Area 51 (2015)

Unsurprisingly the general public of this mostly negative - and you can quite clearly see why.

The unimaginative title is where it starts and we follow this up with the hated "found footage" genre of a bunch of kids breaking into Area 51. The locals tell them horror stories of government cover ups and guess what?

Really this film could be made up of clips cut from any of the billion films covering the same subject that you've seen time and time again.

However....I personally enjoyed this one quite a lot, despite the plot probably being written on the back of a cornflakes packet it carried a certain charm. It's 100% nothing that you haven't already seen but that just seemed to cover all the bases.

I guess I'm also a sucker for the whole Area 51 conspiracy. With some suitably tense moments and actually a few surprises you maybe won't enjoy this as much as I did but I'd not consign it to the bargain bin just yet..
