Aliens is a good effort, and also something of a demo of the latest portable technology. It is a found footage contribution to the alien abduction genre, here filmed in the always beautiful Mohave desert and possibly including Alabama Hills or similar. The story line is pretty thin, but some of the audio and visual effects are cool for a small film. Ms. Hester, however, does a great job portraying her character's changing responses to unseen threats. It will be interesting to see what she does next. This is film for followers of the genre and not many others. The sincere effort made by the producers is appreciated.

The premise was good... Possible aliens in a mysterious zone. But that's the only good thing about this movie. The rest of it was nothing but dumb people making stupid decisions, & then freaking out. Repeat several times over. Its too bad this movie is wasting space.

Build up, build up, build up, then . . . .. NOTHING! What is the sense in making a camcorder movie that shows nothing in the end? In the ending sequence, you can't make heads or tails of anything in the light though the images of whatever is in there is transmitted to video. If you want to watch a movie for only its scare value without ever finding out what is scaring people, this stupid movie is for you!

This film could have been made in a 20 minute short and it was the worst lost footage film I've ever seen.Also the film was very frustrating at times because just as you thought you were about to catch a glimpse of something for gods sake anything! There was nothing and thats exactly how this terrible movie ends.

Would the aliens, witches, and various monsters please abduct the cameras when you torment film students. Please stop with the found film movies. They are boring and mind numbingly boring and predictable. Avoid this movie.

I don't even know where to start... this is a disaster !

I liked the acting and script. Director did pretty well. Lotsa tense moments that keeps hold of you. Worth watching if you're fan of found footage horror reality sort of style movies. Subject nothing original but they made sure it stayed interesting to watch and enjoy..

In the duration of one hour and ten minutes in the film, meaningful content only takes up to ten minutes and it was a bad story. The scenery is of nice attempt but that's it - no valuable information was communicated 90% of the time. In overall quality, it's below college average. So glad that I only watched it on Netfilx and didn't have to pay another ticket and all.

It's not the best but it is far from the worst. The FF genre rarely delivers a fully fleshed-out scenario or compelling special effects and so the skill (or lack) is whether the journey itself is watchable and whether there are enough twists or fresh ideas to sustain interest over the run time. On the negative side, a *lot* of belief suspension is required, the Mexican desert doesn't seem like the optimal place for a single American female to journey through. even more so with substantial equipment, supplies and no transport for the most part. The beautiful desert scenes mostly carry the film while the remote assistant's domestic footage seems largely out of place.

On the plus side, the lead actress did a good job, there were successfully-crafted moments of tension and a few flourishes which took my rating over halfway.

This movie is derivative of 'Blair Witch', which might be the worst movie I ever paid good money to see...so you know where this review is going. The first question I need to ask; why would any young woman set off through the Mexican desert alone, since her brother and his friend, two able bodied men disappeared there? Second question; is this woman a super human? She totes a 2 man tent, sleeping bag, 4 cameras on tripods, a backpack chock full of recording equipment and necessities like TP, food etc. Third question; where is the continuity in the last half of the movie? Scenes go from the woman calmly talking to her friend back home to hysterics and back to normal conversation to hysterical terror...you get the idea. And last question; why do these hand held camera 'docs' never have any kind of closure?

Half the movie is a woman walking in the desert, and sitting inside a tent at nighttime. You'll hear a few growling sounds here and there along with camera glitches during the nighttime, which is supposed to indicate the aliens are nearby, but nothing beyond that. The movie has no tension, no atmosphere, no actual payoff for sitting through the entire thing. I was bored after the first 30 minutes. The acting was subpar, and the filming is what you'd expect from a found footage film. The one positive thing was the CGI for the ending scene. That was all right. And I emphasize "all right." The entire budget must've gone into those 2 minutes. Other than that, you'll see lights buzzing in the sky two or three times. That's the extent of the alien presence. 3/10. Unless you're an alien movie junkie, skip it.

Note to all aspiring film-makers out there: the "found footage" movie is very old and should have died with "The Blair Witch Project". I remember back then thinking that I wish I had not heard all the hype about how scary "The Blair Witch Project" is because perhaps I would've found it disturbing. Film-makers, give this found footage approach a rest. Perhaps if you are low or zero budget and need to make a movie for your film studies class, then you have no other option.

I only watched this movie because I am a subscriber to Canadian Netflix.

Seriously folks, give this a pass.

The premise here is that a sister loved her brother so much, she is willing to do anything to find out what happened to him. It isn't really even to find him. She realizes he is gone. She becomes obsessed and ignores every red flag until the end.

This makes her character ridiculous, and stupid. Since she is the entire movie, this makes the movie hard to watch. This movie also suffers from a lack of real scares or tension. We just get spooky sounds and lights.

Pass on this one.

Could have been a good film. A woman strapped with lights and cameras and an overly sensitive microphone that you could hear her blink, walking around an empty desert. When something bad happens whether its aliens or falling down a low angle slope, the cameras unrealistically glitch and buzz. Very unconvincing found footage. Did I mention the stupid microphone is overly sensitive and has to be the most annoying thing I ever heard. Sensitive like those podcasters that over spend money on microphones and sound equipment just for vocals or stupid asmr crap. Overall the movies was more annoyingly obnoxious thab boring. Watch it if you love listening to every grain of sand crunch underfeet and hearing eyes blink during a walking simulator and oh yeah aliens.

