It's going to go away. Go to sleep.

Wake up. It's very simple.

In the morning, you'll feel wonderful.

- We'll be together. We're connected.

- What's happening?

We're together.

Your fear. That's good. Let it go.

Get away from me!

Get away from my kids!

This way!

Go on, we'll cover you!

Move it out, mister!

What's all that noise?

Petey, those are gunshots.

Pete, where the f*** are you?

What's going on?

Sit down, Timbo.

What the hell's going on?

Hey, Justin.

Go to sleep, Timbo.

What is this, a joke?

Just go back to bed.

What's with the needle?

What is this?

What're you doing?

I told you to go to bed, didn't I?

Take my watch.

I gotta try to find us some help.

Be back in a couple of hours.

You'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

Do what your sister tells you.

Where are you going?

To find us a way out of here.

Just be very quiet, okay?

Don't worry, sweetheart.

I won't let anything happen to you.

I need an outside line.

Sorry, Major Collins,

all the lines are busy at present.

Stay where you are.

I'll keep trying and call you back.

How do you know my name?

I didn't tell you my name!

How the hell do you know my name?

Major.

Back!

It's me. It's Steve Malone.

Remember me?

I know who you are. You...

...stay... back.

You gotta help me.

No time left. My kids are in danger.

My wife is...

Do you have a car?

Please. Come on.

It's too late to run.

It's too late!

They've taken the base!

All we can do is wait

until they come and then...

The keys.

The keys.

They'll follow you.

They'll follow you.

That's how they work.

We gotta stand up and fight back now!

I've got a gun for you.

I've got a gun for you too.

We'll give them hell!

We'll give them hell.

We'll show them what the human race

is really made of.

Want some?

Stay with me, Doctor. We have to go.

Now.

You can't sleep. You gotta make sure

you don't sleep.

Come on.

Please.

Please.

The head cabbage.

Well, well, well, well, well.

Be realistic, Major.

Put it down.

Not before I unload a few

into you onion-heads.

Relax, Major. Take it easy.

You disappoint me.

You're a man of medicine.

You're supposed to preserve life,

not take it.

You bastard!

You call what you are "life"?

I know who you are!

- I know who you are!

- Do you?

Amphetamines.

I know what happens when you bastards

catch somebody sleeping.

Want a few?

Look what your fear has done to you.

Can't you see?

When all things are conformed...

...there'll be no more disputes.

No conflicts.

No more problems.

Abandon yourself and join us.

There are hundreds...

...even thousands of us here.

We've traveled light years

throughout the universe...

...always surviving, growing stronger.

Because we've learned...

...it's the race that's important...

...not the individual.

The individual's always important.

- Only unity guarantees survival.

- So you must join us.

- The human race is doomed.

- Accept it.

It's a better way.

- Stay back!

- It's a matter of survival.

Stay back! Stay back!

I'm warning you to stay back!

Doctor...

...put the gun down.

You'll never get my soul.

Never.

"Nobody likes us

"Everybody hates us

"Going to the garden...

"...to get worms

"Long, thin, slimy ones

"...short, fat, juicy ones...

"...itsy-bitsy, fuzzy worms

"First, you bite the head off

"Then you suck the juice out

"Then you throw the rest away"

Everybody okay?

I found us a way out of here.

Dad, they're everywhere!

Where are we going?

I know what I'm doing. Don't worry.

Just don't show any emotion.

They can be fooled.

I know where I'm going.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Where are you going?

Stop!

Let go! Let go!

Sh*t! Sh*t!

Don't make me hurt you. Just calm down.

What's going on?

Let her go!

Leave her alone!

Shoot him! Shoot him!

- What's happening?

- He's not my father!

It's not him!

Shoot him!

- Just back up. Back up. Put it away.

- Don't listen!

- Shoot him!

- What do you mean?

Stay back.

It's not my dad! He killed my father.

- Put it away.

- It's not my dad!

- They killed my father!

- Just relax...

- Shoot him!

...and put it away.

What are you doing?

Marti, let's go.

