The Fourth Kind Review

This is one of those movie's that plays off of people's paranoid fears of Aliens and being abducted. They use the footage to add a bigger sense of creepiness to the film.

Story:

In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien

encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document…until now.

Structured unlike any film before it, “The Fourth Kind” is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where—mysteriously since the 1960s—a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered.

Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.

Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, “The Fourth Kind” exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

The Good
The thing I think freaked me out about the movie was the "Never-Before-Seen" archival footage that they showed in the film. Just the sudden realization of what would happen if you were forced to remember something horrible happening to you, again.

The Bad
The Actor who played Dr. Abigail Tyler (Not Jovovich! Yes, this movie was a fake! Get over it!!), her eyes bugged the hell out of me! Every scene that shows her I'm just sitting there thinking Jesus! Her eyes are HUGE!!!! and "Dear God, Woman! BLINK!!!" Not to mention Milla Jovovich's horrible acting. Her voice is completely void of any emotion, everytime she'd talk I'd cringe in my seat.

All-In-All
I'll give this movie a decent rating just because of the effort they put into making this movie as believable as possible.

I'm giving it a 5.5.
