Full Plot Details

The Barrett family-mother Lacy, father Daniel, older son Jesse, and younger son Sammy-reside on a quiet suburban street in an unnamed American city. Daniel is currently unemployed, placing the burden of supporting the family on Lacy, who works as a real estate agent. Their two sons enjoy a happy relationship and communicate with each other from their beds via walk-talkie. A number of strange occurrences befall the family. During the night, the contents of the kitchen are rearranged in bizarre configurations. The house alarm is set off when it detects that all entry points were breached simultaneously. Sammy suffers a fit while playing soccer and Lacy is shocked when hundreds of birds suddenly crash into the house. One night, Lacy is awakened by a sound from Sammy's room. When she goes to check on him, through the darkness she sees a figure standing over his bed. She turns on the light to find an empty room. Sammy is found walking away from the house but cannot remember leaving. Lacy, Daniel and Jesse each suffer catatonic episodes and regain consciousness with no memory of their experiences.

Movie Reviews

TheHorrorShow - 9/10 by Scott WeinbergWorks perfectly well as a turn-off-the-lights (and be-willing-to-play-along) piece of sci-fi-sprinkled horror amusement.
Collider - 9/10 by Dave TrumboreThere's a definite bittersweet tone to the end of Dark Skies and it's a bold departure from the endings from such films as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Poltergeist or even Signs, but Stewart didn't quite bring it all the way home.
CraveOnline - 8/10 by William BibbianiFilters the fantastic through the mundane, and finds horror on both sides of the sieve... I could have been more entertained, but I respect it.
Movie Talk - 8/10 by Jason BestWhen writer-director Scott Stewart eventually reveals his hand, the film loses its way, but Hamilton and Russell's solidly convincing performances keep things more grounded than you might expect.
Film Freak Central - 8/10 by Bill ChambersThe movie promises fireworks--and it delivers.
National Post - 8/10 by Vanessa FarquharsonDark Skies has almost nothing to do with dark skies but it is a quietly effective little horror movie, with an exceptional cast and a couple of decent scares.
Film.com - 8/10 by Stephanie ZacharekDark Skies is about the fragility of family, a muted meditation on how precious it is...it does affirm that genre filmmakers who work with their eyes, their hearts and their brains still walk among us.
TheFilmFile.com - 8/10 by Dustin PutmanAn intensely evocative, absolutely spine-tingling thriller that paints an empathetic portrait of realistically strained modern-day suburban domesticity before little by little introducing a rasping pall of doom.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)"Insidious" seemed to me to be trying too hard with its frequent loud noises and sudden appearances, but the hushed quality of "Dark Skies" makes it seem almost like the movie is reluctant to share with us the unsettling things it must share.
HeyUGuys - 7/10 by Stefan PapeDark Skies is a good story, well told and one that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
