The Vast of Night

This highly entertaining debut film is for all you Area 51 fans out there who will salivate over aliens targeting a small town in 1950’s New Mexico. A young switchboard operator and a radio DJ uncover a strange frequency that tips them off to—well, see it for yourself and find out. It’s X-Files time, as they make their way through a clever, crazy-quilt of mysterious phenomena. Amazon scooped up the film just before it played the Toronto Film Festival.
