Alien forced human evolution movie
There was a movie I saw on TV probably 10 to 15 years ago that I have been trying to identify ever since. I don’t remember what channel it was on, but it was definitely science fiction.
The premise involved people around the world beginning to hear a strange noise, or possibly some kind of music, that not everyone could hear. I vaguely remember that it may have been mostly, or possibly exclusively, younger people who could hear it.
The people who heard the sound gradually started changing physically. Eventually, it was revealed that the sound was actually some kind of broadcast from an extraterrestrial civilization. It was forcing the people who could hear it to evolve, changing their bodies so they would be able to survive what was about to happen to Earth.
I don’t remember exactly what caused the environmental change. It had something to do with the sun, the atmosphere, or possibly both. Whatever happened caused the daytime environment to become extremely dangerous because of radiation or intense sunlight, to the point that normal humans and most other life could no longer safely go outside during the day.
By the end of the movie, the people affected by the sound had transformed into scaly, alien looking humanoids who were essentially the next stage of human evolution, adapted to survive in this new world.
The part I remember most clearly is the ending. The main character’s daughter has completed the transformation and walks out the front door into this incredibly bright, almost completely white sunlight. Her parents can only watch her go because they have to remain inside and shelter from the conditions outside during the day.
Some of the details may be slightly wrong since I saw this so long ago, but I remember the basic premise and especially that final scene pretty vividly.
Does this sound familiar to anybody?