Come on, Marti!

There's my chopper.

It's too dangerous, so I'm going alone.

Watch for me. I'll land it over here.

Be ready to make your move

when I touch down.

We'll get out of here.

Ready for that ride I promised you?

All right.

Just act like one of them.

Be careful.

Nobody believed me.

I figured you'd try a bird.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Now we're all the same, Petey.

So what are you running from?

Who's running?

I've got orders.

We're all one happy family now.

Happy?

What's that?

You're wasting my time, Lieutenant.

They're waiting for light support.

Hey, Timbo...

...just so you know...

...I f***ed your girlfriend.

Okay, let him at the bird.

- What are you doing?

- No! Don't!

You're making a mistake!

Don't!

Please.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Try and wake up! Come on!

Camp Perry, Ohio.

West Point, New York.

Fort Knox, Kentucky.

You can do this, Marti.

You're doing fine. Just walk with me.

Fort Monroe, Virginia.

Fort Bliss, Texas.

Where's Andy, Tim?

He's got to be in there.

I didn't see him.

He wasn't in there.

My chopper's right up there.

I'm not leaving without my brother.

We'll get help, then come back for him.

Do what you want,

but I'm not leaving without him.

Didn't I tell you this place

was a freak show?

Where are you going?

We got work to do.

I saw Andy. He's looking for you.

Where?

Marti, don't leave me!

Marti, wait, don't go!

Don't leave me here!

Go! Go!

Andy, don't! What are you doing? No!

Get him off me!

Andy, what are you doing?

Throw him out!

Throw him out!

He's not your brother!

Throw him out!

Should we go after them?

Let them go. No one'll believe them.

I'm sorry, Marti.

They said nobody would believe us.

Who could believe such a crazy story?

I could hardly believe it myself.

They had destroyed everyone I loved.

Our reaction...

...was only human.

Revenge, hate, remorse, despair, pity...

...and, most of all, fear.

I remember feeling all those things

as I watched the bombs explode.

How I hated them.

Army helo-1, this is Atlanta Ground.

You're onscreen with clearance to land.

Runway 2-7, taxiway alpha.

Hover taxi via east-west parallel.

Ground crew standing by

at Army guard ramp.

Roger that, Atlanta.

This is High-Bird 1 1. Two-mile final.

We're coming in.

They get you when you sleep...

...but you can only stay awake so long.

Where will you go?

Where will you run?

Where will you hide?

Nowhere.

Because there's no one...

...like you...

...left.

Stuart Gordon

Stuart Gordon (born August 11, 1947) is an American filmmaker, theatre director, screenwriter, and playwright. Initially recognized for his provocative and frequently controversial work in experimental theatre, Gordon is perhaps more widely known for work in film. Most of Gordon's cinematic work is in the horror genre, though he has also ventured into science fiction and film noir. Like his friend and fellow filmmaker Brian Yuzna, Gordon is a fan of H. P. Lovecraft and has adapted several of the author's stories for the screen, including Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dagon, as well as the Masters of Horror episode Dreams in the Witch-House. He has turned to the work of Edgar Allan Poe on two occasions, directing The Pit and the Pendulum in 1991 and The Black Cat for Masters of Horror Showtime series in 2007. His science fiction films: Robot Jox (1990), and Fortress (1992) have both become cult classics. With Brian Yuzna and writer Ed Naha he co-created Honey, I Shrunk the Kids for Disney Studios and executive produced the sequel Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. He also co-wrote Body Snatchers for Warner Brothers in 1993 and The Dentist for Trimark in 1998. He produced, co-wrote and directed the science fiction comedy Space Truckers starring Dennis Hopper in 1996. He also produced and directed The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit written by Ray Bradbury in 1998. In 2003 he turned to film noir and produced and directed King of the Ants based on the novel by Charlie Higson. This was followed by a film adaptation of David Mamet's dark play Edmond starring William H. Macy in 2006. And in 2007 he produced, co-wrote and directed Stuck starring Stephen Rea and Mena Suvari. more…
