Just got back from the cinema after seeing the movie Gamer. Before which a commercial was shown that really interested me. The movie it was about is called The Fourth Kind
Really can't wait to see this now. It's just too bad it didn't make it for Halloween.
Still i hope they keep it as eerie as it was when you first saw the trailers in the cinema, not try to go ahead and lay it on thick, i think that would ruin it.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: you will not see any aliens. the whole story is fabricated. and it's just a cliche blair witch thriller. Also it just seems short, pointless, and in dire need of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. There were people leaving my theater 30 minutes into it.

It's truly very eerie. Few people left during the film where we went too, personally i think they bottled out of it, because the film comes on as being very real. Allot of the footage, and the sound clips are also pretty freaky.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]:
You won't see any aliens, which i am very very thankful for, i think it would have ruined the whole thing. As the films plays on your sense of fear of the supernatural*. You never directly see or hear anything that is 'proof' but again i think that would be largely beside the point of what they were trying to do here.
*So if Aliens just don't scare you, or interest you, don't waste your money this will be a waste.
The story revolves around the doctor Abigail Tyler. Who is interviewing people for a sleep disorder. She's a recently widowed single mom to two kids, a son and a baby girl. How the husband died is surrounded by a mystery, the case remains unsolved.
She interviews this guy using hypnosis to make him recall a particular night. However as you can guess he flips out. Turns out the next day he's killed him family including himself apparently in order to prevent what happened to him happening to them.
Anyway i won't tell you the inns and outs but the movie gets weirder from there onward. In my opinion what is actually happening makes less and less sense unless you consider aliens.
At the end of the movie Milla Jovovich appears on screen and tells us that it's up to us to make up our minds about the film. Then the credits come up, during which there are phone calls being played of people reporting UFO's and the like.
Ultimately it was a good film, and it freaked the hell out of allot of people. When we left some girls were crying (I lol'd ), some guys were saying it was crap, when as fate would have it they sat in from of us and they were pissing themselves during the movie. Others did seems rather bored. So very mixed reactions. I suppose it would depend on what it takes to unnerve you.
I'd give this film a...... 4/5. It's story wasn't the best, in fact it was somewhat weak, but it's the first film to be released in years that i can actually call a true blue hair raiser.
I think they were bored and figured out that all the footage was Holywood and a total farce. Half the theater was laughing, chatting, and texting about 15 minutes in.
