Blumhouse Productions, the company behind the Paranormal Activity series, Insidious and Sinister takes a turn away from demonic possession and ghost stories, but keeps the haunted family dynamic in writer/director Scott Stewart’s Dark Skies.  The psychological thriller focuses on the Barrett family, whose peaceful suburban home begins to play host to strange and terrifying events that seem to only be happening to them.  While Dark Skies would have benefited from more secretive marketing that would keep the force behind these events an actual mystery, there are still some tense moments and disturbing scares to be found.  The most interesting facet of the film is not the external menace, but the unexpected subtext of the growing pains of adolescence.  Hit the jump for my review.

A trailer for the sci-fi thriller Dark Skies has just been released.  The movie centers on a family who become the victims of disturbing supernatural events that wreak havoc on their bodies and minds.  The trailer bills itself as being from the producers of Paranormal Activity and Insidious, and these producers force us to ask: “Is any suburban, middle-class home truly safe?”  Even though I hadn’t been paying much attention to this movie, it looks like there’s some genuinely creepy stuff in this flick, and it would almost keep me guessing if the malevolent force was ghosts or aliens if the title hadn’t given it away.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film stars Keri Russell, Josh Hamilton, Dakota Goyo, Kadan Rockett, and J.K. Simmons.  Dark Skies opens February 22, 2013.
