9 Sci-Fi Horror Movies That Went Too Far

Fire in the Sky is a picture that doesn't quite get the love it deserves these days.

Adapted from 1978's The Walton Experience book where Travis Walton detailed his own purported real-life experience, Robert Lieberman's 1993 movie is one of the most impressive, impactful alien abduction films out there.

What makes Fire in the Sky worthy of inclusion here, is how intense its abduction scene is and for how that sequence is made all the more jarring by how it compares to the rest of the picture. For the most part, this '93 film is a slow, methodical story that is largely ambiguous as to whether or not D.B. Sweeney's Travis really was prodded and probed by extreterrsetial beings.

As we see a flashback of what supposedly happened to Travis, it's an aggressive, intense, truly invasive sequence that stays with you long after Fire in the Sky is finished. Here, Walton is dragged to an operating table, stripped, covered in a claustrophobic elastic sheet, has his throat forcefully, bloodily probed and has his eyes pinned open.

For those with an interest in the phenomena of alien abduction, Fire in the Sky's most memorable scene is very much a case of be careful what you wish for.
