You can't actually "watch" this movie while doing the house chores, fiddling with your phone, or co-watching other movies and series. This one demands your attention, and will make you lose track of the real message depicted behind the excellent "alien abduction" plot that hides an every day reality of our world. If you pay close attention to it, at the end of the movie you may have learned something important about modern society. All of it wrapped in an action-packed aspect of alien abduction. Kaytlin Dever sees herself in a difficult role, a speechless race against the unavoidable, and she delivers in scores. By using every single trick in the book of unspoken acting, her performance is clear and concise, perfectly showing what needs to be shown in every second. From the most subtle movement to the frantic heavy-breathing display of despair, she will make you feel each and every sensation running through her character. The rest of the cast, while only appearing briefly, do a very efficient job. The setting for this movie could not be better. Its focus is a small, almost rural town, one of those that seem to be beyond the reach of any harmful influences - be them from out of this world, or very close to us. Brian Duffields excellent direction shows the obliviousness of mundane life, and the way that everything can just go FUBAR when an outside threat decides to take charge. The balance between dense suspense and fast action delivers a breathtaking experience that will reward anyone that, once again, PAYS DUE ATTENTION to the movie - and that's why you'll see bad scores from those that can't focus for a second or two. In short: this movie is extremely recommended to those willing to spend some time watching a single screen, listening to a single movie, no distractions whatsoever. Not good for multitasking use. An incredibly rewarding experience, if you will submit to it.
