In Moscow, five young people during their holidays lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply. The alien can see them but the can't see the aliens. The aliens are shapeless energy forms of yellow flares. The aliens use weapons that turn structures and humans alike into ash.The Darkest Hour’ is a 3D alien invasion movie starring Emile Hirschz, written by Jon Spaihtsz (the first scribe on Prometheus) and directed by Chris Gorakz, and tells the story of five young people who find themselves
stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. The 3D thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects, and while most invasion flicks tend to focus on the military fighting against the invading U Foes, this tale focuses on what happens after the aliens have already won. Chris Gorak described the film at comic con, saying: “It kind of flips the genre on its head where daytime is scarier than night because during the day you can’t see [the aliens]. But at night, their electro-alien energy illuminates light bulbs and turns on stereos and sirens or something. It’s kind of their tactical mistake of the aliens so it’s easier to track them at night.” The film is set and shot entirely in Russia and follows a ragtag group of international survivors lead by Hirsch, who must survive the alien occupation and figure a way to combat against the invisible agressors. We follow the survivors through the streets of Moscow after the initial attack kills 91% of the city’s population. Describing the aliens, the Gorak explains:“They’re made up of such intense lethal wave energy that just by touching them we get shredded, basically like a wood chipper. Instantly bodies pulverized into ash and they’re destroyed. Another great weapon is that they can reach out with their energy, grab things and pull them in to a shred as well.” Keeping in tone with the realistic take, the Darkest Hour seems to be a very pedestrianized movie, the aliens have attacked globally, but we view the destruction from a civilian’s perspective and never know more than they do. Eventually, the humans discover that the aliens can only see us by sensing our electro-magnetic pulses. To combat this, they team up with an eccentric Russian scientist who builds a makeshift Faraday cage, a real world device that grounds electricity and cloaks humans from the aliens. The footage at SDCC seems to indicate a real gritty, grounded and no holes barred thriller. Animals are killed, the aliens have zero mercy and the humans are in the biggest dilemma of our times, having already been beaten by an invisible, technologically superior invasion force. It looks good is the bottom line and after such disappointing albeit entertaining drek as Battle L.A. and Skyline, it’d be nice to have a real balls to the wall, scary ass invasion flick. And with The Darkest Hour Chris Gorak may just deliver..
