Dark Skies
From the producers of Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister comes Dark Skies: a supernatural thriller that follows a young family living in the suburbs. As husband and wife Daniel and Lacey Barret witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, their safe and peaceful home quickly unravels. When it becomes clear that the Barret family is being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying and deadly force, Daniel and Lacey take matters in their own hands to solve the mystery of what is after their family.
Why it matters
A suburban nightmare where alien abduction lore meets grounded family horror, delivering an unnerving atmospheric thriller.
- Keri Russell anchors the film with a compelling portrayal of maternal dread and escalating paranoia.
- Joseph Bishara’s score amplifies the creeping unease without resorting to cheap jump scares.
- Blends familiar alien invasion tropes with a slow-burn approach, recalling the unsettling suspense of ’70s sci-fi horror.
- For fans of “Paranormal Activity” and “The Fourth Kind,” it offers a more narrative-driven, character-focused take on extraterrestrial terror.
