In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Don't understand how this can be rated at only 6.3. This movie is very compelling and scary, with a great build up towards the crescendo. The way the protagonists handle a very unnatural phenomenon is extremely believable. The characters' actions and behavior remind me of The Excorcist in terms of realistic reactions in a story about the unknown. No contrived conflicts, no one acts like an idiot to make the pacing work. You also really sympathize with the family, who are having a sort of tough time, even before the weird stuff begins. A few weak acting moments, but nothing that ruins the movie. J.K Simmon's part is very good. His monologue is epic and bone chilling, in a minimalist way. Dark and scary from the get go, and with a creepy twist at the very end. Great horror/mystery that get's under your skin.

Dark Skies could easily fall into dime store red Box or cable TV quick pick, but it actually deserves more credit. With a good supporting cast, a few good jump scares and some creepy scenes it certainly delivers on the chill factor. The plot is relatively typical where we have your average Middle class family being terrorized by strange occurrences that are left unexplained until a shocking realization occurs while the mother, Keri Russell, goes surfing on the internet for clues to the odd circumstances that befall upon them. Here they meet a an Extra-Terrestrial consultant who is strange, but proves informative and helpful to the Barret family. Apparently, this is a phenomenon that has been trending for some decades where people end up missing over alien abduction. The plot offers more than just your usual TV thriller of Alien horrors. It also incorporates the complexity of family dysfunction and marital strife which seems exacerbated mainly by the extra-terr4estial nuisance. I found the suspense to be worthwhile. There are some flaws with a few scenes that are directed at poor decisions made by characters. But sometimes a thriller has to be excused of such petty logic. The alien Grays were a bit disappointing and not as gruesome or ominous as I'd hope they would be. But Dark skies benefits from good character development, moody and dreamlike sequences and overall feeling of powerlessness. It's worth the watch.

this movie is amazing, its making me want more... I would love for a second one with the same people and hopefully find the kid. not one bit of it got boring, like when you go through a long boring pause. and the end where he reached out through the walky is telling me another movie could be made out of this! all the actors played the part perfectly. what happened with the dog??? I actually hate horror movies with animals, that's the main terror for me if there is. I found myself rooting for the dog. when she finds the drawings in the box, I knew it was jesse. I just felt it was a trick move but obvious. like I said, this movie is good and people should defo watch it..trustme and hopefully there's going to be a second...10/10

This movie was exhilarating. I mean: wow! The alien brand of movie usually comes in the all out invasion type ala Independence Day, War of the Worlds, Battle L.A. or even Pixels. In some form or fashion it is usually humanity fighting against the alien race.This movie was a more intimate and even eerier look at aliens. The planet is not being invaded but rather a singular home and a singular family. In a lot of ways this is more disturbing and frightening. If the entire world is fighting against these foreign invaders then at least you're not alone. In this thriller the Barrett family was all alone and grossly overwhelmed by some superior and sinister beings.Dark Skies offered lots of thrills and chills in the bogeyman fashion. Just like most scary movies it followed the escalation pattern in that things start off slowly and somewhat explainable until they get to the down right freak-out stage. Even though they followed a well established and well treaded path it blazed its own trail for the alien sub-genre.
