Ok so I remember being very young so this movie must have been released before 2007-2006. I didn’t watch the full movie because I remember I was scared of it but I have a vivid scene in my head that always bothers me for not knowing the movie. The scene in question is one where I can closely related it to War of The Worlds in where I can only describe it as a human being liked wringed out by like a tentacle and there was like 2 men looking through a boarded up window and I think blood was like splashing a bit onto the plywood not excessively but there was some. And it was at night and there was like a pile of bodies building up. And lastly I think the movie was about aliens and if I remember correctly the main character was traveling with his daughter (but not sure on that).
This sure sounds like the new version of War of the worlds, starring Tom Cruise.
New war of the worlds (2005) – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/
or the Original version (1953) – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046534/?ref_=nv_sr_2
“War of the Worlds”(2005)?
With C. Thomas Howell, very similar to the Tom Cruise version.
