You know you have really scraped past the bottom of the barrel when you are actually going through youtube's list of free movies... even more strange is when you actually find something worth watching.
Dark Skies is a suspense/horror movie about a typical middle class family that suddenly find their home invaded by some malicious force or entity. Things start out slow with the odd events here and there but gradually builds up to something malicious as their youngest is revealed to be in contact with something known as the Sandman.
This is a very typical haunted house movie that shares similarities to "The Poltergeist" and "The Conjuring" movies. Besides a slight twist at the end it doesn't quite do anything new or different but most of it is done well enough with decent production quality and acting. It's a slow burn with minimal use of special effects and CGI till the very end and is quite effective in raising the intensity as it never truly reveals the monster. The biggest gripe I have against this movie is that I am a decade late and there have been plenty other movies that have done similar story tropes to death and over with mixed results. That being said I was rather surprised to actually find it even remotely interesting to watch and enjoy so that's somewhat of a feat in this day and age.
