What happens

Skyman is a 2019 American science fiction-found footage horror film written and directed by Daniel Myrick. Inspired by memories from his childhood and interest in supernatural events, Myrick wrote the premise to be a "character study" comparable to the real-world psychological trauma and life-long experiences of alien abductees. In interviews leading up to the film's release Myrick stated, "This isn't Dan trying to do another found footage horror film. This is its own thing." The film was met with an overall mixed critical reception, while praise was directed at the actors, and realistic portrayal of letting go of the past. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
