Great low-fi sci-fi thriller with a "Night Of The Living Dead"-ish touch.
This unobtrusive little gem has a lot of things in common with George A. Romero's brilliant "Night Of The Living Dead" (1968). There are no undead in "The Alpha Incident", and it's not an actual horror movie, but the premise, the setting, and the tone are quite similar. A group of people are confined to an isolated house, threatened by an omnipresent external hazard, dictated by higher powers, and tensions among the group are rising.
A microorganism brought home from Mars is only the beginning. "The Alpha Incident" is mostly a psychological thriller, an intimate play with a horror-feel, that reveals the darker, and some of the darkest, corners of the human soul. How would you hold up if you were deprived of sleep for prolonged amounts of time, have nowhere to go, and slowly begin to realize that decisions far beyond your control are being made?
Watch "The Alpha Incident" (1978):
