The director does just fine with the tools that he has to work with. It is not exactly a classic, but it is pretty damned entertaining.

Rated: 7.5/10

I often enjoy independent films and I love a good alien movie, but this wasn't for me. The audio is a huge issue as the music supersceeded the talking. The voice of the alien was very difficult to understand and was unoriginal. Most of the movie is spent with characters watching the news or looking at computer and or phone screens. There is little to no character development to make you care about the characters. Uninteresting locations that made it feel like your basically watching strangers try and get out of a boring escape room.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Slow to build, and typically asinine unnatural behavior from characters common in these types of movies. I wanted to punch the victims in the throat and cheered when they were slaughtered by the alien being. I was far more pissed I wasted an hour and a half than frightened or intrigued by this steaming pile.

Here's the thing. The story is decent. The acting is ok but here is the problem: Whoever mixed the sound did an awful job. I shouldn't need to put on cc because the freaking sound track is louder than the dialogue. The scene where she is watching her dad's vlog - the audio is too low too. C'mon people, it's the fine details between mediocrity and excellence.

I liked the movie, but I wasnt expecting an Oscar performance. People's expectations are way. ×too high, for everything. Acting Qwas well done, storyline & plot were great. The conclusion was too short. Otherwise, it was entertaining.
