Bright lights?

Skyline (2010)

Special effects specialists the brothers Strause direct this alien invasion film which stars Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel and Donald Faison. Some people are trapped in an apartment complex when aliens want to kill everyone.

The problem with this film is that it is pretty much just an advert for the directors special effects company. There is a distinct lack of plot and character on show here and while the visuals effects are nice they are unable to cover over the fairly obvious budget limitations the film is working under. What could have been a claustrophobic and intense film is ultimately nothing of the sort.

2/5
