…seeing Christopher Walken deep probed by aliens has a real curiosity value for gawkers and thrill-seekers, but Communion’s intermittent sense of quasi-religious conviction is unusual to say the least… Go to Full Review

Communion does an excellent job recreating what ufologists call high strangeness: the hard-to-swallow aspects of an already hard-to-swallow phenomenon. Go to Full Review

Communion isn't a good by any known human standards, however, if we go with my high strangeness theory, that is, that the movie is intentionally weird to invoke the feelings of an abductee in the viewer, then it's a smashing success. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 23 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Don B 06/16/2024 Great movie.. before it’s time but the truth is finally coming out See more Turiyan G 05/23/2024 I hated this movie, they overplayed it on cable, and the trailer for it was the worst hard sell every for a movie at least one made in the united states and that's saying a lot. I've actually never sat through the entire movie. See more bao s 04/07/2024 What? LOL!!!!!!!!!!! See more ari v 01/10/2023 4.25/5 A very humanistic and creative treatment of a rather loaded subject. See more Carlos I 11/26/2022 It's a bit of a confusing mess, dipping into some effective scary science fiction, then all of a sudden switching gears to stark science fact in dealing with the fallout on a human mind and his world around him after an abduction. It's all presented in a hazy dreamlike world that blurs the line of fantasy and reality. I imagine it's much like the experience one would have from being abducted. See more Read all reviews
