Dark Skies (2013)

Running time: 97 minutes

 

Daniel and Lacy Barrett are living a quiet life in an American suburb with their two sons, Jesse and Sammy. After noticing multiple strange occurrences in the house, they start wondering if some strange and malevolent presence has taken over their family.

 The actors do a good job, the premise showed a lot of promise and the directing was quite efficient, but something got lost in the storytelling along the way. It all gets confused and muddled. By the end, I was disappointed, though some moments here and there made me react quite strongly, like a good horror movie should.
