Dark Skies (2013) Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you
a science-fiction horror film: "Dark Skies"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
Living in a simple American township is a normal family of four. The father named Daddy,
is struggling to find a job, while the mother named Mommy, works part-time as
a real estate agent. Their older child is "Jesse", and their younger child is "Sam".
One afternoon, the Family is busy preparing their dinner. Sam is playing with his pet lizard,
while Jesse is hanging out with his older friend outside. Daddy feels that Jesse's
older friend is teaching him bad things. At night, Jesse reads a children's story to
Sam through their walkie-talkie. The story is about the sandman,
who is known for taking the eyes of children, and bringing them to the moon to feed their children.
After that, the family peacefully fell asleep. Later, in the middle of the night,
Mommy wakes up to check on her children. To her surprise, the foods in the kitchen are in a
complete mess on the floor; and the door is open. She immediately checks the surroundings outside,
thinking that there might be an intruder in their home, but she finds nothing.
The following day, while they eat breakfast, Daddy reminds everyone in the house to properly lock
their door. Before leaving, he asks his family to wish him luck. Later, he attends an interview for
a new job. But he leaves in disappointment as the company rejected his application. He seems
frustrated, since their bills keep coming, and he still does not have a job. Mommy asks him about
the job interview, and he lies that it went well. That night, Mommy checks all of the doors and
windows in their house, to ensure that everything is locked. She proceeds to sleep. later,
she wakes up to check their door again. It is still locked, but to her surprise, the things in
their kitchen are set in a geometrical structure. At the same time, there is a geometrical sign that
appears on the ceiling. Sam is also awake at that moment. He says he had a bad dream. Mommy
asks him if he knows who did the geometrical structure. Sam answers that the sandman did it.
He reveals that he dreams about the sandman. In his dream, he saw the sandman do it.
The next day, a police officer checks their house to investigate. The officer finds no sign of
forced entry, so he suggests that someone inside their house did the geometrical structure. He says
that one of the family's kids probably sleepwalked at night and did it. The police officer advises
them to turn on their security alarm and leaves. Later, Mommy introduces a client to a house that
she is trying to sell. The daughter of the client suddenly feels sick. Mommy shares that
Jesse always felt sick when he was a child. But as time goes by, Jesse gets better. Mommy feels
connected to the client, so she honestly tells the client that there is a better option for them.
Later at night, Daddy tells Mommy to cut back their cable consumption. There he
reveals that he failed to get the job. This frustrates Mommy since he lied to her.
In the middle of their sleep, the security alarm is activated, which instantly wakes them up. Daddy
immediately goes down to check their doors, and he finds them locked. He then answers the call from
the security alarm service provider. Strangely enough, the security alarm indicates that all
entry points are breached in their house. But Daddy finds every door and window locked. The
service provider then says the security alarm only malfunctions. After that, the couple find a
strange thing in their living room. Every photo of them is gone, making them wonder how it happened.
Morning comes, the police officer checks their house again, and there is no sign of
forced entry. The officer suspects that Jesse and Sam did it. The officer then
suggests to Daddy that he needs to talk to his children about it. The security alarm service
provider also checks the alarm, and they did not find any sign of an intruder last night.
Later, the couple ask their kids about the photos, and they say that they did not take them away.
Mommy asks Sam if the sandman has taken the photos away. Sam answers that the sandman told him not
to tell anyone. Upon hearing this, Daddy thinks that Sam hides the photos away, so he tries to
find them in his room. Mommy suggests that they put Sam in psychological therapy, thinking that
Sam is experiencing a mental problem. This frustrates Daddy, since they are struggling
financially. As he argues with Mommy, he feels that there is something itchy behind his ears.
