Before We Vanish finds Kiyoshi Kurosawa working within well-established genre guidelines to take a poignant, surprisingly sincere look at the human condition. (Rotton Tomatoes)
Three aliens travel to Earth on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for a mass invasion.
Having taken possession of human bodies, the visitors rob their hosts of the very essence of their being – leaving psychological and spiritual devastation in their wake.
As vanguards of an invasion of the planet three aliens take possession of host bodies and assume human form.
With superior technology, skills, strength and endurance the invading species is learning quickly and is sure to overwhelm the people of this planet. Unexpectedly, however, there is one force that could neuter the offensive. — aghaemi
