Verdict on Alien Storm
Recap
The movie follows a group of party guests who come under attack from a mysterious fog. They must find a secure location to see out the storm. However, what is within the fog creates the bigger battle to survive the situation.
Best Parts
The mix of ideas is interesting to watch unfold. We get a mystery set in a fog that is consuming areas; this offers some early suspense.
Worst Parts
The final reveal is underwhelming and feels like it is just taking the best parts of most alien movies and dumping them into a mishmash. It is also filled with a host of poor decisions which lead to the characters needing to suffer through something. Elsewhere, the performances are not the strongest.
Final Thoughts –Alien Storm is a mishmash of many better sci-fi movies.