After that, Daddy brings Sam outside to play with the other kids. There, Sam pees himself, and the
other kids make fun of him. Daddy tries to check on him. Sam seems to be staring at something,
and he suddenly releases a high-pitched scream. Back at their home, Mommy finds a drawing inside
Sam's room, which shows a tall guy holding a kid. She takes a look at the window,
and a bird suddenly crashes at their window. After a few seconds, hundreds of birds crash
into their house, leading to the birds' death. The scientists soon arrive at their house to
clean up the house. The lead scientist tells them that they will investigate the
strange deaths of birds in their house. After that, the couple ask Sam about
the park scenario. Sam says that he cannot remember anything about the events earlier.
Later at night, Mommy is checking the house, when she hears Sam uttering words. She checks his room,
and she sees a tall figure inside. She immediately opens the lights, and the figure is suddenly gone.
Daddy checks them, and they realize that Sam is missing. They immediately walk down,
and see Sam walking outside. Daddy grabs Sam, who appears to be in a hypnotic
state. He shakes up Sam, which makes Sam aware again. But Sam wonders why they are outside.
The situation soon settles down. Daddy washes his face, and he notices that
there are markings behind his ear. The next day, Jesse brings his friends
to the house that Mommy is trying to sell. There, The other girl kisses Jesse;
so when he goes back home, he feels good. The streetlight suddenly turns off, while he is
biking back home. He appears to be worried, as he keeps on checking the surroundings.
That night, the couple set up a camera throughout their house, to see if there was an intruder.
The next day, Daddy checks the footage of their house. He finds certain parts where
the camera malfunctions, preventing him from seeing the whole footage earlier.
Meanwhile, Mommy meets another client, and she introduces them to the house she is trying to
sell. The client appears to be convinced to buy the house, when Mommy suddenly breaks
down. She cannot utter a word, and she stares at nowhere. As she appears to be
in a hypnotic state, she slowly walks forward, and repeatedly bangs her head on the door.
Mommy eventually wakes up, and she receives a call from his angry boss,
telling her to take a break for a while. Then she receives a call from the scientist,
who reveals that the flock of birds to their house came from three different directions.
The scientist says that there might be something drawing the birds to their house. She searches
for information on the internet, and finds a blog that talks about aliens. There she sees an image
that appears to be similar to the geometric shape she found in their ceiling recently.
At night, Mommy dreams that her husband gets a job, and they celebrate the moment. She then
wakes up, only to find Daddy is gone from their bed. She goes down to check, and she sees Daddy
outside. He appears to be in a hypnotic state as he stares at nowhere. Daddy's mouth is wide open,
while blood drops out of his nose. He then hypnotically walks back inside their house.
Later, Daddy gets back to himself, and he is now aware. They check the footage where they see him
walking from his sleep. He says that he cannot remember himself walking outside. Mommy shares
with him that she also experiences the same earlier. She then shows her research to him,
indicating that the strange things they experienced are signs that aliens are
visiting their house. She also shows the drawing of a missing kid, which appears to be similar
to Sam's drawing. However, Daddy refuses to believe her, thinking aliens are bullshit.
The following day, Sam goes swimming, and Mommy's friend finds marks throughout his body.
Meanwhile, Jesse is playing with his older friend in the woods, when he hears the high-pitched
sound. Out of nowhere, he acts like he's being possessed by something before he blackouts.
At the hospital, the doctor reveals that Jesse's blackout is caused by emotional
trauma. He also says there are markings on Jesse's body that have geometrical shapes.
The doctor then believes the markings have been deliberately put on Jesse's body.
Later, Daddy beats the shit out of Jesse's older friend, believing
that he puts the marks on Jesse's body. The friend brings Sam back to his mother,
and the friend believes that his father might be hurting him. Mommy insists that the aliens
are responsible for the strange events, but Daddy still refuses to believe it.
At night, Daddy checks Sam, and he finds Sam wakes up without eyes. Daddy then wakes up, and it turns
out, it is only a dream. He checks the footage once again, and he finds cameras malfunctioning
again. He then slows down the footage, and manages to see tall figures roaming around their house.
He goes back to bed, where he tells the wife about the moment when Jesse was born.
