I love this movie so much

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Old friends get together for a weekend in the woods. Sandy and Hayden hit it off immediately, sharing sex and drugs. Michael brought his photographer friend Brian. Robert and Jenny are together, but are bickering. Annie and Glen seem to be unattached. They look at the stars which are very clear out in the middle of nowhere. There are also shooting stars. One lands relatively nearby. Some of them are high, and decide to go find it.Hayden does not come back, so they go looking for him. They find him, a bit worse for the wear. Thing move back toward normal, somewhat, except for Jenny's telling Robert that she is pregnant. Shelly disappears about the same time that the lights go out. The search is on. They find her, and she's a bit garbled in her responses. They decide to leave, but none of their four vehicles will start.Then the elimination derby is on. One after another the aliens take over the minds and wills of the people in the party.Will anyone survive the onslaught? ------Scores-------Cinematography: 7/10 Well done for a low budget film.Sound: 8/10 Not too bad.Acting: 0/10 Michael Cornacchia and Anne Griffin were absolutely terrible. Stacy Jorgensen was also rather bad. The others were unconvincing.Screenplay: 2/10 There are lots of inconsistencies about what the aliens can do. There was a large percentage of the film that was just plain boring. The pointless yelling sequences were very irritating.SFX: 2/10 Amateurish; special effects were laughably bad.

What do you expect from a movie that was put out right before DARK SKIES? Its miserably low budget, horrible acting, horrendous camera work (even for a found footage movie), and the script between the characters are just bad bad bad. However, the only reason I give this a 6 is for the simple reason of the scare factor. This movie did make me jump a couple of times and that is hard to do. The 'you know its coming' doesn't happen in this movie and suddenly you are freaked out. Other than that, I wouldn't necessarily watch this unless if you have another movie to watch.Putting this movie against DARK SKIES, its about 2 notches lower, but the jump tactics are actually better in this one than DARK SKIES.

I was surprised to see the low ratings for this film. I must say that I thought it was the best and (theoretically) the most accurate film of its class. It brought back some remnants of the literary work of Whitley Strieber. Without any of the hokey "found footage" film; the writers and director do an excellent job of evoking how a reasonable abduction might occur. Each of the characters were believable, though not fully developed. It didn't really matter how developed the characters were to make this work.What I do have to take to task is the results of the abduction. It took an outstanding film and made made it a great film. In the "less is more" category we didn't need to see what the aliens did. Moreover, it was pushing the envelop when the abductees left with a "puppet master" change of personality. This wasn't needed; and the shots inside the spaceship weren't needed and were probably an expensive cost.Good show!

Let me just say this at the beginning, don't waste your time on this. The only other movie worse than this is Chu Chu and the Philly Flash, which I didn't rent but suffered through. How anyone got 1.5M to make this is beyond my understanding. Goes absolutely nowhere in a hurry. Almost couldn't make it through the first 10 minutes and considered turning off. After sitting there for 30 minutes, I realized I'd made a bit of a time commitment and needed to see it through to the end. There are so many stupid aspects of the movie that it makes you wonder how the writers could produce this while laughing so hard. Haven't look to see what kind of return they got on the movie compared to the 1.5M. Would be interesting to see.
