Review of The Fourth Kind (2009) by Whit W — 20 Jan 2013
"The Fourth Kind" sets up the scary, shared abduction premise and then falls flat on its face with the directorial choices of split screen and claimed "real" video snippets of abductees under hypnosis. All of these decisions are wrong and frustrating. It's probably because the claim of "real" footage is so blatantly ridiculous here. The footage is a little scary but why reproduce something with Mila Jovovich supposedly acting it out as opposed to the real thing?!? Did she have one more film to do to fulfill her contract?
If you want to watch an effective, curious alien-abduction movie, just watch "Fire In The Sky" and call it good.