He recalls that Jesse was so sick after he was born, and the doctors could not figure it out.
In the morning, Daddy finally joins Mommy in consulting the alien expert who claims to have
knowledge about the aliens. The expert initially reveals that the dogs sense the aliens' smelly
shit, making them bark when the aliens are around. The expert says that the aliens called the "grays"
are the ones who are visiting them. The expert asks them a series of questions to determine
if they are encountering grays. After that, they figure out that their strange experiences recently
are a sign that the grays chose them. Apparently, there are a lot of people who have already been
visited by the grays. The expert also reveals that the mark on Daddy's ear is implanted by the alien,
allowing them to control him. It turns out, the expert also has a mark behind the ear. Finally,
the expert warns them that the grays are already watching them for a long time, and the revelations
of the grays are a sign that they are about to abduct someone in their family. It turns out,
the member who made first contact with the grays is the chosen one to be abducted. The
couple then immediately think that the grays already chose Sam. The expert then advises
them to make it difficult for the grays to take their son away, so the grays will decide
to move to another family. The expert also says that there are cases where the abducted
person manages to get back. As a final piece of advice, the expert tells Daddy that the most
important thing is to keep his family unified. The couple leave the expert's place, and they
prepare a defense for the alien's arrival. So they get a gun and an aggressive dog to protect
themselves. They also shut the windows around their house. Jesse arrives, and he gets frustrated
with his father's actions. Apparently, Jesse is disappointed with his father for beating up his
older friend. Jesse walks out and talks to his friend, who wonders why they are shutting their
windows. Jesse shares that he knows the reason for it, but he refuses to say it, since people
might believe that they are crazy people. But his friend assures him that his father is not crazy.
Later, Jesse goes back home, and he asks his dad if there is something coming to
their house. Daddy affirms, but he assures Jesse that they will protect Jesse and Sam.
He also tells Jesse to always keep sight of Sam. That night, the family happily talks about their
happy memories together. Out of nowhere, the television begins to blur out. The dog also
begins barking, signaling to them that the grays are coming. As the lights blink around, Mommy
brings Jesse and Sam inside the bedroom. Daddy immediately grabs the gun and waits at the door.
The lights turn off, and a bright light flashes from the outside. Meanwhile, Mommy is holding
a knife to protect the kids upstairs. There, a gray alien appears behind her. She roams around
the other room, and the door suddenly closes. As she gets trapped, she screams to ask for help.
Downstairs, the door slowly opens, and a bright light flashes throughout the house. As the door
completely opens, Daddy shoots the gun. After that, he gets Jesse and Sam from the room. He
then opens up the room to help his wife. There the family gets reunited, and they lock shut
the door in an attempt to keep themselves safe. They hear loud knocks; and after a few moments,
the gray aliens appear around them. Daddy shoots at them. The scene then moves where Jesse is alone
in the room. He walks downstairs, trying to search for Sam. But as he walks down, the surroundings
suddenly shift into the other house. He goes outside the room, where he finds his dad holding
a gun, and his mom appearing to be dead from a gunshot. Daddy shoots himself in front of Jesse,
prompting him to walk back. Jesse finds Sam on the other side. He then chases Sam after Sam runs
along the hallway. he finds Sam sitting on the floor, and he approaches Sam. But as he gets near
Sam, the surroundings shift back to their house. It turns out, Jesse is just hallucinating, and now
he is back to the situation where the aliens are attacking them. He looks back, and finds
himself separated from the rest of his family. The gray alien then manages to abduct him.
The movie ends when the family moves to another house, as they move on from Jesse's disappearance.
As Mommy checks Jesse's childhood stuff, she finds a drawing of alien abduction. This hints to her
that Jesse made the first contact with the gray aliens. she realizes that Jesse's sickness, along
with the drawings, is the sign that he was the original target of the gray aliens. In the end,
Sam receives a call from his radio, and it turns out that it's coming from Jesse.
