Overview

From the producers of Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister comes Dark Skies: a supernatural thriller that follows a young family living in the suburbs. As husband and wife Daniel and Lacey Barret witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, their safe and peaceful home quickly unravels. When it becomes clear that the Barret family is being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying and deadly force, Daniel and Lacey take matters in their own hands to solve the mystery of what is after their family.

Time and again, Stewart squanders the opportunity to do anything remotely interesting or worthwhile ...

Tom Huddleston, Time Out

There's little to fear from this rather tame genre outing.

Dark Skies is sort of supernatural, but it's really more super natural....[it's] about the fragility of family, a muted meditation on how precious it is.

Stewart has some lofty ambitions, some of which he almost fulfills.

Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice

Those elements are employed with consummate dexterity.
