Big fun. Dark Skies is a terrific thriller about children in peril and strange events in the midst of ordinary suburban life.
Russell and Josh Hamilton play the parents of a mildly rebellious teen (Canada's Dakota Goyo) and a younger son who appears to have made contact with ... something. J.K. Simmons is also in the cast, always a good sign.
