Dark Skies
From the producers of Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister comes Dark Skies: a supernatural thriller that follows a young family living in the suburbs. As husband and wife Daniel and Lacey Barret witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, their safe and peaceful home quickly unravels. When it becomes clear that the Barret family is being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying and deadly force, Daniel and Lacey take matters in their own hands to solve the mystery of what is after their family.
Critics Sentiment
Sammy suffers seizure at park and hundreds of birds crash into house
Jesse disappears with Greys while family realizes he was chosen all along
The film drops nearly 3 points from its peak bird crash sequence to the disappointing finale revelation.
Dark Skies starts strong with effective buildup and genuine scares that reviewers praised for its gradual pacing and psychological approach. However, the film increasingly relies on familiar horror tropes and culminates in a widely criticized anticlimactic ending that left critics feeling the director had no real cards to play.
