“Two possibilities exist…Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
This 2013 Horror/Sci-Fi/Thriller was surprisingly quite good. With remnants of other classic film techniques with a new twist this film was able to be set apart. Written and directed by Scott Stewart (Legion, Sin City), the pace and the way the film unfolds was quite comfortable. Although it seems quite predictable, it peaks in all the right places and gives us a surprise twist at the end. Keri Russell, Josh Hamilton, and Kadan Rockett all give decent performances. But it’s the acting from Canadian Dakota Goyo that stands on his own.
With an estimated budget of $3 million USD they grossed triple at the box-office. Great acting performances and terrifying and disturbing events were all enough to keep the audience gripped to their seats and wanting more. A thrill of the strange and unexplained, viewers could see the research put in this film to give it enough believability for such encounters. There weren’t any over-the-top CGI or camera tricks, instead just a story well-told.
