异形入侵 (1982)
The Sender
以“精神感应”来做文章的科幻恐怖片。剧情描述一名患有健忘症的年轻人求助于精神病女医师，在她长期观察下发现青年的病状十分离奇，似乎具有一种难以说明的神奇力量。此时青年突然在医院中自杀，他在睡梦中将自己的恶梦传输到其他病人的梦海中，造成医院的大恐慌，女医生才赫然发现青年原来是外星派来的异形。这部低成本的英国片拍得气氛紧凑，悬疑性的卖弄也相当成功，显出导演罗杰·克里斯蒂安处理类型处的功力。

趣闻
The Sender is a 1982 British supernatural horror film directed by Roger Christian, written by Thomas Baum, and starring Kathryn Harrold, Željko Ivanek, Shirley Knight, and Paul Freeman. The plot follows a therapist attempting to help a disturbed telepathic man able to transmit his dreams and visions into the minds of those around him.
Production
The screenplay was written by Thomas Baum, who based in on his own experiences growing up with an agoraphobic and overly protective mother.
The script was first purchased by 20th Century Fox, who were hoping for a quasi follow-up to Brian De Palma’s The Fury (1978)—a box office hit about another youth with devastating psychic powers—but the production floundered and was dumped before it got off the ground.
Christian made his feature directorial debut with The Sender after producers were impressed with his previously directed short films, Black Angel and The Dollar Bottom. Several of his previous collaborators, including composer Trevor Jones, cinematographer Roger Pratt, and special effects supervisor Nick Allder, were retained by Christian for the film.
The titular role was played by a then-unknown Željko Ivanek, who had previously only ever acted on-stage. The other leading roles were played by Kathryn Harrold, Shirley Knight, and Paul Freeman. Among the supporting actors were Al Matthews, an American-born singer and radio personality living in the UK who later gained fame for his role in Aliens, and Angus MacInnes, a Canadian character actor known for his supporting roles playing North America…
Exteriors were filmed in the American state of Georgia, while interiors were filmed at Shepperton Studios in Surrey.
