About this movie

In remote Alaska, citizens have been mysteriously vanishing since the 1960s. Despite multiple FBI investigations, the truth behind the phenomena had never been discovered - until now. While videotaping therapy sessions with traumatized patients, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) unwittingly exposes terrifying revelations of multiple victims whose claims of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details. Based on actual case studies, "The Fourth Kind" uses Dr. Tyler never-before-seen archival footage alongside dramatic reenactments to present the most disturbing evidence ever documented in this provocative thriller critics are calling "terrifyingly real"...The most shocking alien abduction movie to date." - Tim Anderson, BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM

Ratings and reviews

Thought this would pickup tempo, yet I stopped it less than half way. It really made me think of the B movie genre. I very rarely say a movie sucks as I'm open minded. Yet, the filming style blows. Very bland. Artistically, they could have integrated music to at least keep me awake or create scene transitions that were more captivating. Z z z z z z

I had VERY low expectations for this movie. For about a full hour I was literally in pain watching this, trying to find the strength just to finish watching the entire thing. But the last 30 mins were pretty scary I must admit. Freaked me out a bit. Overall, I did get scared but it wasn't the thrilling kind of scare you get from a good horror movie.

This film takes cases of missing people in Nome, Alaska, that the FBI determined were due to alcohol consumption and harsh weather conditions, and turns them into an alien abduction theory. The supposed "real footage" is fake, as is Nome. In the movie it's depicted as being located in forested mountains. It's actually flat, treeless and by the ocean. What was Milla Jovovitch thinking?
