Beer and a couple of mates help immensely.

Warning: Spoilers
You know the story of this utterly bananas 'found footage' movie, so here are a few supplementary observations.

-Crouching in the woods watching the alien the three sons noisily shush each other quiet, then when the alien sees them, they run away shrieking like little girls.

-The aliens are armed with laser pointers. Guess they stopped in at an office supplies place to tool up before going a-probing and a-cow-tipping.

-Drinking game: Every time someone says 'what was that?' More hardcore drinking game: Every time the mum is seen with her wine glass.

-Tommy can't film the dead alien upstairs because older brother Kurt says it might not be dead yet. Yet it's okay for everyone else to crowd closely around the 'corpse' and obscure it from the camera?

-Why is the grand-daughter so calm? Because you can't genuinely terrify a wee kid just to make a TV movie and so the script has her 'in league with the aliens'. Or something.

-Nobody ever threatens to shove that damned video camera up Tommy's butt. Video cameras capture SOUND as well as pictures, so we didn't have to see everything. Some subtitling of conversations on a black screen would have been a welcome atmospheric touch.

-Did the editor forget to dub in the grand-daughter's 'amazing' piano playing?

-The mum is remarkably hot, even behind those silly 'old lady' glasses. Kurt was brave to leave big hunky Matthew behind with all those sexy women...
