Night Skies (2007)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Truly Dreadful Film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I love movies about ETs and the paranormal. Night Skies was reeeally hard to finish because it was so poorly made. Just when I got past the formula "cookie-cutter" characters and their less than believable actions -- the special effects started in. Oye vey.This reminds of another Arizona alien movie, Fire in the Sky. It was a very good movie and I wondered how much of it was accurate. After some research, it turned out that the guy who inspired the story for Fire in the Sky had a very different version than what the movie portrayed.That makes me wonder if there is any semblance of a "true story" that is portrayed in this train wreck of a movie, Night Skies.Unanswered questions for me once I finally reached the end of this horror story: 1. Why would beings that are sophisticated enough to travel through space/dimensions need to blow out the windows of a vehicle/house to abduct the screaming actors? 2. Why in the hell did the aliens explode a cabin in the woods? wtf

Yes, this was pretty awful. It's somewhere between a Dubya economics essay and waterboard torture. Only watched it because Blockbuster is closing all their stores and this is one of the few movies still left in a store.Low budget, horrible dialog, horrible plot, horrible acting, and extreme boredom combine forces with this one. It's so boring, could listen to any insurance seminar for days with a big smile on my face. When they'd say, "How can you stand it??" I'd say because I've watched Night Skies, I can take ANYTHING.When the price of gas rises, less seems to happen in U Know Where. With this movie, gas must have been $8 because absolutely nothing happens.

Wow. I actually just went through the IMDb registration just to leave a note about this movie. Don't watch it! I actually wanted to scratch up the DVD so someone doesn't feel like I do when they rent the copy I have.The characters are (written) so stupid that, like someone else commented here, I was totally rooting for the aliens! If people actually act like these people acted, I have to move out of Arizona. If you put them all together, they're as dumb as a box of hair.I think the effects would have been better if they had more than a pan light, some dry ice, and a case of silly string (pink and yellow, it's for the end). If one girl can get sucked up by light, why do all the aliens follow them around the woods? These guys mastered space flight, right? FYI to filmmaker: blood, not translucent; superglue, not a truncate; and why would they not have first aid, but they have a block of about 8 knives? Errr!!Had to get it off my chest. If you've seen it, you'll understand; if you haven't, don't.

It's hard to become emotionally involved with characters in a movie when they don't even like each other. You have to wonder why a group of people would even take a vacation together when they get along so poorly. Then when the alien trouble starts you hardly care about most of them. Beyond that you have to get back to an often asked question. Why would beings from a superior planet come all this way to terrorize a bunch of lost tourists. If you are really bored at 2 in the morning and you can't sleep and it's free on TV then maybe. If you have to pay to rent it - save your money.
