It's a diner in the middle of nowhere - but close enough to Area 51 to
attract an endless stream of UFO-lovers. So many of them in fact that
waitress Sophia (Julie Anne Prescott) can't help but answering alien
allusions with utter sarcasm, even if it hurts her chances for ever
getting a decent tip. Despite the closeness to Area 51 though, there's
never anything weird that happens around the diner - until one evening
after closing time, a customer from earlier (Staceye Beatty) walks back in
and just ignores the repeated requests of Sophia and her boss Caroline
(Debra Lamb) to leave - so much so that the two call the cops. However,
the trooper dispatched (Derek Solorsano) as well as Caroline start to act
as weird as the customer soon enough, and a corpse in the parking lot
isn't very reassuring either - and suddenly Sophia has to realize she's
into something over her head, and whatever it is might not have originated
from earth ... Now ok, storywise this little movie has nothing
new to offer - but it's how the story's told that makes it good, as the
film wastes no times with explanations but concentrates entirely on
suspense, giving the viewer just that bit of additional information to be
ahead enough of its lead character (Sophia) to let us anticipate what might
happen and care for her, which is really the right way to suck the
audience into the story. And well-drawn characters played by a strong cast
of course help immensely here as well to make this one cool piece of
science fiction of the alien invasion variety. ... and if this
has at all gotten you interested, you might want to watch this episode
