Night Skies : Do yourself a favor …

Do yourself a favor …

... don't watch this. Or if you're into (insert kind of) pain, watch the first 15-20 minutes. Then delete the file and/or burn the DVD.

Re: Do yourself a favor …

Bad B-movie qualifies in my book as "Worst Alien Abduction Film Ever Made". And I thought "THE FOURTH KIND" was bad...this was far worse, with every blood & guts visceral horror film cliche included, lots of needless violence and profanity, and a pointless story, except to say "aliens are bad". It was hard to care for any of the characters, when they all acted like jerks, except for the character named Richard. He had some humanity in him, but the rest were throwaways.
The visual effects and the grey aliens were good, but the visceral look of their domain was too much like FIRE IN THE SKY (1993) which was a poorly fictionalized sci-fi version of an allegedly true story.
The film showed some promise at the beginning, but it all went downhill from there. Lots of suspenseful moments, but nothing really new or original here.

Yep, exactly. The problem with this film is that it had no allegedly real source, despite the marketing. The simple reason is that there was nothing odd about the Phoenix lights to begin with. They had to steal from other films of the genre that had been based on cases. I like the design of the ship interior for Fire In The Sky, but not the Aliens, which looked like mutated geriatrics; almost creepy, but more pitiful, and not how Walton described.

DARK SKIES was a far better take on the whole subject than NIGHT SKIES.

Agreed.

So many stories, so little time.
