Dark Skies ain't that bad

It’s hard to find a compelling and thrilling horror movie on Netflix these days, but Dark Skies comes pretty close. Dark Skies (2013) is about a family being haunted and tormented by aliens. Keri Russell, who was in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, plays Lucy Barrett, a local realtor. She is the mother of two sons, Jesse and Sam, and wife to Daniel Barrett, played by Josh Hamilton. At the beginning of the movie, the family encounters strange occurrences for which they cannot explain and just ignore. Slowly, the incidences get worse and threaten the safety of their family. Lucy and Daniel are on the verge of insanity when they finally decide to seek out a “specialist.” I don’t want to reveal any more details, but the ending is bone chilling. I recommend watching this movie at night with the lights off so you force yourself to believe in the plot of the movie. After I watched it, I was pretty scared going to sleep I’m not going to lie. Horror movies usually don’t scare me anymore, but Dark Skies definitely freaked me out.
