Die Außerirdischen (1979)
47KDie Außerirdischen: Directed by Giulio Paradisi. With Mel Ferrer, Glenn Ford, Lance Henriksen, John Huston. The soul of a young girl with telekinetic powers becomes the prize in a fight between forces of God and the Devil.
“The plot, as I hopefully understand it, is that Satan (or Sateen, as this film calls him) fathers children with supernatural powers. One of these children is 8 year-old Katy, who has telekinetic powers and a heavy Southern drawl. An intergalactic traveler called The Visitor must battle the child for the fate of the universe….or something like that. Thereu0026#39;s also some stuff about an evil hawk, some bald aliens, and a crazy-eyed Jesus with a bad blonde wig.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNonsensical Italian-made claptrap that combines u0026#39;70s fascinations with the occult and aliens. Itu0026#39;s an awful movie that rips off many better movies, made watchable by some striking imagery and interesting casting. John Huston, Lance Henriksen, Sam Peckinpah, Mel Ferrer, Shelly Winters, and Glenn Ford are all in this. That says more about the state of their respective careers at the time than it does about the quality of this production. Incoherent but good for some laughs. Dig that terribly out of place soundtrack, too.”
