Title: E.T. The Extra-Terror In this alternate take on the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, we start the story in the same way - a spacecraft lands on Earth, specifically in suburban California, for an unknown purpose. However, unlike in the original, the aliens these beings are not here for peaceful exploration, but for sinister activities. Elliot, a simple suburban kid, encounters one of these aliens, but he does not look as benign as the adorable creature we know. The alien is humanoid, taller, with ominous glowing eyes, exuding a strange energy that seems to drain life around it. Elliot, brave but naive, tries to befriend the alien, not being able to comprehend its evil nature right away. The alien, spotting an opportunity, acts friendly and even plays sick to secure Elliot's empathy. The alien, using Elliot for his needs, starts to establish a psychic connection with him, which causes health deterioration and severe nightmares for the young boy. Elliott becomes enslaved by the alien's mind control, assisting the alien in communicating back to it's swarm of kin waiting in space. As Elliot's condition worsens, his elder brother Michael and his friends realize the menacing nature of the alien. They research readings from local scientists that indicate the aliens are gradually terraforming Earth for their own needs, proving catastrophic for terrestrial life. In a heart-wrenching scene, Elliot pleads for the alien to go back and stop hurting humanity, but the alien reveals its grim plotting in a cold, emotionless tone, feeding on Elliot's fear. Faced with this evil reality, the children rally others in their community, sharing evidence of the alien's destructive intentions and using their knowledge of its weaknesses (e.g., its sensitivity to loud high-pitched noises or certain materials found on Earth) to strategize defense. A thrilling climax unfolds, with the humans devising rudimentary but effective traps, distractions, and weapons causing damage to the alien. Elliot, free from the alien's control, uses his regained strength and the bond they once shared to manipulate the alien into a trap, where it is incapacitated and hidden from its comrades. The alien spacecraft, assuming the earthlings are too powerful, leaves Earth, stranding the original alien. The end scene shows humanity uniting together to contain the alien menace, demonstrating humans' resilience and tenacity, protecting their home at all costs. The final scene could possibly show Elliot and his friends, now heroes, cautiously approaching the incapacitated alien to study and learn from, with an ominous hint that the danger might not be entirely over, setting up for a sequel. In this alternate take, the film loses its innocence and heart but gains an engaging element of suspense, horror, and action, which can make for a compelling watch in its own right.
