Aliens: Zone of Silence

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.

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!

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.

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..
