Horror Film Review - Dark Skies

Cast: Dakota Goyo, JK Simmons, Josh Hamilton, Kadan Rockett, Keri Russell
Director: Scott Charles Stewart

Josh Hamilton and Keri Russell star as Daniel and Lacy Barrett, a couple with two kids in this old fashioned horror movie. The children end up with mysterious marks and bruises on their body which the parents are held responsible for however even the children themselves don't know how they came. This film consists of a lot of old school horror aspects like the "Sandman" as little Sam Barrett likes to say and the director, Scott, even used these weird alien like invaders to come after the family.

I enjoyed watching this movie as although it contained a lot of the typical horror movie conventions for example children being able to see the paranormal objects and making drawings of them, the director also challenged the conventions as the films horror aspect was more supernatural than paranormal because Scott didn't use ghosts or evil spirits etc.
 
This film is defonately more for those that prefer the more alien like side of horror over the ghostly side.
