This film serves up a decent horror flick. It's a good one to see with a group of friends. The premise is a tad 50's and is really a modern "invasion of the body snatchers", but that's not a minus point.
It builds up the tension and paranoia brilliantly and really does leave you guessing for quite a while towards the outcome. As for being scary, it's not full of "jumping out of your seats" moments, but it does have its fair share of them.
The only criticism I have is how the group suddenly decide that aliens have taken over, although there hasn't been any UFO's or abductions or anything. This does seem a bit out of place,( As is Usher, who despite being in all the trailers and posters etc, is only in the film for about 5 minutes.) but forget that and it's an enjoyable "generation y" flick. Not bad at all.
