I never heard of this movie. I found it occupying the #1 spot in a "scariest horror movies" list made by the admin of a horror themed Facebook page. On that very same list, Insidious was in last place, Drag me to Hell was near the top, and Sinister was absent. I was already suspicious of said list, by then. Still, the comments were praising Fire in the Sky so much, saying things like "oh, yeah, Fire in the Sky, totally creepy, that eye scene still gives me the chills"... "OK, despiste the truly badly compiled list, must be a good movie, then, judging from all these comments, so let's watch it", I naively thought to myself.
The movie is absolutely, gut wrenching boring for the vast majority of it. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, ever happens, besides some hillbillies looking sketchy while being accused of murder by the town's people, and everyone still being a terrible actor at it. There are only, I think, three rather short scenes (except for the last one) involving extra-terrestrial stuff and only the last one is mildly (emphasis on "mildly") unsettling. By that time I was thinking to myself "what f*cking eye scene?! Where's that chilling eye scene I saw everyone talking about in the comments?!". By then I realised I was watching a fluke. The aliens look like your average Monday morning worker. The only cool thing, for me, about this movie was the actually reasonable concept that the typical alien figure that people have been describing throughout history are actually suits with aliens inside them (they show the suits later in the movie).
If you're looking for horror, avoid this movie. If you're looking for sci-fi, avoid this movie. If you're looking for a genuinely unsettling movie with aliens, go watch Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County (not a great movie, but a way better experience than this one tried to deliver). This one's a bad egg. If you, like me, were dragged into this one because of some hype you read online, you've been warned.
Of course, I stopped following that Facebook page that started this for me. Those guys clearly don't have a clue about horror (and, to be perfectly clear, this isn't a horror movie and isn't even remotely scary or creepy).
