From Venus is a 2005 independent science fiction film starring DJ Perry, Michael Melik Brown, and David Borowicz. The film was directed by Mark Bessenger, who also co-wrote the screenplay along with DJ Perry. From Venus is a unique film that blends science fiction with human drama to create a thought-provoking and emotional story. The film is centered around Scott (DJ Perry), a disillusioned man who has lost his faith in everything - including love. He spends his days working as a traffic cop but finds little joy in his life. However, things take an intriguing turn when he witnesses a UFO sighting and starts experiencing strange dreams. In the dreams, he sees a beautiful woman named Marta (Terri Partyka) who communicates with him telepathically.
Soon, Scott discovers that Marta is an alien from a planet called Venus. Marta has been sent to Earth to experience emotions, which Venusians are incapable of feeling. She chooses Scott as her subject and begins to explore human emotions through him. As Marta and Scott start to bond, they begin to experience some of the most intense emotions they have ever felt.
However, things take a darker turn as government agencies start to investigate the UFO sightings. They are convinced that Marta and her spaceship pose a threat to national security and will stop at nothing to capture her. As Scott and Marta try to escape the government agencies, they also face their own personal demons and must find a way to confront them.
From Venus is a beautiful film that explores the themes of love, human emotions, sacrifice, and redemption. The film has a unique blend of science fiction and drama, and the director handles the tone perfectly. The performances are excellent, particularly DJ Perry, who gives a nuanced portrayal of a man who has lost everything and finds hope in the most unexpected places. Michael Melik Brown as Captain Cooper, who is tasked with investigating the UFO sightings, is also exceptional and adds a sense of tension and urgency to the film.
From Venus is a low-budget film, but the director makes excellent use of the resources available. The special effects are simple but effective, and the cinematography is beautiful. The film's score is also quite haunting and adds to the emotional impact of the film.
Overall, From Venus is one of those sci-fi films that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
