The Best PG-13 Sci-fi/Horror Film in Years

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2008)

Let's be totally honest here... PG-13 horror movies absolutely suck with very few exceptions. The characters are annoying and unlikable, the acting is usually bad, and the suspense is terrible. I think this is all due to toning these films down so that they're acceptable for a wider age range, but it's still a pain. This movie goes against that rule fully and completely.
I loved so much about this film. The POV cam gave it that real feeling, kind of like watching a home movie of a UFO landing or something like that. The story is simple but it has a right to be as this is only documenting a group of people trying to survive these attacks. I only have one complaint about this film and it's the acting, it was very rough at times and completely unbelievable but the rest of the film made up for it. I will definitely being seeing this again.
Anyone who is a fan of films like Gojira and The Host or The Blair Witch Project and Behind the Mask will find a place for this film somewhere in their heart. See it on the big screen!
