At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Just like other reviewers of this film I must concur, "Huh?" The film claims to be "based on a true story." Not only is this farcical but since all the characters die at the end who would be alive to tell it?The paper thin plot revolves around a fashion shoot with catches a flying saucer in the background and the aliens are DEAD serious about recovering the negatives to cover up their existence.The main characters then switch to a reporter investigating the disappearances of the photographer and model.The reporters discover an elaborate cabal "The Silencers" men in black whom cover up the existence of aliens by killing all witnesses.This begs the major question, if there is an international cabal already covering up alien existence why would the aliens give a damn about some blurry photos? The production quality is shot on sxxtyo and the plot is just plain silly. I can't even think of a drinking game based around the film it's so devoid of any substance.

While out in the woods on a photo-shoot, a photographer accidentally captures pictures of aliens. He soon comes to the attention of secret government men who seem hell-bent on a cover-up.The Italians were pretty adept at making entertaining movies in all genres of film. But if there is one thing I have learned it is that, aside from the early 80's post-apocalypse cycle, they weren't very good at sci-fi. The Eyes Behind the Stars is yet another example of this unfortunate observation. It's not as if this is a terrible movie – it has some good parts to it – but it really is a bit of an unfocused mess. The two threads of the story – the aliens and the paranoid thriller – aren't especially well integrated. It's like two completely different films merged together pretty ineffectively and awkwardly. There's probably a good basis for something reasonable to tell you the truth but they sure never put the ingredients together in a form that remains in the mind for very long that's for certain. Ironically, not long after viewing this movie you sort of cannot really remember it at all, as if you have been abducted by aliens, been probed and had your memory of the unfortunate incident completely erased.

A nefarious government group tries to prevent news of aliens visiting Earth from being made public. Sound exciting and interesting? Well, it just ain't. Writer/directer Mario Gariazzo relates the meandering and uneventful story at a plodding pace, fails to deliver much in the way of either thrills or tension, and gets bogged down in way too much numbing tedious talk. Robert Hoffman as crusading journalist Tony Harris makes for a bland hero while token American name Martin Balsam is underused as an inspector investigating the disappearance of a photographer. The chintzy (not so) special effects don't help matters any. On the plus side, both the gorgeous Natalie Delon as Harris' assistant Monica Styles and the lovely Sherry Buchanan as traumatized model Karin Hale are real easy on the eyes. Gariazzo manages a few inspired bizarre moments, but they are not enough to overcome the general dullness. Marcello Menczer's wonky score hits the groovy syncopated spot. An instantly forgettable fizzler.

Why do I watch movies like this ? - other than I have some weird misguided masochistic belief that one day I will find a true gem amongst all this dross I can't think one one good reason. This movie was dross from start to finish - but semi-hilarious dross. Where else but in a bad Italian dubbed movie could you find heated exchanges of surreal mangled English like this one between a honest military type and the sinister chief of a secret X-files like organisation dedicated to hiding "The Truth":Man in Black: Silence is best for us until we are able to prove that the UFOs have no bellicose motives.Military Type: In any event I find your interference abusive.Man in Black: Whoever has to impose his will is.I rewound the DVD (you know what I mean) a good half dozen times and I still can't make those lines mean anything sensible. My other fave line was:"We can be quite hard on those who contravert our interests."It's English Jim, but not as we know it. The other highlights of this dull plonker of a movie for me were the totally spaced out acting of the photographer character at the start. Saddled with the worst haircut EVER in the history of everything, the man just wandered around looking like a stunned fish in a bad wig till kidnapped and forced to look at a piece of Plexiglas by some aliens. The aliens are most effectively not seen as a POV shot - hand held camera with a fish-eye lens - sort of spooky the first time but, used over and over again it lost its power (incidentaly, if it is a Point of View shot, it means the aliens always walk out of rooms backwards for some reason).The film was set in "England". This meant the Spanish Italian set designers put some British number plates on a couple of English cars and put a Union Jack on our hero's press card... and that was about it. No other attempt to make it look like the UK at all.Favourite moment? When the Foley artists didn't notice that characters they were foleying (is there such a word?) were no longer walking on gravel but were now on the lawn so their feet kept on making loud "crunch! crunch!" noises. Other than that, another total waste of 90 minutes of my life. I hope they prove those UFOs have no bellicose motives soon...
