Too much of everything

To me, this movie is perfection.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The biggest problem with this movie is that they didn't kill the two leads at the beginning of the movie instead of the end. It would have saved me, and all other viewers from a lot of bad acting and worse plot twists...

April (Brittany Allen) and Kyle (Freddie Stroma) and a group of friends go the isolate cabin in the woods and we already know it it aliens from the title and the opening Dr. Who scene. (It's been nearly a decade since I have seen a working pay phone.) They encounter some unfriendly Grays in a crashed space ship. They enlist the help of their crusty conspiracy minded neighbor (Michael Ironside) who provided us with perhaps the best scenes in the film and a bit of humor. Armed with glow sticks, Kush, the Second Amendment, and a Roman Candle our group goes to war. How did he get a sonar ping in his living room?The film plot was fine and outside of Michael Ironside, the film didn't bother to create characters worth watching, although it does make an effort. Anja Savcic who mentioned she met her boyfriend while having a panic attack in a nightclub, should of had a later scene to relate to that with an alien, but they didn't utilize the characters they created. Even with all the shooting and running around I grew bored. I really didn't care about April and Kyle.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Brittany Allen showing off butt in panties.

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...

I was at first totally uninterested in the film simply due to the way the teenagers acted. Typical modern day rich teens, all about alcohol, marijuana, sex and screaming for no reason. I will admit however that after about the halfway point, it tends to get a bit better. I do admit that the aliens themselves are genuinely terrifying, simply due to the fact that even in the film they have a strong Psychological influence over anyone they want to control. As another critic stated, the film seems to jump back and forth between an ordinary Science Fiction flick, to one of those "lost footage finally uncovered" films, because a good part of the film is shot from the perspective of one of the teens. The film leaves quite a few questions unanswered however, and the end is absolutely infuriating.
