Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) stars as Dr. Abigail Emily Tyler. The movie is a mock docu-drama about how Dr. Tyler was abducted in 2000 and the acting is interlaced with actual footage of Dr. Tylers interviews with the Psychologist who helped her after her ordeal. The opening of the movie is a bit odd with a split screen. This continues throughout the movie and I guess you get used to it. I honestly think the movie would have been better without it. It is a good show, somewhat strange at times, but mostly it is just entertaining. The only thing I did not like about the movie was the constant voice over of "real" footage over the actors. It became annoying, especially during peak moments when you were trying to listen to what was going on. Additional Cast Includes: Corey Johnson, Enzo Clienti, Will Patton, Elias Koteas If you are into this type of movie I would go ahead and buy this one.Read full review
I am NOT a reviewer, but there is one thing that can be said about this film. . . if you're not a believer in extraterrestrials, you will most likely be pushed much closer to the believer category after watching this movie. If the so called "actual footage" is true, someone has finally caught on film what many have been seeking for years. It will leave you with either a sick feeling, like the characters were experiencing, or a feeling of elation. Personally, I am more inclined to the first. I don't particularly like the way I felt after the movie, though if was pretty exciting and intense through most of the film. There aren't many places that slow down and it pretty much holds your attention throughout. I bought this movie based on what I saw in the previews and it did NOT disappoint. Unlike any film I've ever seen. You watch it and judge for yourself. Is it live or is it Memorex?: )Read full review
I purchased this movie because in my life I have come into certain information which , ordinarily, a person of my status (civilian) would not usually have as regards Off-world life. The trailer for this movie indicated that the film would include certain actual footage which could either refute or verify some of the information I have. I feel my "hunch-o-meter", which is very good, could be relied upon to tell me whether or not I am seeing footage which is bogus or authentic. I found that this movie was "the real deal" in most ways. My expectation was that if the concepts presented in the film were true that this film would be upsetting to many and would also not be particularly popular...as truth so often can be. This was the case completely. For those who are bothered by the true presentation of a human being experiencing complete, mind-shattering terror, this film is not for you. If, when it comes to issues like the close reality of other-worldly civilizations, you are not at all comfortable with possible outcomes of interfacing with such civilizations, again you should avoid this film altogether. If, however, you are feeling that disclosure is fairly imminent, as I do, you should watch this film and then work hard to answer for yourself all of the difficult questions to which the film gives rise. This movie is not so much entertainment as it is memorialization of real earthbound human beings coming into direct, hostile contact with off-world life in a universe where we are babes in the woods (and therefore vulnerable) in nearly every way.Read full review
There is nothing more terrifying to me than being abducted against my will, especially by aliens. Although, I've contemplated how I might be so lucky to get taken up to another world and be introduced to a super-human race of creatures that could take me away from here, since it is that I sometimes feel that there is really no more intelligent life left on this planet that understands me. I've been interested in UFOs and Alien Abduction for decades that started with several books including "The Andressian Affair" documenting a true to life abduction by a young lady in the 70s. "The 4th Kind" is a reference to scientist J. Allen Hynek's famous categories involving the sightings of UFOs. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) also referred to this scale. This film works really well in spots, although, it is extremely hard to follow since there are overlapping split screens showing the supposed reality shots along with the mimicking dramatizations. This fictitious story which is passed off as true (just for effect) works because it does such a good job of convincing you that it is real. If you come into this film with total ignorance yet belief, the film will work for you too. The film makes it so real that you are forced to believe because, what we are watching is told to us from the very beginning as a real re-inactment. The backdrop for the film is Nome, Alaska which makes it even spookier. Although Nome is populated by 51% of native Alaskans, the film ignores this fact since we only see Hollywood actors. I'd have to say that this was detrimental to the story-line. I'll have to hand it to the producers of this film. The films budget was extremely tight, however, everything in the film actually looked great. Their expenditures on production were quite low consider a budget of 10 million. I would dare say that I think that Milla Jovovich probably got at least 2 million to star in the film. Our director and screenwriter Olatunde Osunsanmi actually played him himself as the interviewer of supposedly real Abbey Tyler. Not many directors actually have the ability to play a role like this. As we see things, this guy is just there to interview this distressed person and find out the truth. Since Abbey Tyler is supposed to be real, we are never really sure who the lady playing her really was, but we do grasp and understand that Milla Jovovich is actually playing her in dramatization. If you have ever seen anything Will Patton (Sheriff August) has been in, then you will know why this was the perfect role for him. In this film, Sheriff August is continually trying to get this Abbey Tyler into a position to debunk her outlandish claims that she continually makes about the stories that are being told about peculiar occurrences that seem to be cropping up with her patients under hypnosis. August attempts to arrest her on several occasions only to give her another break. This lady can not seem to stay out of the limelight. As you will see, Abbey continues to press & uncover more & more information that supports her outlandish claims of alien abductions. The film's hoaxed interviews have angered the families of real missing persons in & around Nome for trivializing their loss. Melanie Edwards, V.P. of Kawerak, Inc (an organization representing tribal peoples in Alaska) described the film as insensitive to family members of people who have gone missing over the years. Despite its plot involving alien abductions, aliens are never shown.Read full review
I feel this is a very important video account of a kind of incident which is far more prevalent than the general public is even aware of. For UFOLOGISTS & those interested in UFOs & unusual occurrences related to UFOs it is a MUST watch. Those who are familiar with Dr. Karla Turner's work ( Masquerade ) this video should be mandatory for more education in that area. This is not a 'fictional' story, nor a science-fiction movie, but rather a documentary of sorts of some rather frightening events the facts of which are rather graphic in the way it was formatted & introduced( it contains actual video of events which were taped not only by police, but during some sessions with Dr.Abigal Tyler & her clients...this is definitely NOT something you would want your children to watch. Though it leaves open to debate some questions of the exact 'source' of the violations shown, the extreme violations are well documented & those seeking answers to possible unexplained experiences they have themselves been subjected to, may indeed find some answers here for themselves. At least it may alleviate some felt but undefined fears & lead one to research this phenomena more thoroughly instead of just assuming they are becoming insane because they cannot explain their fears. I give major kudos to the actors for taking on a tough task, in order to accurately present these documented experiences. A tough task also because it is one which I believe has been highly 'co-opted' by certain groups who have supported the 'Hollywood' version of UFO events in order to make the issue of alien abduction a mundane one & have desensitized the public through movies & TV series in the past few decades. This is an on going phenomena, it has not ended & indeed has accelerated, we ALL need to be aware of it.Read full review
