A "horror" movie that was actually scary....

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2002)

yeah, it was kind of a rip off of other space/alien/ufo movies, but
this movie genuinely scared me. Even nearly a decade of "The X
Files" did not prepare me for this movie... the silence, the sound, the light, the darkness the awesome, spine
tingling score... everything balanced out perfectly to bring all my
darkest fears to the surface. And no, I'm not necessarily afraid of
little green men and UFO's, but this movie played so well on the
fear of the unknown. I was psychologically terrified. When the alien popped out from behind the tree at the Mexican
Birthday Party, my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. When
Mel Gibson was hearing sounds all around him in the field, I
looked all around to make sure nothing was behind me. I was literally afraid throughout this movie. And a lot of "horror"
movies are just gore fests with bizarre looking puppets and knives
and chainsaws. But, not this. Watch it... I was even more scared
during this than I was "The Exorcist" the so-called "scariest movie
of all time." Enjoy!
