Iris, they've gotta put something on. We can't run around with three naked kids, not even in Hollywood.
A long-lost, unheralded sci-fi treasure from the early ‘80s, Wavelength offers a unique, documentary-style take on alien contact. Written and directed by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Mike Gray (The China Syndrome), the film blends stark realism with a pulsing, synth-driven score by Tangerine Dream. Starring Robert Carradine and Cherie Currie of The Runaways, Wavelength follows a struggling musician and a telepathic woman who uncover a government facility holding extraterrestrial captives. As they embark on a daring rescue, the film eschews spectacle for a grounded, intimate approach—making for a haunting, thought-provoking experience unlike any other in the genre. Understated yet compelling, Wavelength remains a hidden gem, waiting to be rediscovered by sci-fi aficionados and fans of atmospheric, cerebral storytelling
