Groom Lake

About This Movie

Groom Lake has this unsettling quality, you know? The mix of horror and science fiction really sets a distinct tone. It’s about Kate, who’s terminally ill and drags her boyfriend Andy to this infamous spot, Groom Lake, where tales of aliens abound. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that actually contributes to the eerie atmosphere, leaving you feeling on edge. The practical effects are surprisingly decent for a film of this budget, adding to the authenticity of the alien encounters. The performances are... not always stellar, but they do have a rawness that fits the whole vibe. It’s a curious blend of desperation and hope, with characters that feel just a bit over-the-top, but in a way that’s oddly captivating.
