This film looks good. Largely filmed in the wilderness it's nice enough to look at. When the aliens arrive the ship hangs in the sky like an updated V. The advertising for the film focused on these impressive images which is what caught my eye.
Being positive, the idea is ok, the acting is ok, and the sfx and makeup is ok.
BUT it is just so dull. After a promising first 15 minutes it loses all its steam.
First up, this is really a zombie film and not aliens. The afore mentioned ship in the sky scene is as close to aliens as it gets.
Very little happens and what does happen makes little sense. Think a very long uneventful episode of The Walking Dead.
By the ending I had really lost all interest and any understanding of what was going on. In the closing scenes I couldn't tell if there was even a conclusion.
In a quality bit of writing, a full on argument about not using a flare as it would give away their location is followed seconds later with them all carrying flaming torches.
