4.0 out of 5 stars Beware the Men in Black, March 4, 2005

This review is from: The Shadow Men (DVD)

UFO lore holds that people who have experienced encounters are often visited by mysterious men in black who convince them not to talk about their experiences. While Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were in a movie that had a lot of fun with this idea, this movie takes the grimmer and darker path.

A family out hiking for a day has an experience with some lights on their way home. They have little or no memory of the experience except disturbing dreams. But as they try to figure out what is going on, they get a visit from the Men in Black. Soon it becomes obvious that they are being watched and are in danger. They turn to a UFO researcher for help.

Family and researcher piece together more of what happened but get targeted by the Men in Black again. In the end we learn more about the Men in Black and who they are but not before some very tense action as the story fully unfolds.

Very well-done with a pretty good cast. The researcher is simplified a little so that the story can unfold in the space of a movie but otherwise it was a tense movie with some chilling moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Men in Black done right, thank god., August 30, 2000

This review is from: Shadow Men [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First of all, let me pave the way for those who aren't going to write a review by saying that, for the most part, this was one of the worst films I have ever seen. Bad acting, a ludicrous plot, and a short length will make you yearn for the moment when you can change the channel or turn off the VCR, but I promise you won't. Why? Because the only people who would be stupid enough to watch this film are the ones who are intrigued by the urban myth of the Man in Black. Not the hip, trendy Will Smith Man in Black, but the cold, calculating, unemotional Man in Black. Do they work for the government? Are they aliens? This movie answers all of those questions... and that's why I love it. Men in Black are to be feared, even IF your dog's name is Anthrax. The way they present themselves, the clothes the wear, their monotone voices, and the rage that forms on their faces when they get angry. Beautiful. As a big fan of Mage the Ascension, I also found this movie a perfect, but campy, example of how those Technocratic agents everyone loves actually work for a living.

Bottom line: if you like UFO's, government conspiracies, and expecially the MiB mythos, then watch this movie. If you have no love for any of those things, I implore you to get all thoughts of watching it out of your head, or you might just find a black cadillac riding your tail on the way home from work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film, June 15, 2001

This is a well made film. Sure it didn't make it as a big budget film but it should have. The acting is excellent & so is the script. Anyone who likes sci-fi films dealing with shadow men will love this flick. Or even if your a fan of Sherilyn Fenn I recommend you buy it. ... Buy it used thru a auction or check out your video stores. Can't say enough about it, its just a great movie!
