The Fourth Kind (2009)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

How sad is this?

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This movie is extremely disturbing and the true story is even crazier. Whether you're new to the alien scene or are an experienced UFO hunter this film will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Now time for a story: My friend and I are lovers of the supernatural, the extra terrestrial, and all things horror. We decided, one night, to watch a new (at the time) movie, The Fourth Kind. We rented the DVD and neglected to watch it and, instead, played some videogames. It wasn't until very late that we finally decided to pop the disc in and see the film. We. Were. Terrified. We had studied the events before, and seeing them come to life on our TV really put it into perspective. In the film all abductions happen at a specific time, 3:33 in the morning, and some abductees, trying to block out the bad memories, would see barn owls in their dreams/memories to cope with the reality of seeing aliens. The movie ended, the credits rolled, and my friend and I were huddled together on my bed. We were tired, it was getting late, and I decided to look at my clock... 3:32 am... If that wasn't scary enough I had an odd collection of things on my desk. One part of that collection was, you guessed it, a fake barn owl used for scaring crows away. We didn't sleep until sunrise and that owl has found its place in the attic where it can never scare me again. Very scary and a moment we will never forget.

I watched this three or four years ago and it TERRIFIED me. I was never scared of owls or aliens until watching this movie, but I had trouble sleeping after this. I'm embarrassed to admit that it completely fooled me and I thought the audio recordings and video reenacted in the movie were real. Of course, I felt stupid and kind of disappointed when I found out that they were fake, but after re-watching this today... I actually still enjoyed it. It's definitely got a legitimately creepy vibe to it, whether you believe it's real or not. And Milla Jovovich's performance was pretty darn good.

indeed, there is a gripping story.reality and fiction in a film that is very well combined. the film to be shown as the real thing with real-like image has been very successful.A must-watch movie lovers voltage. We have predicted the end different from standard thrillers, documentaries taste. There is nothing to say about acting on. Each player has the right roles. about the movie, if you do your research beforehand on the subject, The taste of the movies can escape.true or not, the film turned out a successful business.

You've heard about those old 'snake oil' salesmen in the Old West right? Well it seems one of them decided to make a movie. And much like the garbage bottles of ointments and tonics those old con-men made a living from, this movie too is at best worthless and at worst harmful. The movie begins by vigorously stating that the whole thing is based on actual events and real archive footage. The only problem is that very quickly it appears that the so called 'real' footage is somehow not quite right. It kind of hits you in increments... First these poor alien victims seem to be acting up. Then there's all the make-up they seem to be wearing. Then there's the edited camera angles during their interviews. Then there's the over the top captioning to the effect of 'this footage is really real', even down to the point when someone is screaming it reads...'screams'. And then finally there's the police cam footage of some local lunatic killing his family and then blowing his brains out and suddenly it becomes painfully obvious... it's all lies.Frankly I was relieved that the efforts of the editor and director in faking all this footage had been so woefully poor. I was glad I didn't live in a world where hysterical and obviously disturbed individuals are further harmed by well meaning but totally incompetent therapists (I know, don't say it!). But after this came the anger at the realisation that once you glean, as you quickly will, that it's all a load of smoke and mirrors the movie is not good enough anymore to actually stand on its own feet. It seems it was solely dependent on the audience's believing in it for any of its appeal. Without that it's just all melodramatic screaming, nonsense scripting and cliché madness. But it's worse than that, it's irresponsible. Without getting personal, any rational individual will understand that alien abduction is about as likely as a duck quacking the complete works of Shakespeare in Morse code. (No really, there are statistical analyses of the probability of alien abduction and let's just say it's a number with so many zeros you can't fit them on a calculator). So it's safe to say that people who actually do believe that they've been abducted or visited by aliens are probably in need of emotional help or else suffering from the terrifying and unfortunate symptoms of sleep paralysis. So what effect is this kind of trickery going to have on them?Perhaps the director thought this would be a more radical version of the Blair Witch project? Only the problem is, whereas few people are traumatised by a real life belief in having been attacked by an undead witch in the forest, many people actually do believe in aliens and some of those people are clearly unstable. By consequence of its shameless fraudulence this movie thus has some explaining to do to the young and impressionable, those who don't have a firm grip on reality and those who are in need of therapy. And also to everyone else who watches it, because movies should be good enough to be entertaining without having to rely on manipulation and lies damn it!
