glowing alien movie, possibly pre-2000s

Theres this movie that scared the ever loving shit out of me as a kid and it was about these really tall glowing orange aliens that visit earth and wear peoples skin as disguise and they might actually kill people in the process too, hell they migtve been taking the skin of seniors that passed on already which would make it more terrifying, but theyre here because of some meteor that crashes into this senior centers pool, and it gives the pool healing properties that the people dont manage to figure out the source of until the very end of the movie, and the whole thing centers around that mystery.

And the end is pretty sad actually because in the middle fo the night someone brings their ailing partner who just passed in their sleep to the pool and splashes their face w the water only to be told by someone else that the aliens were gone and that the pool wont save them anymore, bc this was after they had found their way back to their home planet and everything. Im so curious to know if they were as scary as i remembered

No idea when it was released, it mightve even been on vcr cos my grandmother was watching it. I remember it being 19 something though

cowboys vs aliens doppleganger, very similar in premise but different. pre-2013

I remember a film that had a sci fi premise around a worlds-converging trope, but this movie i can only remember the shitty ass ending unforitnetly, which is the main character ends up in this super idyllic ending where everything seems to work out, ie he marries this princess of osme alien race that they were at war with earlier, and now him and her race are joining forces against their mutual enemy or something along those lines? Because she started out as his enemy or something. And its a scene of him on a balcony in a nice ass castle that specfically reminded little me of the castles in aladdin and it had the backdrop of a really beautiful alien planet and he can see their moon and he goes thru the billowing white curtains into their bedroom and ends with them going to bed together and i was like wow thats a weirdly perfect ending. 

Only for the main character to wake up at night in the canyon the movie started in, where he almost lost his life and was found by someone or soemTHING perhaps, it mightve been the aliens, and he looks to his left and digs up his brothers body, of whom he had tried and failed to save when he was found, whether ot not he had saved his brother in this dream world i cant remember. and his body was decomposed too which made no sense

And i thought it had a really disappointing ass ending, especially considering the entire movie spanned like, years. But i need to find it, its killing me!! I went this entire time thinking the movie was called cowboys vs aliens and i have the vivid memory of the end title card but i JUST watched that movie and thats not it at all lmao.
