    Dark Skies is a bore that even the most forgiving genre buffs will find difficult to defend or endure.

    Scott Stewart's Dark Skies is the definitive horror film for the Tea Party era.

    The characters are reluctant to believe in the face of overwhelming evidence, mostly because writer-director Scott Stewart doesn’t want to play his hand too early. By the time the movie is over, it’s easy to see why he kept his cards close to his chest. He’s not really holding anything.

    A pretty entertaining movie with a nice twist at the end. The only negative thing I have to say is that the husband (Josh Hamilton) is a terrible actor. Other than that worth the price of admission...… Full Review »
