Balkan Castevet

Sci-fi also with some horror mechanisms that juggles the dynamics of films with aliens and abductions and which has a strong drama inside it seasoned with a dose of mystery. The initial vertical movements from top to bottom, from the sky where they are seen of stellar movements down to the ground, calls the coming of aliens, their landing. The subsequent long shot inside the house manages to show everything through images, the family frame on the ground anticipates the drama, the hanging drawing of the little girl, the tap from which the water flows with no one in the house makes it clear that something has happened , the arrival of the couple, wife and husband, will make clear the disappearance of their daughter Maisie. Carl Strathie's direction, on his second feature film, demonstrates that he knows how to play very well with time, with the mechanisms of the genre. Camera movements, sequence shots feed the tension and the atmosphere, it is a direction that knows how to slow down the rhythms and times to give emphasis and intensity to the scenes. The apparitions of the alien lights in the woods, the light that arrives in the distance from behind the characters, so the spectator notices them first of the protagonists at dinner, create atmosphere as well as the subsequent impact with the disruptive blue light. The film works in fueling the mystery, Strathie, does not show the aliens, except once but in the course of the film, it plays with the light, the shadows.The arrival of the aliens in the house of the protagonists' family is atmospheric and well managed, firstly the camera movements that the characters pass through the windows where the shadows can be glimpsed, the pace can be slow because the tension and the mechanisms are built through the direction and the camera making everything intense. Then the lights that begin to glimpse, the scene where the doll's house begins to light up first with yellow is excellent Read all
