Back in the late 90s, I remember a TV Show called Dark Skies starring J.T. Walsh and Eric Close, that featured spider-like creatures that came out of people’s mouths and basically then recruited them into their Alien ways. I’ve got a feeling that this in a similar ‘evil’ Alien vein for the film DARK SKIES, that’s arrived via the found footage souls of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and the the surprisingly impressive INSIDIOUS.
This outing is written and directed by Scott Charles Stewart, the man who directed the quite ridiculous LEGION, but saying that, I bloody loved it. Now we’ve got an eerie viral website for you to enjoy with the opening slogan “Once you’ve been chosen, you belong to them“, so naturally…I’m about to sign up at Youhavebeenchosen.org but, will you?
