Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
GREY SKIES was an unwise attempt at a science fiction thriller made by a group of amateur film-makers in Michigan. They shouldn't have bothered, because this alien abduction story is excruciatingly bad, and quite embarrassing to sit through.The story is about a group of dull characters who hole up at a remote house in the woods and soon find themselves assailed by weird stuff going on. We're stuck with an hour of bad actors wandering around in the woods and occasionally screaming before the plot hits properly, but the budget is so limited that there are very few special effects and just lots of bright lights.The acting is truly of a terrible standard and the plot events that play out are completely routine. In fact, there's nothing here at all to keep an audience engaged, so I can only recommend that viewers avoid it like the plague.
I saw that this movie had only one good review. So, I wanted to know if that one person was a wacko, or not. Anyway, the movie was not as bad as the other reviews said it was. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't great! The characters are pretty flat, and the drama they tried to build with personal relationships didn't really work. That being said, there was a little creepiness as long as they weren't showing you anything. Then, they pulled an "Insidious" and showed you too much with regards to the alien abductions and the experimentations. And provided a bad ending, to boot. All in all, if you have no other movies to watch, you could do a lot worse.
Occasionally B graders surprise me and deliver a good flick in spite of a low budget and lesser known stars but not in this case. This movie blows and it blows hard. The plot is thin at the very best, the characters are weak and not likable. The special effects reflect the low budget and the repeated use of an annoying bug sound took away any real credibility to induce suspense the sound may have had. This one was a total waste of 90 min I'm never getting back... The idea behind the movie was alright but the execution was lacking and the story really needed to be fleshed out more and the relationship between the 2 leads was lacklustre and the (on going) fight/relationship issues between the pair were really not necessary to the story. More game play with shadows and music and a much stronger cast could have gone a long way here.
But first, face it, clowns are scary, so a paper one could have an impact on someone who's not that familiarized with horror right? Or if you're 12 years old.Anyway, it's not a bad movie, acting was OK, nice characters, but it lacks any kind of jump scares even the simple thrills are completely missing. Not a curios fact that no one ever commented on this movie, it's as underground as a horror could get to be honest.I actually can't find a single reason to recommend it, again, it is NOT bad, but it's just dull, so so, dull. Final idea, avoid it, go play with your mouse cursor, much more fun trust me.
