This would have been an A if they just could have tightened it up at the end. But as it stands, this is how you do horror right. Tense, taut, intense, scary and a buildup that just keeps going. I've always been scared of what might be there, not necessarily what is there.....that's one of the reasons Jaws worked so well. This film terrifies you and then keeps going.More later when i have some time.7.5/10

Another horror disappointment for me. Just lingers for the majority of the film.C-, only because of the finale

Did you pay money to see this? If so, why?

 Because its a horror movie and some of us enjoy a good horror flick.

I used my movie pass and my sister wanted to see it

I'll be damned. It always makes me happy when a movie proves me wrong. 

 

I really liked Dark Skies. Its not quite as scary or fucked up as Sinister, but it still delivers the goods: there are some killer scares in here. I also enjoyed the main family, they are much better written than some of the characters you usually see in horror movies. 

 

3,5/5

Pretty good stuff. Creepy and unsettling. Shame about the ending.

[Noctis]

Creepy and tense...until the horribly disappointing ending. What a shame.

it's a visually good looking small film, sharply directed and with good enough performances. Its problem is that it takes a somewhat interesting premise and develops it in the most uninteresting/boring way possible, plus the ending is such a lazy cop out. 50/100
