With just a few days until its release, Dimension Films has unveiled five short clips from the upcoming thriller “Dark Skies.”

“Dark Skies” follows the trials of a normal, happy family, the Barretts, after they are targeted by a malevolent force – which has its own dark plans for them. When strange and bizarre things begin to happen to them, their paranoia and fear begin to isolate them from their friends and loved ones.

When an expert is called in to help, he says he has dealt with similar situations before and that there is no hope for escape; once you have been chosen, it’s too late. With a fighting spirit, they take a stand to defend and save the ones they love, but how can you combat a force you do not understand?

Some of these clips we have seen parts of in the trailer (you can see it HERE), but overall they are just expanding on the creepiness and thrilling nature of the film. The clips set up the beginning of the strange occurrences in the Barrett’s house.

In the first clip, Lacey (Keri Russell) awakens to hear a strange noise in one of her boy’s rooms and goes to investigate only to be startled by a shadowy figure in the dark. But did she just imagine it? The clip is so dark I couldn’t really see a thing, but I have a feeling that it is on purpose and the entire film will tease us by hiding the actual aliens until near the very end.

B-roll provides a compilation of behind the scenes footage for the film.

Keri Russell chats with Access about her new scary movie, “Dark Skies.” How did she choose this movie? Is she a fan of horror films? Plus, did she have nightmares after reading the script the first time? And, what did she enjoy most about making this movie?

In this exclusive clip from “Austenland,” Russell’s character, Jane Hayes, shows that she’s a natural in the realm of out-of-circulation Victorian firearms. It’s a quirky clip that gives you a great idea of what the Stephenie Meyer-produced film has in store. Check it out below:

Plot: The lives of a suburban couple become a nightmare when a terrifying alien presence enters their home each night to prey upon their children. Increasingly isolated from skeptical friends and neighbors, the couple is forced to take matters into their own hands to save their family.

“Dark Skies” is directed by Scott Stew and is set to hit theaters on February 22nd, 2013.

Early 2013 is getting awfully crowded, horrorwise, with a new addition to the schedule that begs the question: Can a movie really be finished that fast?

Box Office Mojo reports that Dimension Films has set DARK SKIES for release February 22 of next year—which will be a neat trick, considering the movie only went into production in the past month. Switching dates has been par for the course for Dimension, so we’ll see if this one sticks. Produced by the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY/INSIDIOUS team at Blumhouse Productions, DARK SKIES is written and directed by LEGION and PRIEST’s Scott Charles Stewart, and stars Keri Russell (pictured above) and Josh Hamilton as parents trying protect their kids (including REAL STEEL’s Dakota Goyo) from an abduction-minded alien. SPLINTER’s Justin Raleigh is heading up the makeup FX.

Keri Russell will star in Dark Skies, a supernatural thriller written and directed by Scott Stewart, who previously made Priest and Legion.

Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) are producing Dark Skies alongside Alliance Films, which will fully finance the picture. Dimension Films will distribute the film in the U.S.

The plot involves an alien disguised as a human and a boy tagged to be abducted.

The movie is scheduled to go into production later this summer.

Russell, repped by WME and the Burstein Co., next stars in FX’s drama pilot The Americans. She has the romantic comedy Austenland in the can.
