Once this happens, the alien's victims' [[MindControlEyes eyes go blank]], and they seemingly become unable (or unwilling) to resist.

* [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch]] of CodeGeass has something akin to this; his 'Geass' (a power closely connected to eyes and sight) allows him to issue 'absolute orders'. Lelouch geasses you to do something, you do it. Not fully this trope (there are enough differences to distance it), but certainly closely related. [[spoiler: Especially when it becomes ''permanently'' active]].
