Question
There is a movie I remember from when I was a kid, probably from 70's or 80's about a man who falls into a coma and then dies. However, the doctors resuscitate him and send him back to his family but he is different.  Do you know what movie this is?

Answer
Hi, Actually I just thought of what it could be. It may be the British horror film released in 1983, called: XTRO - the plot is as follows:

Tony's father Sam, abducted by aliens three years earlier, returns to earth and seeks out his wife and son, but Rachel has since been living with Joe and the reunion is awkward. Joe doesn't trust Sam, and Rachel can't quite decide what her feelings are for her two men. Sam is not the same as when he left, and he begins affecting Tony in frightening ways.

Then again, it too probably won't be it...though the movie you're chasing does sound very familiar. Best of luck
