Dark Skies (2013)

Starring: Keri Russel, Josh Hamilton, J.K. Simmons
Director: Scott Stewart

Premise:
After strange occurrences begin happening to family members, the mother begins to suspect aliens have targeted them.

My Take:
The movie does a great job at building up suspense and creating turmoil with in the family as the try to sort out what is happening to them. Sure, it goes down familiar territory and the ending isn't a big shocker, but it's done well with solid direction and acting.

Rating: So Good
