Jesus! This song is so tonally perfect. Great choice! I want to watch the source now. I love the sequence of shots and hugs leading into the historical footage ~1:30. Your musicality is amazing all through the vid.

I love the sense of character in this, and it's creepy and really enjoyable.

Great vid! I'm not familiar with the source but the vid was an intriguing watch nonetheless, and I can tell it had plenty of additional layers of meaning for people familiar with the film. Now I want to go see this!

Wow, I'd forgotten about this series but I know I watched it at the time and loved it.

The music gives just the right edge of creepiness to it and I love all the cuts of images of the time putting it all in the right setting. I think you did a fabulous job with, I think, a diffcult subject.

Oh, AWESOME! AMAZING song choice, and just a really marvellous vid capturing the spirit of the show. You had me riveted from the first second. Bravo! :D

The music felt so right for this vid, and really matched the sense of time and place that all the aliens were shoving their way into.
