1. I think it was in black and white. The beginning has 3 people in a tiny plane making an emergency landing at night. They see lights, and land. In the morning, they realize that it wasn't an airstrip, but a mainstreet of a little town. They set off to find help. But everyone they encounter is in a trance. Repeating the same motions over and over. Eventually the 3 people try to leave, but discover a forcefield around the town. One of the guys tries breaking through with a car, but the car just explodes. Then the 3 see one of the townspeople get lifted into the air in a beam of light. Days or weeks go by. They notice it never rains. Eventually they find a barn that borders the forcefield and dig their way under. Thats all I remember.
2. I saw this sometime in the late 80's. Don't remember a whole lot, but the story revolved around a videotape that when you watched it made you kill other people. I think there was a shadowy group of people, that I have the feeling were actually aliens.
It's not "The Ring" or "Videodrome". I remember a very weird ambiance to this film, including the score.
