Unlike similarly marketed movies like Sinister and Insidious, Dark Skies goes into a completely different direction. To tell you would be too much of a spoiler. What is amazing about this film and what differentiates it from most supernatural/possession films, is acting. The acting in this is actually really good, despite a pretty unremarkable script. Keri Russell is actually shockingly awesome and Josh Hamilton nails the "everyman" to a tee. They are a family, like many, under immense economic pressure and blaming all the woes on these issues. Until one night they realize it might be something else. As their problems become too much to handle and people starting asking questions, they are faced with a decision, both as parents and as a couple.
Dark Skies will not make you jump out of your seat. It won't make you cover your eyes. It won't make you scream. What it will do is creep you out on a different level, because of the situation and the insinuation of its outcome. I know this is a vague review, but to be specific would give too much away. Oh and if you are expecting an ending like Sinister or Insidious, you'll be sadly disappointing. This one is smart and creepy. I was amazed by it and thrilled they didn't go with the alternate ending.
