Daxxtr I'm a highly skeptical horror and science fiction fan (as two separate genres). I've seen a ton of them and a shockingly high proportion of them are utter failures and disappointments. So I went in with the lowest expectations. And by god it did not fail me. This was by no means the worst film I've seen but it was one of the biggest MEHs.At the beginning it was average until the sheriff asks the girl "who did this to you?" and she answers "who do you think!" Then there was the point when Lex gets out of the car and just stands there when all her horrified friends are screaming for her to save herself and get back in the car. From then on it was nothing more than a horrific nosedive straight down.I'm not going to go into the bad acting, plot holes, horrible dialogue, etc. There are enough reviews on here doing that. But what I will say is this: unless you are one of those movie-goers with a voracious appetite for everything sci-fi/horror, or both regardless of whether it's good or bad, take a hard pass on this on this one. There are other films out there worthy of your time and money.

prisoner-7 I really wanted to enjoy this movie but the level of ridiculousness was over the top and the movie just couldn't gain its footing. From characters not breaking windows to get into places when running for their lives, to believing that boarding up windows will stop aliens from outer space, to using flashlights in the dark when trying to hide from aliens. I really could make a nearly endless list for this movie; it was almost impressive. This movie left me more frustrated than scared... sigh...

tallmike-22-826360 Best movie I ever saw, got better as it went on. Watch through the credits. The hats nod to the x files smoking man was my favorite part! If you need a movie to be serious or make sense this is not for you! If you are guilty of watching the syfy channel movie special when everyone else is asleep then it is a must see! Not know what this flick was I went from "what is this crap" to "OMG did that just really happen?". All stops get pulled! I don't want to spoil it to much but from this review I think those who want to see it should know it is worth their time and those that don't appreciate this type of film (no hate, we all have different tastes) know to stay away! But without a doubt this is the guilty 2am McDonalds cheeseburger combo extra large of movies!

blackmamba99971 Though this film reminds me of Fire in the Sky on certain levels it did however manage to capture an essence not found in modern day abduction genres. Extraterrestrial is about a group of young folks who take to a cabin in the woods for a small holiday so Kyle can propose to his girlfriend except now as he is turned down a mysterious fire ball streaks across the night skies and crashes. Up to investigate the group finds the site only to learn it is an alien craft but without a crew. Soon grotesque killings start along with abductions which dwindles the group's size to just two survivors.I like how it ended. Though Kyle, and his girlfriend do get put back alive, and well... the idea that the aliens dropped them off near a military command post said that if they cannot kill them by their own means then it could be done by masked soldiers who cleaned up the site in order to cover up the incident, which included killing both Kyle, and his fiancée. Buried along with evidence no one would ever guess that a night in the woods would never happen at all. Michael Ironside who played Travis the ex-marine from Vietnam was a nice edition as the pot growing paranoid freak who lived in the very same woods. It stood to reason that it was the governments fault all along, and that an arrangement had to made in order for technology to be bartered just to extend the agenda for those in absolute power.It had moments of fright, visceral torture of Seth who only wanted to go home, and seeing inside of the alien craft that made me think that there are those who travel among the stars that do not see it as we do. Extraterrestrial is a statement which says... Not all aliens are friendly, that our existence is remnant of just cattle, and the owners are the US government along with their off world cohorts. The music was a nice touch with gritty songs of sorrow and sadness. All in all a nice flavoured movie all round.
