Skyman

I never like to be harsh for these indie low-budget flicks but this did nothing for me. I never felt the atmosphere, the tension or any kind of fear coming from here. Good acting tho.

Seeing as this is rating 6.5/10 is comical. I just wasted an hour and a half of my life. I LOVE alien syfy movies. Good and bad aliens. I also like docuhorrors but idk what in the ET this what because ET would have dropped his pants and deffecated all over it.

Myrick's Skyman is a look into the UFO sighting community, via the perspective of a fictional person: Carl Merryweather. This Myrick's follow up with the genre of found footage (Blair Witch Project).

Yes, this film may get negative reviews since many want to see a straight-up horror film. And it doesn't help that it's a slow burn with Merryweather (helmed by Michael Selle) discusses his childhood "alien" experience: the Skyman.

Merryweather is played very good, tries to humanize his experience. It has great connections and scenes to the existing gatherings or conventions for those to discuss alien-abducted experiences.

If you are seeing this film for jumpscares, then probably see Blair Witch Project. This offers a different prospective, one follows the footage delving into Merryweather's life and obsession. It makes one think about Richard Drefuss's character from the Close Encounters of Third Kind.

It shows how Myrick did his research on families and real cases examining the prolonged frustration on alien abduction beliefs This is done very well the main characters, that is Merryweather's situation.

First off, the acting is pretty bad by the entire cast. Secondly, I kept having to tell myself that there must be a big payoff at the end to warrant sitting through this incredibly boring plot. But there wasn't. From start to finish, this film is just a waste of time. I love science fiction and I believe in extraterrestrial life, but this was just plain awful. Don't waste your money.

The actors in this gave away it was a spoof documentary because of how bad the acting was. At least the way they act they play so straight face it comes off has bs and bad acting tbh.
