But once Hutton and the creature establish contact, moviegoers must make a great leap of faith, or surrender to the influence of an illegal hallucinogen, to watch the proceedings with a straight face. By then Director Fred Schepisi and Screenwriters Chip Proser and John Drimmer have all surrendered to Neanderthal...
