Absolutely Fantastic

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

GREY SKIES was an unwise attempt at a science fiction thriller made by a group of amateur film-makers in Michigan. They shouldn't have bothered, because this alien abduction story is excruciatingly bad, and quite embarrassing to sit through.The story is about a group of dull characters who hole up at a remote house in the woods and soon find themselves assailed by weird stuff going on. We're stuck with an hour of bad actors wandering around in the woods and occasionally screaming before the plot hits properly, but the budget is so limited that there are very few special effects and just lots of bright lights.The acting is truly of a terrible standard and the plot events that play out are completely routine. In fact, there's nothing here at all to keep an audience engaged, so I can only recommend that viewers avoid it like the plague.

Occasionally B graders surprise me and deliver a good flick in spite of a low budget and lesser known stars but not in this case. This movie blows and it blows hard. The plot is thin at the very best, the characters are weak and not likable. The special effects reflect the low budget and the repeated use of an annoying bug sound took away any real credibility to induce suspense the sound may have had. This one was a total waste of 90 min I'm never getting back... The idea behind the movie was alright but the execution was lacking and the story really needed to be fleshed out more and the relationship between the 2 leads was lacklustre and the (on going) fight/relationship issues between the pair were really not necessary to the story. More game play with shadows and music and a much stronger cast could have gone a long way here.

First off I must mention the dialogue in this movie, which is bizarre. After a while I thought I may have been watching a comedy, but there wasn't anything really funny happening apart from the dodgy dialogue and some amazingly stupid reactions from the characters. For example a scene of strange footprints in the forest, and one of the characters exclaims 'what are they?' They are footprints you Dumbo!!! One of the characters throughout the movie taking photographs,captures an alien through the window when taking a shot in the house. The alien is plain as a pike staff in the photograph, with bug eyes, rubber body suit and quite plain to see arms and one of the characters says 'is that a Deer?' Don't know about you but I have never seen a deer with arms, and bug eyes wearing a rubbing suit, unless Deers in Clare, Michigan, USA wear S&M gear. After being tracked by an alien, that keeps bobbing about and showing itself one of the characters says 'I have just been followed by a Racoon'! The first hour nothing much happens, in fact it is really tedious, so I guess the dodgy dialogue keeps the viewer interested wondering if it could get any worse. Well it did get worse, the film is a bit of mess. First when the characters are alien abducted, when they come back they are physically sick and tired and bit zombified, but unless you are paying attention you're not likely to notice. The aliens try to get in the house to get the rest with the help of the abducted zombie victims, politely knocking at the front door :/ as the film progresses the writers must have gotten tired with that idea and opted to beam the aliens straight into the house, then... bored with that they must have thought what the heck, lets just turn them into alien zombies without any effort at all. When the last one is left, she says to the alien 'I don't care where you from you're not taking me' more daft dialogue, so they take her without any effort, do some alien abduction type probing, why? who cares by this stage you have seen it all before and done much better, so all in all, a half witted film, with an half witted script.

But first, face it, clowns are scary, so a paper one could have an impact on someone who's not that familiarized with horror right? Or if you're 12 years old.Anyway, it's not a bad movie, acting was OK, nice characters, but it lacks any kind of jump scares even the simple thrills are completely missing. Not a curios fact that no one ever commented on this movie, it's as underground as a horror could get to be honest.I actually can't find a single reason to recommend it, again, it is NOT bad, but it's just dull, so so, dull. Final idea, avoid it, go play with your mouse cursor, much more fun trust me.
