I should give it a higher rating, simply because I've gotten so much pleasure out of it. It's just that I can't put my finger on why I enjoy it. I believe that most people might not like it, so I don't give it an 8, since it is a personal avarice.
The set coloring is one of my favorite styles, similar to that of the Star Trek series, but darker and grittier. The sound of the mental telekinesis effect is spine-tingling for me, in a childish horror way. The shape of the alien vessel is strange and intriguing. I like 60's spaceship design.
The dialogue is realistic and simple. The tracing of Hobb's Corner back to Roman times is quickly and tastefully done, and there's no annoying background music to try and force an ominous attitude. I get more spooked when there's not a soundtrack telegraphing what I'm supposed to feel. It allows you the viewer to feel as if you uniquely detected an issue. It's purely a subconscious response. I mean, who would watch a detective story if at every clue there was a "Dun-dun- dun!"
