dramatization of the events, with some heavy doses of MJ-12 conspiracy theory and AAT thrown in to boot.



MacLachlan should be high on your weirdness-resonator list. Aside from making his debut in David Lynch's adaptation of Frank Herbert's Templar/Jesuit allegory, he also starred in this forgotten gem, pitting two alien walk-ins (of a sort) in a battle to the death with some ubiquitous 80s music pounding away throughout. Another big influence on the Mighty X, to boot.
