Decent sci-fi flick, though one that's bogged down by an incredible pointless twist. For about 2/3th of its running, it's a fun and amusing alien invasion film, but then the tables turn and what follows is stupid. Young also lacks the hand of a true director, but with a little squinting it's still an okay film.
A nice but somewhat basic thriller. Director Ben Young made an effort with the soundtrack to make things a bit more stylized, and I think he did a pretty good job too, but it wasn't quite enough the lift the presentation to a higher level. And as such, this film struggled to be anything more than a solid thriller. The performances are good, the cinematography is decent, and the score is used well, but the premise is rather simplistic, and the plot doesn't go anywhere exciting. The kidnappers aren't excessively freaky, the violence isn't extra, and the few plot twists are more tedious than surprising. It's not a bad film, just not a memorable one.Read all
