 Why are they here? What do they want? Will they move into the neighborhood?
From the screenwriter of MARRIED TO THE MOB, FROM OTHER WORLDS, is a comedic, sci-fi detective story of a depressed Brooklyn housewife , Joanne Schwartzbaum (Cara Buono), who sleepwalks through her life stuck in the same routine. Everything changes when she encounters an alien force in her kitchen.
She meets an African immigrant, Abraham Kanga, (Isaach De Bankole) who has had a similar close encounter. Together they are determined to solve the mystery of their shared otherworldly experiences. Joanne’s husband, Brian, (David Lansbury), wonders if Joanne is crazy or cheating on him as she becomes increasingly mysterious as her frantic sleuthing activities increase.
Along the way, Joanne finds romance, saves the planet from chaos and destruction, and finds new meaning in her life. With all the fun elements of a B movie, FROM OTHER WORLDS delightfully spoofs classic sci-fi and horror films.
Also with: Robert Peters, Joel de la Fuente, Paul Lazar, Peter Bartlett and Laurie Esterman.
“Amiable and arch comedy…Cara Buono in a charming lead performance…Gentle human comedy generated by the notion that lonely strangers can provide surprising comfort and support for each other.” - Variety
