This year alone we&#8217;ve already had <I>Battle: Los Angeles<\/I>, <I>Super 8<\/I>, <I>Transformers: Dark of the Moon<\/I> and both <I>Attack the Block<\/I> and <I>Cowboys and Aliens<\/I> are on the way. Sure, I can&#8217;t drape a sense of negativity over all of them, but, let&#8217;s face it, ET&#8217;s taking over the Earth is a bit, well, overdone. However, after checking out Summit Entertainment&#8217;s <I>The Darkest Hour<\/I> presentation this morning, I can assure you that at least one of the upcoming alien takeover films is worth keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n<p>A group of reporters hit a specially outfitted room in the Hard Rock Hotel, decked out in concept art and stills from director Chris Gorak <I>The Darkest Hour<\/I>. After a little schmoozing and some coffee consumption, Gorak and producer Tom Jacobson kicked things off by summing up the plot of the film. The film stars Emile Hirsch and Olivia Thirlby as two members of a group of Americans vacationing in Moscow, Russia. \u201cAnd that\u2019s when the invasion happens. It happens early in our story,\u201d Gorak explains. \u201cThrough a frantic escape, they manage to hide and avoid the initial wave of attack.\u201d After taking cover for a few days, the group resurfaces to find that Moscow is completely destroyed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheEnvironment.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheEnvironment.jpg\" alt=\"TheEnvironment\" title=\"TheEnvironment\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheEnvironment.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheEnvironment-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p> A prime element of the story to Gorak is \u201cmoving through this apocalyptic world through the character\u2019s perspective and taking this journey with them and discovering the powers of the alien and eventually how to fight back.\u201d As for those invaders, they\u2019re a pivotal part of what makes <I>The Darkest Hour<\/I> so unique and particularly visually stimulating, too. Gorak explained, \u201cWe learn through their powers that they are made up of a lethal wave of energy and basically eliminated any modern technology that you can image.\u201d My personal worst nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>No only are there no cars, planes, trains, cell phones and computers courtesy of the visitors, but humans can\u2019t even see these aliens &#8211; during the day at least. Unlike many invasion films where the nighttime is the time to watch your back, <I>The Dark Hour<\/I> villains are most threatening in the daylight as they\u2019re invisible. Even worse, not only can the aliens see their victims, but electricity as well, including the electromagnetic pulses in our bodies, and that visual ability is reflected in the \u201calien POV\u201d concept art and stills that are on display. It looks like a blend between an x-ray and a somewhat muted version of what humans see.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheAlien.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheAlien.jpg\" alt=\"TheAlien\" title=\"TheAlien\" width=\"500\" height=\"353\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheAlien.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheAlien-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gorak continued, \u201cThey reach out with electrical tendrils and grab their victims.\u201d The aliens\u2019 primary weapon is \u201cshredding people.\u201d Gorak said, \u201cThe alien energy is so intense, that upon touch\u201d it can turn a victim into \u201cinstant ash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, this energy is also the invaders\u2019 weakness. \u201cThey affect electricity in such a way that a light bulb can save your life.\u201d Gorak explained further, \u201cThey power up any technology around them.\u201d When the group of characters meet some remaining Russians, they devise a plan for how to survive. At this point, they just need to get somewhere safe. \u201cIt was a lot of fun to break down the alien energy, which is integrated into the entire story,\u201d Gorak said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just an alien you can shoot with a bullet and kill.\u201d The characters must devise new weapons and a plan that will allow them to break through the alien\u2019s energy. Basically, they\u2019ve either got to harness it or avoid it and the story achieves that using real science, specifically the Faraday cage, an enclosure designed by scientist Michael Faraday capable of blocking out external non-static electric fields. One of the stills on the wall was actually of a cat decked out in a Faraday-inspired outfit to protect it from being shredded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourComic1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourComic1-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"TheDarkestHourComic\" title=\"TheDarkestHourComic\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-60521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourComic1-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourComic1.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/a>In addition to the film, Omni Press is also releasing a <I>Darkest Hour<\/I> comic. The piece will expand the big screen story as it goes beyond Russia and provides a view of what was happening around the world at the time. Thirteen artists contributed to the comic all of whom got a taste of the film when it was in its early development stages up until now so they cloud give their own interpretations on what was happening in other countries.<\/p>\n<p><B>TRAILER DESCRIPTION &#038; REACTION<\/B><\/p>\n<p>The presentation concluded with a showing of the film\u2019s very first trailer, which brought to life a number of the still images we saw hanging on the wall. The piece kicks off showing our heroes enjoying the Moscow nightlife to a booming soundtrack with a techno vibe. Love and awe of the town turns to absolute terror when these yellow pod-like formations begin to fall from the sky and an attack ensues.<\/p>\n<p>After the attack and the aliens have absorbed all of the energy, the focus returns to our main players who find out it isn\u2019t just Moscow that was hit, but many other big cities, too. In the next few clips, the characters break down the logistics previously mentioned \u2013 the aliens can see us, but we can\u2019t see them, their searching for energy, etc. There\u2019s a shot of one of these creatures approaching a dead cop car, however, as it passes it by the car lights up, hinting at the aliens\u2019 weakness, \u201celectricity gives it away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the trailer is very well cut, boasting an exciting pace, impressive imagery and appealing leads. We get a glimpse of the \u201cshredding\u201d which really is a unique way for the invaders to eradicate their victims, far more stimulating than the overused killing techniques we\u2019ve seen like the snatch and drag away, massive explosions or laser-like kills. The aliens themselves are also quite incredible looking. With this type of film, a major pitfall is typically when it comes time to reveal the design of the invader. The make up of these aliens are so unique and far from the clich\u00e9s we\u2019ve seen time and time again, that they\u2019re inherently appealing, fun to watch and, most importantly, rather believable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shredding.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shredding.jpg\" alt=\"Shredding\" title=\"Shredding\" width=\"500\" height=\"278\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shredding.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shredding-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Between the details provided by Gorak, the stills and concept art and then the theatrical trailer, one thing\u2019s for sure; <I>The Darkest Hour<\/I> is unlike any alien invasion film we\u2019ve seen before. Rather than rely on standard genre techniques, it strives to re-imagine and intensify them, maintaining the appeal of watching a group of survivors in an apocalyptic setting while thriving off of the elements that make it a fresher take.<\/p>\n<p><I>The Darkest Hour<\/I> is due out on December 23rd and really could be something to look forward to.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60518\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourSDCC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourSDCC.jpg\" alt=\"TheDarkestHourSDCC\" title=\"TheDarkestHourSDCC\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourSDCC.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/TheDarkestHourSDCC-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Max Minghella, Emile Hirsch, Chris Gorak, Joel Kinnaman and Tom Jacobson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/pnemiroff\">Perri Nemiroff<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many alien invasion films can we handle?
