Awesome, scary movie!

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2002)

I absolutely loved this movie! It is full of suspense and surprises and kept me on the edge of my seat until the credits rolled. The brief glimpes of "something" kept me wondering what was around the next corner. **The less you know about this movie going in the better.**
This movie is nothing like Independance Day where the aliens are killing everything in sight. The snippits of information we do receive about the crop circles and the possibility of aliens are thru brief news clips on TV and rumors from town folk. Exactly like it would be if you were home alone. That kept the fear of the unknown that much higher. Not knowing what you are up against is often scarier than anything.
I was also surprised how funny this movie was. The mixture of suspense and humor made it all the more fun to watch. The music was superb as well.
Lastly, my only complaint of the movie was a distracting dialogue (during an extremely suspenseful scene) and the inability of the characters to stock up on weapons of some sort. This did not hurt my opinion of the movie much though.
I give this movie a 9 out of 10 and declare it my favorite movie of the summer.
