Excellent, Without a doubt!!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Sophie Bishop returns to Phoenix. It was 20 years earlier that UFOs interrupted her 6th birthday party. Her older brother Josh pursued the UFO with friends, Ashley and Mark. They go missing soon after. In present day, Josh's old footage is found and Sophie follows the investigation.The present day stuff is lacking any tension. It's circling the old footage. It would be more compelling to play all of the old footage first. At least, there is an expected payoff with the found footage and that gives them some tension. The footage could lead to some questions, and present day Sophie could follow in their footsteps to find some ultimate answer. As it stands, the found footage is fine and present day Sophie is lackluster.

Not all that bad of movie but really slow. The last half of the movie started to pick up and last thirty minutes are pretty fun. So this Phoenix Lights event did really happen and it's been quite a mystery for a long time. So the part about the whole movie that's really fkkd up, is the night of Phoenix Lights; four men actually went missing, Mitch Adams, Ryan Stone, Glenn Lauder and Jacob Reynolds and never a trace was found of their bodies. They never even honored these dudes at the end. They stole their story and turned it into teenagers to sell it to a younger market. Ridiculous, you literally had a true story and just Frankensteind it....??? It's this unsolved case that gives fuel to the possibility that they may have been abducted that night by the occupants of the UFOs. Whatever, so use to bad ideas and sceen writing these days.

This movie really surprised me honestly. I did not expect at all to like it as much as I did. I'm a huge fan of the found footage genre when done right and it's very hard to find some good ones out there. This movie in particular was hands down my favorite "indie", as you can all it, found footage movie.From the beginning there's already a sense of suspense to it and mystery behind what happened to the missing trio. It's kinda obvious based off of the type of movie this is that they are abducted, but what leads up to it is very interesting. A slow burner for sure, not much interesting happens until the last 30 minutes but before that is a very well crafted backstory and "mockumentary" style movie. They go in depth of the backstory of each of the kids and the protagonist of the movie is on a constant search for not only her missing brother but the other 2 that he brought along with him. Being an AZ native I was very surprised at how realistic this movie is and really, even if you're not from there, this movie is VERY realistic. The acting seems real, the way it's filmed feel very 90's, and the actual events aren't your usual CGI and jumpscare filled horror. There's a lot of suspense and mystery behind what actually happened.This movie I would recommend to anyone with a willing eye, or just anyone in general.

IMDb needs to give all these amateur reviewers some proper guidelines on how to review a film more accurately, instead of comparing this to that etc.. And for anyone who thinks me and my review are fake due to my high scoring, click on me and you will see otherwise - by a long shot.I've explained how to properly review a film about a dozen times out of my over 220+ reviews (and over 600 ratings), and based on the idiotic reviews for this film, I'll explain it again.Firstly, you don't compare an amateur/indie film with C-list actors to a blockbuster big production film with A-list actors! It's like comparing an Olympic runner to a retired old man that goes for regular walks. Clearly we know who is better, faster, and more qualified to win! You compare each in their own class, or in the case of rating a film, on it's own merits.You also look at who backed any film (big production company=big $$$ for a better film) and the key individuals involved in the production (director, writer, etc..). This film had no big backing and only a 2+ million dollar budget - and should not be compared to a 200+ million dollar film.So now let's get to the specifics that made this film great. We have here Justin Barber of which the 'highlight' of his resume is mainly Art department (19 credits) for 'graphics'. This is only the 2nd film he's ever directed and written, his first was a short. So this film was his writing and directorial debut! WOW! Even if he was a seasoned director and writer, still WOW! Justin Barber nailed the writing with an excellent story (lame reviewers comparing it to Blair Witch - so what, you only have one film to compare this too smh?) and his directing was perfect - from close ups, to cam shots to angles and sweeps, it was outstanding. I tip my hat to you Mr. Barber and look forward to your next project!Now let's look at the actors: of the leads, Luke Spencer Roberts and Florence Hartigan are the only two with some acting experience, mainly in TV series, and thus only C-list actors. Chelsea Lopez is only know for two major films, and this is one (and the first) of them. Justin Matthews has only 3 items on his resume - 2 TV shows and this (first) film! These kids nailed their roles to 100% perfection! They performed better than some A-list actors I've seen lately and they were very convincing and perfect in their roles! WOW, I can't wait to see where they'll be in 10 years from now, bravo guys!I could find absolutely nothing wrong with this film. I really enjoyed it and it was very convincing. Cinematography was excellent as was the editing. Sound was on point. Sure something like this has been done before, but not by amateurs and end up being this good! For that matter, what film out there has 'not' been done before?This was a fun ride, entertaining, captivating and thrilling - and executed perfectly. Even if I wasn't rating this on its own merits, it would still score at least an 8 or 9. But on it's merits, it's a perfect 10/10! Watch this with an open mind and realize what and who is behind any film before you slam it.
