If you grew up in the ’80s, there’s a good chance the following full-length trailer for Universal Pictures upcoming sci-fi thriller Skyline is gonna remind you of days spent at the arcade playing Defender. Directed by Colin and Greg Strause, the film follows a group of friends who awaken from a drunken haze to discover alien ships sucking up humans in beams of blue light.

Take a look:

Skyline stars Brittany Daniel (The Hamiltons), Scottie Thompson (Star Trek), Crystal Reed (“Teen Wolf”), Kate Mara (Iron Man 2), David Zayas (“Dexter”), Eric Balfour (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and brown bear Donald Faison (”Scrubs”).

The film is set in Los Angeles and was shot with a crew of 20 people utilizing Red One cameras, which provide the quality of 35mm film with the convenience of digital technology. Despite being produced as an indie, Skyline boasts top-notch F/X created by the Strause brothers’ very own effects shop Hydraulx (Avatar, 2012).
