Review: The Fourth Kind



About this movie:
1n 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. Modern-day, 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 began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. 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 Fourth Kind was an interesting movie. I love to find out more about abduction theories and I was fascinated with the previews. When we went to the theater and watched the movie, I was ready to fall asleep. I'm actually surprised that I was able to stay awake throughout the whole thing. Abbey Taylor has such a soft voice that it was hypnotic. This is a movie that I will never watch again but I did find the story behind it compelling.
