“Maybe I had too high of hopes for this. I never, well I try to avoid watching the TV ads and I donu0026#39;t make a habit of watching trailers. Nonetheless I had a pretty good notion of what this film was about and I had really thought maybe this was going to deliver something new that I hadnu0026#39;t seen before. The story was interesting enough for a decent viewing experience u0026amp; it did have some good frightening scenes spread thinly throughout. Overall it was mainly a psychological thriller and was hardly a horror film, so if youu0026#39;re thinking youu0026#39;re going to be in for any kind of brilliant sci-fi visual experience you wonu0026#39;t get much more than very thin u0026quot;shadesu0026quot; of the most commonly used interpretations of what an alien being looks like. Also donu0026#39;t expect any visual horror scenes because there is little more than a bit of head banging. With a budget of $3.5 million the film relied heavily on story u0026amp; acting, but laid off on the CGI. Overall itu0026#39;s cast did a fine job u0026amp; itu0026#39;s production value was as good as any other Hollywood film. While I believe it will hold peoples attention, I doubt many people will be walking out of the theater saying wow or OMG brilliant! The plot was very similar to many other alien abduction films, which made it somewhat predictable right down to the final scene, which contained little more than a very very slight turn of events. Should you run to the theaters or otherwise to see this film, no, but itu0026#39;s still a pretty good watch and do recommend seeing it at your convenience, itu0026#39;s a solid 7/10”
