George W Sep 9, 2017 Another AfterDark / Syfy production. This is listed as horror, but is more sci-fi in nature. The military decides to allow two reporters into Area 51 to show transparency and concern for community by letting them see there are no aliens at the base. The trouble begins when the captive aliens (which look more like demons) break free. I like Boxleitner, though he is always in low budget, cornball sci-fi. This is more of the same. It isn't great, but I enjoyed it. See more
