I was expecting something a little different from this one, but it was fairly decent.
A newlywed couple go to a secluded cabin in the woods (cue horror movie cliche, but one I like) for their honeymoon. We learn it actually belongs to Bea's (Rose Leslie, Game of Thrones) family that she often went to as a kid. Everything seems so perfect, until Bea runs into an old acquaintance in the town and he and his wife are behaving strangely. Then Bea starts acting strangely after she is found one night naked in the woods.
It did a pretty good job of making the movie very eerie and atmospheric. But honestly, I thought it was going to be about a haunted cabin and ghosts or something, but nope. Aliens. Don't think that really ruins anything for anyone, it is pretty apparent within the first 20 minutes of the film. It was never too hokey as, for me, a lot of alien/alien abduction movies can be. There are a couple of scenes that really spooked me, and also were cringe-worthy. However, it was never too clear what the motives of the aliens were, which sometimes is ok, but really was just frustrating. Do they want to kill off the men in this little town? Do they need the ladies for breeding? Are the squirmy, wormy things like a Body Snatchers thing? Well the answer to that one I feel is "kind of," but again not too clear. But decently creepy so it gets 3 skulls.
