But I have an absolutely opposite feelings towards this film , even though , I have given it 7 stars , probably , more positive than otherwise ... Firstly : absolutely terrific acting , main character portrayal is just plain brilliant , effects and action are superb , story is consisting in many parts of many films before , but up to the end , done pretty good . My problem is the ending ... the film itself was almost brutal , the ending should have been like a punch in a face , kinda like the "Mist" , instead we got overly philosophical and empty resolution... Anyhow , in comparison with many modern films , it is by far not the worst. Decent one time watch .

If you're a fan of those movies, you might like this. Just don't expect to have everything wrapped up in a bow at the end. You're going to have to use your imagination.

A beatnik girl battles aliens and her own personal demons. This movie starts fast and keeps it up until the end. No time wasted on back story, dialogue, or technobabble. You have to remember she's just a girl not an Avenger or Wonder Woman although she manages to give a good account of herself. The effects are great and it's tense yet exciting. I don't consider the movie to be full of jump scares, it's just tension packed. It's definitely not for everyone. If you go into it expecting Alien or Independence Day even, you'll be disappointed. I think M. Night fans will be most satisfied with this.

This a an unconventional alien picture which delivers an epic of its own. The beginning seems to borrow a presentation from Tim Burton films, with the lead actress showing some Home Alone resourcefulness, while tying to sum it all up with a Twilight Zone like moral ending. Is it exactly like any them I mentioned? No. It just sprinkles enough of those ingredients from them that makes this a good film to watch. The aliens bring enough intensity and intimidation to satisfy a belief which matches what the lead character meets. There's good suspense, moving action, and the right eeriness that you're not predicting what is going to happen next. It's a strong 7 for me on this film. The only reason my score isn't higher is because of what the director chosen for its ending. I just thought the conclusion of the story could have been written differently because of how well this version told of an alien story was crafted, as well as the encounters that the protagonist had with the aliens she faced. If you enjoy alien films or sci-fi, this is one you can alternatively add it to those types of films.

But it's a lot better than many movies out right now and I really liked it. Think Close Encounters crossed with Communion with a dash of 2001 and some interstellar thrown in to boot. Plus it has its own originality. It looks great and moves along at a lovely pace. Kaitlyn Dever carries the movie and does it exceptionally well - its a fine perormance by an actress that will grow and grow and I can see her with a Streep like status in a few decades time - you can see it in her face. To the reviewer who skipped through it and claims there is "not one line" of dialogue... well, that's what you get for skipping.... My one criticism is I didn't really get the ending, as well done as it was, but that may just be me. I have thoughts on it but hopefully some other reviewer will clarify. This would be best seen on a big screen but regardless of where you see it, I think you will enjoy it and find the 90 minutes flies by. It also stays in your head afterwards which I always think is the mark of a good film. Enjoy.

This film pleasantly surprised me. It was chilling and compelling as the story rolled out and I loved the balance of good acting by Kaitlyn Dever and well executed and restrained special effects. All of which was even more impressive since there was barely a word spoken during the whole film, yet a complex plot and a rich character still shone through.

The last scene was a bit twee for me, and I felt it could have been better executed, but I got what they wanted to say with it, so it didn't let the rest of the film down.

This film will appeal to horror and science fiction fans but it's got the legs to capture the attention of a wider audience, too.
