Dark Skies is the latest paranormal horror film to come from the Blumhouse Productions company. Scott Stewart’s slow-burn alien abduction film unfortunately suffers from too much build up and not nearly enough payoff, resulting in a film with a creepy and oftentimes thick atmosphere, but one that’s also rarely on point and almost always dipping into genre cliches whenever the chance presents itself. Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton deserve credit for their convincing performances, but sadly they’re both wasted on a film that just never adds up.
Lacy (Keri Russell) and Daniel (Josh Hamilton) Barrett are a normal married couple. They have a few kids and are currently struggling with some financial situations, much like most everyday Americans. Lacy sells homes for a living, while Daniel is attempting to land a job to help support the family. Things are stressful, but nothing that they can’t currently manage.
