What's that film where...

[Emperor]

I thought we might as well have a thread for half-remembered films.

[Emperor]

... a group of people are invited into some government building and each is called through to the back office and never emerges. Someone starts getting suspicious and when they investigate they find a tunnel of sorts which goes to a shiny white tunnel leading to a lab where the people are being processed by... aliens/insects, alien insects. There is some sabotage and the survivors escape through a manhole, possibly followed by an explosion.

American movie, possibly made for TV, definitely not that great* and now that I describe it that all seems a little short for a film. There is a scene after the manhole escape where they decide to split up and... spread the word, mount a resistance or run away like chickens, so perhaps there is more to the film than that.

* It just annoys me I can't think what it is, I suspect I don't want to watch it again.

What era?

Could it be an Outer limits or Twilight Zone?

or maybe even a Mystery Science Theatre 3000?

An alien Christmas movie..possibly French Canadian and dubbed

I just vaguely remember smarties

That's weird, I was just thinking of asking the same about an 80s film which had some human-sized bat things that wrapped their wings around people, ate them and then ejected all the bones.

Bit like Jeepers Creepers?

That's it! Thanks, mate.

Unless you count the balls-nibbling stoat, I think the bat-bones-ejector beasties may perhaps be the only saving grace of Beastmaster.

I roundly expect to be wrong about the other one but could it be Them or They or whatever that one with Roddy Piper in is called?  (Probably half-remembering it quite, quite wrong but I guess that makes this an eligible post in this thread.)

[Emperor]

What era?

Recent.

Quality wasn't great but was above that of a Syfy film, which isn't saying much.

Could it be an Outer limits or Twilight Zone?

I was wondering that, as it seems a bit... short, but if they were being reprinted I'd have tried to catch a bunch of them. It seems to be standalone.

Dark Skies? It was a series with Eric Close in it, but I think it was set in the sixties or something. And I think there was also some sort of face-hugging alien thing involved too.
