Nomination Year: 2001

SYNOPSIS: You may recognize the star as Arnold Vosloo, the Mummy from The Mummy. If you'd seen the rest of it, you'd see Brad Dourif in it as well ("Mr. Souder" of Star Trek: Voyager fame). Basically, it's about a doctor who suspects his wife has been impregnated by aliens. He tries to convince her OB/GYN (Brimley), who dies with the knowledge. He then enlists the aid of a UFO conspiracy nut (Dourif), who helps him kidnap the wife from her psycho ward, where the alien baby's mental manipulations have landed her. His plan is to do a highly illegal C-section and abort the fetus himself. Things go downhill from there.

Inane Dialogue

Wilford Brimley, OB-GYN Now, of all the folks you'd want to be your OB, Wilford Brimley has to be near the BOTTOM of the list. Okay maybe Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper, or Paul Reubens come to mind as well, but I digress. I suppose his homespun wisdom and portrayal of caring "horse sense" is what landed him the part, but still... Anyway, after the audience has had time to drink in Wilford calmly discussing some very private feminine matters, we see him swab from his patient some discharge, which GLOWS RED. He looks at it clearly, then, in response to the woman's concerns, says, "Everything's gonna be just fine."

"Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"

The Abduction Under hypnosis (of course), the wife remembers the abduction, and here it is, in all her, uh, its glory. As she is lying in bed naked, our heroine is drawn out of the window and up into the sky (rotated so we can look at her from multiple angles). (Stupidest-Looking) Aliens approach her, and .... By the way, just as an aside, in another part of the film, the husband is talking to his shrink, discussing the abduction. The shrink asks if EVERYTHING were exactly the same when the aliens replaced him atop his wife. He said yes, even the erection. That makes the first part of this clip take on a whole new, painful perspective.
