It's a pretty darn well made documentary but, sadly amidst allegations of Dr. Greer being labeled a fraud over some incident involving flares, my heart has sunk... I thought he was one of the good ones. It does make sense though, despite the respect I have for the hard work and effort he's put into the Disclosure project, I cant help but sigh and roll my eyes at his claims of making UFOs appear from willing them forth with his mind (how impressive!). I'm sorry, but I can only suspend my disbelief up to a certain point. I'm still a 100% believer in the existence of aliens and UFO's visiting earth, but I am unfortunately an abysmal 10% believer in Dr. Steven Greer. And it is for everything I have stated above that I cant in good conscience give this albeit, well made documentary a score higher than a 6. It was entertaining at least.

The only sin this film committed was not being a full fledged horror film... which really wasnt the writer/directors fault. The advertisement campaign for this film was very misleading and anyone, myself included who watched one of the trailers for this film before it came out would have it pegged for a twisted, bloody supernatural spookiest. It was not. But what it was, was actually quite good. A very taught human drama playing out in the isolated woods with the backdrop of a deadly pandemic sweeping through the countryside. It's not a horror film, it's an allegorical psychological thriller heavy on atmosphere.

Not for everyone, but it worked for me and I hope in time it really finds its audience. This film deserves at the very least a 7 on this site. Anything lower is criminal. Looking back on it, maybe they could have picked a better title but hey.

I am honestly shocked by the 6.7 rating. I gave this movie a ten as more of a statement, anything less than an 8 is criminal.

This movie achieved everything it set out to do. You can see the inspiration of Hitchock and I think he would be proud. The mood, atmosphere, cinematography, acting, directing, writing, everyone did their job and then some with this film. The pacing is pretty much flawless. A+ on suspense.

In a nutshell this movie delivered. Bigger philosophical themes in an alien invasion film centered on one families experience. Faith being tested in an unusually strange and difficult trial and overcoming. I love it and I dont even believe in god! Some day people will give this beautiful movie the respect it deserves. I mean what, did it get docked points for starring the controversial Mel Gibson?? I dont get it. This movie is so good I'm honestly baffled by this score.
