Aliens: Zone of Silence

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
