As much as I hate to admit it, aliens creep me the fuck out. It's probably the simplistic form they usually take, their silence, and yet knowing how intelligent they are. Even a low budget, shoddily acted bit of hokum like Night Skies, has enough to unsettle me for the most part. A lot of it is in the amateur leagues, but the director certainly has an eye for sticking stuff in the background. It gets even creepier when we see things that the characters don't. It's a shame that there's such a bombastic musical score to ruin a lot of the intensity. It's tolerable when it keeps itself simple, but when it goes aliens overboard it loses the mystery.

This movie was definitely gonna get a lower score than it did. It was a pretty terrible movie throughout and they took close to an hour to involve the aliens into the movie (in a significant way), what happens in the hour preceding the alien don't ask me. All I remember was some guy getting a knife stuck in his shoulder and the hot Ashley Peldon and AJ Cook (yummy) other than that nothing of interest happened. I really wanted the aliens to examine the humans and it looked like it wasn't going to happen but it did thankfully and that's what got the movie from 1 star to 2 stars. While the examination scene could have been a million times better it could have also been equally as bad. So you're not missing anything if you don't see this movie so watch at your own risk, but beware you're going to be in for a bad (and very bumpy) ride.
