PlotA married couple, Bob and Dez Wilson, and their 12-year-old son Andy are being accosted by a blinding light when driving home from a daytrip. They wake up a couple of hours later seemingly unscathed but soon experience recurring nightmares. It seems that they have been abducted by aliens, as is later proved by their son's Andy's handycam that had suddenly started running right after the incident. This is also discovered by mysterious Men In Black who start nagging the family up to the point of threatening to kill them. As they are laughed at by the police they seek refuge at SciFi-writer Stan Mills' house and start fighting back. Reception"In contrast to the glossy comedy 'Men in Black' that came out the same year, 'The Shadow Men' is a relatively serious depiction of the legendary conspirators", according to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction online.