You know what i mean. Wading through countless hours of ff that, let's face it, if we didn't love the genre we would be singing the tune of these uninformed and unenlightened heathens giving this a 1.

But we aint them. Ok.

This is Extraterrestrial FF. Low budget of course but the pacing, the story, and concept are the bomb. This is the kind of movie that if you had a bigger budget would be meh.

But it so works as a found footage. I found myself constantly trying to figure out what's around the next corner. I am being vague because as you know FF is best served with no hype and no expectations. But do trust me on this. For any ff fan this is a must see before plowing back into the morass. I hope you enjoy. Because i sure did. I gave it a ff 8/10.

"Zone of Silence" feels like a campfire story. It's atmospheric. Kinda charming.

The negative reviews and ratings are... crazy. Some people don't like it, which is fine. It's those who hate it that confuse me.

This is a short low-budget alien sci-fi. As an alien sci-fi fan, I know how sparse the landscape is. We should be grateful anybody's bothering with the genre at all.

If you go into "Zone of Silence" expecting Hollywood, you'll be disappointed. If you expect crazy effects, you'll be disappointed. If you only like things that are part of the MCU, there's nothing for you here.

But if you're the kind of person who can enjoy imperfect films, it's lovely. It's *fun*. There's a touch of spooky to it.

I felt the isolation and the tension. I like the use of 47 cameras to capture the fear and running and shortness of breath.

At just over an hour, it asks little of the viewer. If you're angry enough at the end to write a one star review, then the problem is *you*.

It's okay to like things.

Just sit back, eat your popcorn, shut up, and watch the movie.

If you're going to make a Sci-Fi movie...think about your audience. We're geeks. If you're going to use a metal detector...research, get some advice and learn how to use it properly. That scene was ridiculous...ugh.

I don't understand the low score and bad reviews. This is a must for fans of the "found footage" genre. If you're looking for a scifi movie with truckloads of Hollywood special effects, this is not a film for you. The few special effects in the movie is impressive and does not ruin the FF feeling. I usually just read the reviews. But now I had to set the record straight. This is not a movie made for award shows. But it's a movie that will scare you. I promise you. Found footage fans, watch this and I think you'll agree with my score...

UFOs and Aliens seem to be a favorite subject for found footage movies, and for any genre effort to stand out from the crowd, it has to offer something others don't.

ALIENS: ZONE OF SILENCE offers a female protagonist who is not just eye candy but genuinely likable, going on a solitary trip in a real-life Mexican patch of desert called "Zona Del Silencio" (giving the movie its title) in search for her missing alien-hunting brother and his best friend. During her trip, she is assisted remotely by a hacker-type who helps her (and us) see what is going on through several cameras.

We see both footage of her and literal found footage of her brother, and it seems recklessness to the point of stupidity runs in the family. Still, despite this, we don't lose sympathy for her (unlike for her brother, at least a little) because we know she is driven by the love for her brother and not recklessness for its own sake.

That a single attractive woman would go on such a trip without any discernible self-defensive measures, how much equipment and gear she seems to be able to carry, and some of the decisions she makes along the way, all these seem quite unrealistic to me.

Also, the minimalist approach of putting most of the film on the shoulders of one actress is risky, but in the end it pays off because she is convincing. It also helps that the movie features gorgeous scenery shots and nice if understated special effects. The latter is not too surprising since the director has been involved in special effects of major Hollywood productions.

So, overall the movie managed to engage me despite the above issues.

The ending is sort of open-ended and we never see the actual aliens (clearly, anyway!), and this may turn some people off. But to me it was par for the course. Very few movies in this subgenre pull off a crisp "Alien Reveal" well (one that did, to the extent that its ending partially salvaged a flailing movie, is THE GRACEFIELD INCIDENTC(2017)), so going the "fuzzy" route is understandable.

Found Footage and UFO fans will probably like this, depending on how much they are willing to overlook the lack of realism in and minimalism of story.

Story line and cast were great actors did fairly well yet there are a few little things that really bother me. Now I my self if I was an alien hunter after gathering my gear together I myself know anytime we hear about aliens the first l things we always hear about when people are hunting aliens there car shuts down. So here is a pointer be sure to drive a vehicle that does not use a computer or minimal electronics, bring a bike, or better yet a dirt bike that kick starts so you don't have to worry about the electric issues.

If you are at base camp or nerve center and your suppose to be watching the cameras don't get distracted do not go and paint your house while people are investigating to see if the can find aliens. Not just because they are hunting aliens but because you never know what might happen to them i the dark in the middle of no where wild animals or just bad people that are out to do harm. Last of all of you are the investigator and you do not know the area you in never ever would you want to leave you only way of communication in your tent while you go scout the area around camp. Not that all being said I am still watching this film and so far I like most of it but we will see it is currently 7:30 p.m. July 16th 2023 and I'll add more to this momentarily.

7:45p.m. Let's walk of In desert and leave our tent open to the elements, nature and environment so anything can get inside of it. I wish that film makers, writers and/or directors would truly think about things when filming and make it actually realistic. Goose is not a good friend let's just ignore all proper observation techniques. I guess I just really think of how I would do it and I am the type to do my best to keep bad things from occurring because often our actions can reflect the outcome of situations. But I'll tell you it is actually really good film to watch so watch it and leave you opinion.
