With cameras in everyone’s pockets these days, what would happen if aliens were to attack Earth? Chances are, the invasion would be caught on film, and that’s the concept explored in the found-footage film The Darkest Dawn, the sequel to Hungerford. In Hungerford, alien parasites turn human beings into their hosts, and The Darkest Dawn follows two survivors of the initial attack.
When Chloe is given a video camera on her 16th birthday, her first home videos are funny and lighthearted. That is, until the world as she knows it comes crashing down when aliens begin taking over the bodies of human beings. As chaos and violence erupts around her, her only goal is to protect her sister and somehow make it out of all of this alive, if there is anywhere left that could be a sanctuary. If you enjoyed found-footage films like Cloverfield, The Darkest Dawn is a solid choice for your next movie night.
