REVIEWED
Watched this for the change of watching dramas all this while. From what I know this will be a Scifi Alien kind of movie. Not expecting much as it is low budget with unknown actors except for Academy award winner JK Simmons. Karen Russell, have seen her before in some film.
This film is only 1 1/2hr long. Normally shorter movies would make less mistakes. It should not feel draggy and should be fast paced. There are many cliche that this movie took like Poltergeist and those Paranormal Activities films etc. But those are supernatural movies and this is a sci fi movie. So that was the confusion so to speak.
At the opening credits, there was a quote from Arthur C Clarke on alien visits, so audience are ready for it. But why did it take so long to get to it ? The build up of suspense was like for the family to finally meet ghosts of the underworld.
Like always they could not convince the authorities that they have Alien problem. Then they have to meet the expert played in 1 scene by JK Simmons. Then its the family vs Aliens which we never see upfront just some shadowy figures. So that was really disappointing. Not that I expect more effects or props, but just stingy I guess.
Its not that bad in the acting and it dont feel like a B grade sci fi movie, but it could have been much much better.
The theory of Alien invasion or abduction is explained in this one with a alternative perspective than other Sci Fi movie I might seen in the past. So if you are sick, check if you are alien potential.
See if you want some thrill from your daily routine drama movies.
