Featured reviews
It's a rare theme, a genre I desperately seek movies on. A well done alien abduction movie will scare the pants of me and leave me awake night after night watching the open door.
This was not one of them. If I was even slightly entertained by this movie I would have lovingly given this a 5 or 6 star rating. But No.
The film had potential as well, the script started off okay but was executed in such a way that the only thing stopping me from turning it off was my desperate need to see another alien abduction movie. Then the script went bad, really bad.
This movie hurt me.
Can someone please make a descent alien abduction film?
This movie needed more time in pre-production and a more thought to the vision. My bet is that in a few years time this is one they will remake, and it will be a blockbuster.
The proposed plots presented along the way were all great snippets that didn't go together. So I really wish they had gotten a story worked out before making the film.
But some of the snippets were awesome, leaving me so disappointed that the movie didn't make sense in the end. Obviously, other reviewers were enraged by this as well. And every movie maker should know the number 1 way to ruin a film is by having a make-your-own ending for the viewer to come up with 'cause there really wasn't one.
Still, I found it to be great horror honestly.
Astounding feat: The first half-hour of the movie presents the main actress trying to find her sister. A complete banal and monotonous way to open a film with the first 35 minutes (!!) filled with walking around thru nothings and the nerve-racking ineptitude of the actress to have sex with her man.
Plot review: It is an amazing silliness with grotesque and pointless annoying shots after that blank 35 minutes. The movie tries to offer a miscellany of alien conspiracy theories and weirdo scientific experiments but only delivers confusion, commonplaces, poorly conceived interactions and a horrific bad experience to the viewer.
Big question: How this script found funding is an enigma to me.
Conclusion: Avoid this one for the sake of your time.
