Anyone who finds themselves a particular fan of horror and more so Wes Craven, will find this film quite good.

I went to the theaters to see this and the entire theater was on the edge of their seats as was I. The plot sounded a little silly and one that has been done one too many times so I was very skeptical of this movie when I saw the trailers. I’m not big on these alien invasion movies. I like E.T. and Fire in the Sky and that’s it. Anyways, I figured what the hell I’ll check it out and I wasn’t disappointed at all. It was like watching a really intense episode of Unsolved Mysteries. From the scene that has “something” scuttling through the cornfields all the… |
