Alien at the Movies

A single mom's (Kathryn Hahn) vacation cruise plans necessitates sending her 2 kids off for a week with nana & pop-pop to whom the mom has been estranged for over 15 years. Wanting to learn more about their mom, the aspiring filmmaker daughter along with the rap styling son decide to document their visit on film. Over the course of their stay, the siblings find their elderly hosts seem to get weirder and more threatening with each day. The kids are terrific as they star & carry the movie. Written & directed by M. Night Shyamalan, this thriller is more comedy & suspense with a bit of disgust for shock value rather than a true horror story. If you are into the unusual, this odd film may have something for you. Stay for on final rap when the credits roll.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "Sundowner's Syndrome" stars out of 4.
