Cool movie! I thought it was done really well, the shots were great, the direction of the film was really good, kudos to the director! I like Taryn Manning shes a legend in her own right,the lead Shane Woodson did an outstanding job as Richard Wiltz, also really loved the big guy, Steve Wilson played by Mike Ferguson, really enjoyed his buddy type demeanor, the whole cast did an amazing job but those were a few of my faves. I thought the concept and ending were really a cool original take on alien abduction movies, bravo ! What cinema needs these days is to really thrive in is originality, and being original has great benefits, Bravo!

Unusual, engaging SCI-FI story worth checking out! Cool change of pace, feel good SCI-FI film that is not built on CGI or the end of the world. Engaging, warm hearted story about real human beings on a journey of discovery. Solid performances by the cast, including Shane Woodson, Taryn Manning, and Sadie Katz, and well written and directed by David Parks. A very inspiring story about love and hope winning out over adversity. Movies like this prove you don't need massive budgets and big stars to tell great stories. So while everyone waits for the strikes to end you should check out indie films like this one. Bottom line, if you are into the X-Files, alien abductions movies, and similar stories you will enjoy this film. Check it out!

I really enjoyed this well scripted Sci-fi movie. It combines very human elements of the unexplained, aliens, mystery, drama, beginning with unexplained human loss that devastates the lead character. Then there is intrigue and mystery, along with the human struggle to recover and understand the unexplained that ultimately culminates in human renewal and rebirth. This is a super well put together flick, and a large step above many Si-fi movies. Great acting throughout, clear-minded story line, excellent human emotional impact that pulls the viewer into the drama as an integrated mental participant in the story The viewer is rewarded with excellent dialogue, acting, intrigue and drama until the satisfying mysterious end of the movie. Highly recommend to others. Dot.

With Hollywood constantly recycling concepts and releasing the same superhero movie every year, I'm desperate for indie/original films to watch that are actually good. I'm really glad I found this movie. Static Codes is a delightful little sci-fi with a lot of heart. It follows a man 15 years after a traumatic event - he claims his wife was abducted by aliens, and he's miserably alone and wanting to die. Its a really outstanding piece of acting by Shane Woodson, the lead of the film (who made me cry A LOT), and while there are some scenes that feel a little out of place, or slow, particularly when the feds enter the story, the film as a whole is a really unique take that I haven't seen anything like before, and the family dynamic between the daughter and Shane's dad character (and that adorable dog) carry the film. Its something I'd absolutely recommend to friends and family who are looking for a unique film with a truly original story and great dramatic acting. Also the adorable dog named Buster 100% steals the show, its honestly worth seeing just for that fkin cute as heck doggo who's such a good lil sleepy boi.

I can't say enough great things about this Static Codes. It's about one man's journey to find his wife despite his physical, mental and external barriers. The movie also follows a father & daughter relationship as the struggle while trying to reunite their family. It's a true hero's journey that is sprinkled with messages about the endurance of love, friendship, and belief in yourself. Audiences will walk away moved and inspired because they will remember what the most important things are in life. Also great is the acting by one & all in the film including an awesome little dog, Buster. The film defies movie genres, too. There's something in this sci-fi drama/comedy for everyone, regardless of age. Don't miss this feel good movie! Watch it with a loved one or your family- it make everyone smile!

This is a well made movie! The acting is solid with a few exceptions. The pace, editing and directing are great. The movie has a nice twist or two and the writing is strong enough to allow the movie to have a little heart without seeming like a Lifetime movie of the week. Couple things that stuck out: Shane Woodson carries the film from start to finish. He has a scene or two that don't completely work, but overall he is excellent. Mike Ferguson is also really good in his role. I kind of felt like Taryn Manning phoned it in a little, but although she is probably the biggest name in the movie she is actually only in it for five minutes or so. This was a nice surprise that I stumbled across on Amazon Prime! Well worth the $2.99.

This isn't your typical alien abduction flick, it's so much more! No spoilers, but the story is well developed, the pacing is solid and the acting is on point. David M. Parks wrote and directed Static Codes and I'm hoping to see more of his work. Shane Woodson does the unenviable job of owning the screen for almost every scene of the movie, often as the only character in the scene. He more than pulls it off! The supporting cast of Mike Ferguson, Taryn Manning, Sadie Katz and Jackson Everest are all perfect in their roles! You'll enjoy this one if you like a little pull at the heart strings mixed in with your Sci-fi.

This movie reminds me of late nights listening to Coast to Coast AM radio, with hosts Art Bell and George Noory, talking with guests about the supernatural, the paranormal, and UFOs from out of this world. In Static Codes, we have a guy, Richard Wiltz, hosting his own late night show ...in the darkness of his living room, alone with his faithful buddy -- a chihuahua named Buster -- sleeping on the couch nearby. There are lots of atmospheric elements here, with Richard taking center stage as a broken shell of his former self. He is the victim of a UFO encounter. Fifteen years ago, aliens abducted his wife and left him paralyzed in a wheelchair. Of course, nobody seems to believe him. And ever since then, he's been going down a rabbit hole of government coverups and otherworldly conspiracies. About 30 minutes into the movie, we start getting some crazy twists and turns ...leading us to believe that, well, Richard might not be crazy after all. (And if there is ever a sequel, I would definitely want to dig deeper and deeper into this world of late night radio, and all the strange things going on across the airwaves, that would be cool.) Yet, for all of its darkness, there is also an unexpected, heartwarming nature to the movie. Richard seems to bring out this warmheartedness in the people around him, especially when it's clear that he's trying to find his wife and make amends with his estranged daughter. You simply want the guy to get a lucky break and to start turning things around in his life! Well, that being said, be sure to watch the credits, at the very end of the movie, for a final scene!
