Dark Skies UK release date and trailer

Keri Russell Dark SkiesDark Skies is the latest horror film from Jason Blum, producer of the Paranormal Activity films, and from the look of the trailer it could be another hit for the suspense tingler. Moving into sci-fi territory, it looks like the new movie will take the scarier aspects of its paranormal predecessors and add an extra terrestrial slant into the mix. It’s got a UK release date of the 4th April 2013, so it’ll be one of the must see films for horror and thriller fans during the Easter break.

The storyline picks up with a normal suburban family in the states. However, when things start to go bump in the night with cans of food and kitchen utensils piled high inexplicably and their young child Bobby (Jake Brennan) talking about the sandman coming to his room they begin to suspect that they’re the latest target from an unstoppable unknown presence that will come for their family.

Starring Keri Russel as mom Lacy and Josh Hamilton as dad Daniel, Dark Skies sees the couple trying to come to terms with the sudden invasion into their lives and their struggle to stop what they are told is unstoppable.

One of the scariest aspects of the trailer is when Lacy finds Daniel out in the garden at night. It’s got shades of the end scene from The Blair Witch Project with Daniel’s face contorted in shock and horror at what he’s seen. There’s also the freaky scene where Lacy is uncontrollably headbutting a glass window, which is pretty chilling to watch, and a brief glimpse of their shadowy alien attackers.

Think Paranormal Activity meets Signs and you’re not too far from what’s at the heart of Dark Skies. Other than the alien apparition, there’s no real connection to the UFO conspiracy TV series of the same name.
