Low budget scifi movie on comcast ondemand 1980-2000
I’ve been trying to find this movie for YEARS and it’s driving me insane.
Here’s everything I remember:
- A little boy gets abducted by a spacecraft right outside his house. I think he was in the yard, maybe evening or night.
- He’s gone for a long time, like 15 to 20 years.
- Then one day, the spacecraft brings him back to his hometown, but now he’s an adult.
- When he returns, he’s very robotic and socially off. He does not understand normal human behavior at all.
- I don’t remember him having powers. It felt more grounded and eerie.
- There’s a woman he connects with, possibly a love interest or at least someone who helps him.
- I vaguely remember him getting some kind of basic job (maybe grocery store) and living in a tiny, very bare apartment.
- One detail that always stuck with me is his place was almost empty, and I think he had something like one jar of applesauce or baby food in the fridge. Very minimal, almost like he didn’t understand how to live normally.
- His parents would have been much older, but I don’t clearly remember if they reunite or not.
Context:
- I watched this at home on Comcast On Demand and clearly low budget
- I was probably 7 to 11 years old, born in 1996, so this would have been early to mid 2000s or older
