From the producer of Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister comes Dark Skies: a supernatural thriller that follows a young family living in the suburbs. As husband and wife Daniel and Lacey Barret witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, their safe and peaceful home quickly unravels. When it becomes clear that the Barret family is being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying and deadly force, Daniel and Lacey take matters in their own hands to solve the mystery of what is after their family.

En medio de la película, se les ocurre encender cámaras de visión nocturna en todas las habitaciones para revelar por la mañana lo que pasó por la noche... Eso sería bueno en algún momento de los tiempos gloriosos de Expediente X y la primera Paranormal Activity. Hoy, este crossover de conceptos de terror no tiene nada que ofrecer y solo hace variaciones de los cien veces visto. Las escenas de escalofríos que contiene funcionan, pero ¿es una victoria cuando algo funciona en la película solo gracias al trabajo de los técnicos de sonido? Un desagradecido papel de clase B para J.K. Simmons.

I’m an idiot! I’ve known him for thirty years! I’ve known him for thirty years and again I fall for it. Sváťa Pulec said it for me. I know Scott Charles Stewart, I’ve seen both his films – I even went to the cinema for Priest! And once again I looked forward to his new one, went to the cinema, and left disappointed. That will be my cross to bear. Dark Skies got me with its premise of alien abductions, one that hasn’t been properly developed in the horror genre, so I really wanted it to be good. But it starts and ends with the premise. It never goes anywhere, it’s a by-the-numbers film with toe-curling dialogues and no tension. I don’t demand originality in horror – sometimes a well used cliché is more effective than a filmmaker trying to come out with something original –, but in this case, it simply doesn’t work out. It’s just nothing. The best film by Stewart? Yes, but that’s still far from enough. 5/10

Dark Skies has a somewhat slower start, during which I developed quite a dislike for the father figure (which persisted throughout the rest of the film). But from the first appearance of the unwelcome visitor the plot picks up a nice pace and does not stop even by the wilder (and perhaps too overcomplicated) ending. There are a couple of scares that work thanks to the good sound design and edition, but it's still a rather more restrained sci-fi horror film that also feels low-budget ($3,500,000) considering. It was nice to see J.K. Simmons in a smaller role, but could have easily been given more space.
