Skyman

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.

Low budget production with second rate acting pawned off as a documentary. 90 minutes I cannot get back.

You know.....you know. Dude can not talk with out saying you know...you know...ugh!!!!

It bothered me that two owls just sat there... I grew up in the woods. Then I noticed if you look close in a shot you can see a leather strap around an owls leg securing it down. Kinda took me out of what little story I was trying to let myself get into.
