It would appear that the major portion of the budget for this turkey went up somebody's nose. The special effects amount to nothing better than a Radio Shack laser pointer bounced off a toaster. The flying saucer might just be a Home Depot plumb bob in drag. For 1996 they look pretty lame.Nevermind that, Jonathon Kay appears to have a penchant for taking talented people and wasting their abilities with drivel. He must be really good at the pitch. He just doesn't follow through with the material.I'm sure the movie works on some level, I just don't know anyone who can afford to get that high.

I finally caught up to "Starlight" last night on television and all I can say is. . . wow! It's hard to know where to begin -- the incredibly hokey special effects (check out the laser beams shooting out of Willie's eyes!), the atrocious acting, the ponderous dialogue, the mismatched use of stock footage, or the air of earnest pretentiousness that infuses the entire production. This truly is a one-of-a-kind experience, and we should all be thankful for that. I nominate Jonathon Kay as the true heir to Ed Wood!

This has an interesting, albeit somewhat fanciful sci-fi plot, but it's wasted with poor direction and shlocky special effects. Rae Dawn Chong is appealing, despite the lack of a believable story and direction consistent with her talent.

All I can really say is that I'm glad that I was knitting socks while watching the movie, or I would be very angry for having wasted 2 hours of my life. The acting was terrible, the plot was even worse. There were some scenes that were meant to be serious that had my husband and I laughing out loud. I highly recommend this movie to people who like to do their own version of MST3K.
