Subtle and terrifying in places

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2014)

OK so I had no idea what this was about, I assumed it was just going to be a film about crop circles.
So it dawned on me this was an alien invasion flick, little did I realise that NOT clearly showing the creature, until the end made it very bloody creepy. The first time it was fully viewed in a reflection on the TV screen (ie hinted at) scared the s.h.i.t out of me. Also sounds of them running around the house trying to get in were really very hair raising.
Brilliant special effects, wonderful score and terror begat of the viewer's imagination.
Great acting from Gibson, Phoenix and especially the two children.
