Nerdluster writes: Dark Skies is slow moving suspense movie with quick scares that shock the viewer. While it initially does a good job pondering what happens when a family unit is tested by hard times, it also attempts deeper questions. How does a family cope with inexplicable illnesses, out-of-body experiences, or loss of consciousness? What if your children are complaining about bad dreams and odd things are happening around the house? Ultimately what do you do when you walk in on a ghostly 8 foot tall figure who's standing over your son's bed?
