1983 · 84 min · Science Fiction · France, Spain

Original title: Los nuevos extraterrestres

## Synopsis

Extra Terrestrial Visitors is a 1983 science fiction film directed by Juan Piquer Simón. The film's original draft was intended as a straightforward horror film about an evil alien on a murderous rampage, but the film's American producers demanded script alterations in order to cash in on the success of Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by featuring a child and a cute, lovable alien.
