Dark Skies (2013)

''Two possibilities exist...
  Either we are alone in the universe... or we are not
  Both are equally terrifying'' - Arthur C. Clarke

Movie begins with a quote above.
Family is having a pleasant dinner which after they go to bed. In the middle of the night mother wakes up and find all the food on the floor in front of refrigerator and the back door of a house open. Two brothers is talking with a walkie talkie about a creature sandman from the moon which is kinda lame name for an alien. Next night mother wakes up also and find fascinating structure made of food with some lights creating a symbols on the ceiling. Back door was locked this time. Little boy woke up and said that sandman did it. They called a cops next day and they didnt find anything unusual. Night later alarm triggered, all sensors was activated and they noticed all photos from frames are gone. Family started to experience memory loss and doing this unconsciously. Father got security cams and one night saw when he frame froze, creature standing above his sons bed. Parents went to talk to an expert about the experiences they have and he told them about aliens and explained races and that they will take family member who is most visited by aliens. They made them seen things that arent there and playing with their mind. They went home and nailed boards to the windows which didnt present a big problem for aliens. They fly through the space, why would boards stop them? Unaware that their older son is the target they do most to protect the youngest but they are powerless to the aliens who appear and disappear in a blink of an eye. After older boy was kidnapped they start packing his things when his younger brother started to pick up something on walkie talkie. After few moments he heard his brother calling his name and that is how the movie ends making possible material for sequel.
I gave this movie 7/10 because story is good and its not made with those cheap moving cameras.
