I completely missed Dark Skies when it came out. Didn't see any trailers, nothing. Which may have helped... as this is just the kind of film that's best watched with as few preconceptions as possible.
It isn't a Boo! scary horror film, on the whole. But it is a psychological drama that builds nicely to a climax.
We see a family, their friends and local community, all behaving perfectly sensibly given the information they have. Which is a nice change. You don't have to shriek "just listen to her" at the screen when someone does something completely dumb. Of course, some people are quicker to change their world-view than others, and some ignore the facts whatever they are. But that is what real people do.
