Dark Skies
Story:
A family is terrorized by hostile forces that may or may not be extraterrestrial.
Review:
If you read the title and my review of the most recent Paranormal Activity film, then you already know my opinion of Dark Skies.
It was terrible.
Some randomly thrown in jump scares, mixed with a tiny bit of dread and a very Saw-like twist near the end made this a very forgettable film.
What I liked the most:
1. The few creepy dread building moments.
Surprisingly enough, there were moments that managed to jar me from almost falling asleep, and the build up of dread was actually well done.
2. J.K. Simmons performance.
Even in a horrible film such as Dark Skies, J.K. Simmons still performs amazingly.
3. The soundtrack.
Whoever composed the soundtrack knew what they were doing, and made the film a bit creepier by with the spine tingling tracks.
What I liked the least:
1. Everything else.
Even forgetting Keri Russel's underwhelming performance, the movie played out like a C-grade cheap budget horror film with some equally cheap special effects thrown in.
Who I recommend Dark Skies to:
Well, if you liked the Paranormal Activity films, then you'll probably like Dark Skies.
