"Devils in the Darkness" aka "All the Devil's Aliens" is a movie that was released in 2013. The movie is about one Mr. Stanton Pinborough, an eccentric elderly man with a dark secret living in the woods somewhere in Michigan. Decades ago after the loss of his son and the death of his wife, he became unable to cope with reality and shut himself in. He was once a member of the government and had amassed a fortune through government contracts, now he is broke and only survives on his pension. He is unable to take care of himself and has live in caretakers.
For over 5 years Robin Bradbury has taken care of him, before that her mother was assigned that position.
Recently things have taken a turn for the worse as Mr. Pinborough has become more and more difficult to deal with. Her latest assistant Sandra was not working out, so the agency assigned a new individual. Michael is a young man studying for a medical career and needs a job, which this situation provides a good opportunity. However, he finds that the situation is far beyond normal.
At the very beginning Michael notices some things as he drives through the woods, various shadowy beings along the road. As he come to find out these being are not just of his imagination, but all too real. The story takes a turn for the worse when Robin disappears after one of Mr. Pinborough's fits.After a while Michael makes the decision to go up and check. There he finds an empty room.
He soon realizes there is something else going on. The rumors about Mr. Pinborough might be tree about his missing son, and his dead wife. Also some paper he found suggest that Mr. Pinborough was a government official that dealt with UFOs. Mr. Pinborough is bought back and Michael does his best to make a connection with him. Mr. Pinborough unfortunately is thoroughly mad and admits that Robin has been taken like his son, and indeed the rumors are true about his wife.... that he killed him. We also find out tha Mr. Pinborough has some connections to Majestic Twelve and stole something from the aliens during his time working for the government. Out of retaliation, they took his son and made his life miserable driving him to the point of madness.
Eventually the aliens invade the home, Michael does his best to deal with them and Mr. Pinborough. After a while he realizes that Mr. Pinborough is a Monster and finds that he had stolen an alien and kept it in a jar.
Michael gives back the specimen to the Aliens and they end up killing Mr. Pinborough. In the end they return his missing son and Robin who were abducted.
The movie is suspenseful, but the effects are low budget and cheesy. It takes a bit to figure on what is what...but it did build suspense. Not really a typical alien movie, but it does build on the mental state the involvement with them can do to you. These did not appear to be greys and seemed some sort of reptilian humanoids. These beings had the ability to heal injuries and suck out the life force from people.
