“The X-Files”
Well, folks (and this one goes out to you younger readers), long before “The Walking Dead” was the must-watch genre show on TV, there was a little program called “The X-Files” that managed to hold our attention for a few years. In actuality, we all know that Agents Mulder and Scully and “The X-Files” was THE show for horror/sci-fi fans for a long time. And although the weekly episodes had our favorite agents chasing all kinds of supernatural baddies, there was that huge underlying story arc about Mulder’s sister and his belief that she was abducted by aliens. The series spawned a pair of movies that both landed in the “meh” department, but if there was ever a show that piqued our interests in alien abduction, “The X-Files” was it.

Dark Skies Synopsis
Dark Skies is a psychological thriller about a suburban couple whose lives become a nightmare when a terrifying alien presence enters their home each night to prey upon their children. Increasingly isolated from skeptical friends and neighbors, the couple are forced to take matters into their own hands to save their family.
