bacontrees Some angry reviewers are really slamming this movie, but it's not as bad as they rant about. At first, it feels like the acting is mediocre at best - you know, young pretty people taking a back road they shouldn't be on, and trying to be funny and emotional, that type of thing. It does keep getting better, though, but still feels like a movie of the week, which somehow makes it better (lower expectations).What keeps it looking low budget is a combination of: the choice of camera angles and editing (textbook stuff here, but too plain for a thriller), the TV-style slow motion effects and some of the dialogue. It is riddled with horror movie clichés as well (a couple of clever reveals and jump scares, etc).I was going to pull the rip cord at about 20 minutes, but kept watching because it was late at night. At 30 minutes, I decided that I crossed the Rubicon and watched the whole thing. You have to watch the last act! Summary - a low-budget, clean-looking, cliché-ridden, movie-of-the-week style movie, with some good visual effects, which gets better during the last half and has an interesting final act.

lipsum The movie has almost no relation to the story on which it is allegedly based. For more than an hour, it is nothing more than a would-be horror flick, with all the usual clichés of the genre. The aliens are nothing more than a gimmick, as much as I liked them. Come to think of it, they are the best actors in the movie! Otherwise, the acting is bad, characters are unbelievable, FX range from OK to cheap and obvious, and the overall feeling is of an overblown student film. I watched it at night, a time when I simply love cheap, trashy flicks and my mind yearns for ultra low production values and plenty of T&A, if possible. I'm talking about But even with my very lenient and liberal quality criterions for that kind of films, this movie is a flop on every aspect. If there were some T's, at least there was some redeeming points. Otherwise, a total waste of time.

christibrany I think if you are a fan of sci-fi or are interested in the UFO subject you will hands down find this an entertaining film. You are on the edge of your seat the entire time, it is very scary. That was what it was trying to do, be a thrilling film, and I think it got that down very well. Also the actors were not required to do much but I think for the budget and the 'level' of the actors, the acting was more than average and fit the film perfectly. IF you do not like sci-fi, you probably wont like this film ,but if you don't mind it, even if you are not a sci-fi or UFO fan, i think you can enjoy this scary and somewhat thoughtful film. The special effects were very good too, I don't think anything looked fake or cheesy at all. 8/10

ptanderson1987 Night Skies(2007) is a great movie with spooky moments definitely not for the faint hearted. On the DVD disk you can SEE more of Richard and Lily on the UFO and HEAR more gunshot and screams. And if you watch closely in the scene where Richard is in the forest after shooting the other guy, you can see a real freaky alien! Yipes! I flinched after later glimpsing the alien again when Richard got back on the RV. Totally scary as we see Lily running for her life(or maybe it was one of the other girls ?) and trying to make it till morning after they get abducted and Richie has to kill her. Yipes! The cops at the end of the film find Richie scared as hell! Definitely not to miss! 9.98/10! Hire it out or buy it today!
