Night Skies (2007)
2/10
Truly Silly

Warning: Spoilers
I guess you could say "fact-based" alien abduction flicks are a guilty pleasure for me. That being said. . .The story opens slowly, and with little of substance to keep viewers interested, unless those viewers are closet voyeurs, that is. Lots of cleavage shots and adolescent sexual references.

There's a knife injury that's overtly telegraphed, and is as unrealistic as the rest of this tale.

The alien visitors are able to travel across who-knows-how-many galaxies and cover an equally indeterminant number of light years to get to Middle of Nowhere, yet we are asked to believe a wooden table against a cabin door will keep them out. Okay.

Then we are asked to accept that they are able to perform ultrasounds and/or 3D medical scans with their naked eyes and perform "surgery" with their bare hands, all while their human subjects are suspend with what looks an awful lot like snot-covered silly string. The movie closed with those end-credit explanations that, I suppose, help to lend credibility.

Although The Arizona Lights were/are a documented phenomenon, this little picture did a really poor job of telling the stories of the individuals who witnessed them.
