Either 95% good or 95% bad, depending...

Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2016)

If you wanted an alien invasion movie, you probably hated this movie until the last 10 minutes. If you wanted a Panic Room style thriller, you probably liked most of it but thought the ending was ruined. I actually thought it was good up until the last 10 minutes. You don't know whether Goodman was just a crazed captor or he was telling the truth. Hints of him abducting another woman before. Is he lying? Did he somehow poison his neighbor and that explains the "diseased woman" outside the door? Will Michelle escape and find Ben and others looking for her (and there was no attack) and Goodman was just a nut in a bunker? I would have preferred that ending.
Instead of a plausible ending that is an eyebrow raiser, we get 10 (or maybe 5) minutes of alien invasion scenes, Michelle blowing up an alien craft with a bottle of hooch, getting sprayed by chemicals and somehow an improperly sealed (and not always worn) helmet with water bottle filters protects her. To me, it just felt like it was a thriller up until the last 10 minutes and then they decided to morph it into a cheesy alien flick to get an ending.
Get creative Hollywood! Could have been a remote farm town and after some weeks (months) not hearing from some residents, they check into it and it turns out Goodman had taken his crop duster and poisoned his neighbors. Michelle could have even been greeted by people in hazmat suits, making Goodman's story look plausible at first, until the authorities tell Michelle that the area was contaminated and it took some time for them to get in and do a thorough search on the ground (when they found her). Then the whole movie is explained by a crazy doomsday prepper who captured two people and staged his own "doomsday". Anything would have been better than the alien ending!
