Dark Skies Ratings & Reviews

    Slow. Unoriginal. The cast were working hard with a weak story.
  • tazzmainin2016April 6, 2025
    Things like this actually happen in the real world people get abducted by aliens all the time strange things happen that we can't explain so people cover up the truth because they don't want the rest of the world to know what's going on because they are afraid of the unknown. So they keep it from us.

    Would have liked a part 2 to this. The story feels unfinished.
  • nunyabiznes322February 7, 2026
    Bought this movie for my son yrs ago. Loved it then, love it now. Definitely a must see. Suspenseful drama w/ great acting all around.

    Excellent flick, but all the GODDAMN 130sec commercial breaks every 10mins from Plex about horse drugs was MADDENING AS HELL. Amazing storyline that hooks you from the beginning though.

    Not bad.
  • ZokkiieDecember 29, 2025
    It gets points for creepy moments and a slow-building sense of dread, but it leans a little too heavily on familiar alien horror tropes. The family drama adds some depth, but overall it feels a bit predictable. Solid for a spooky night in, but nothing groundbreaking
  • Nicholas FlorioOctober 31, 2025
    Creepy, freaky. I believe this kind of thing happens, though. The ending left something to be desired, but a good movie. If you don't mind being scared out of your wits.
  • Blackhawk HostingNovember 30, 2025
    Surprisingly better than expected. Some cliches here and there, but worth the watch.
  • Lindsay DunlapNovember 12, 2025
    I really liked it.
  • Philippe KolaczynskiOctober 12, 2025
    Good jump scare movie.
  • Casper HørningJanuary 25, 2025
    Very nice, I like the actors and the good sense of sci-fi thriller.
