The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The found footage genre is designed to show horror from a "realistic" point of view. It's designed to push the envelope in suspension of disbelief, to make the viewer actually interpret the events depicted as real, which is what makes films like "Blair Witch" and "Paranormal Activity" so real and so effective. If that's the case with found footage, I never got that sense once from "Alien Abduction". The acting and writing is so clearly that--acting and writing--that your suspension of disbelief is thrown before the first five minutes are up. The fact that the characters are cardboard cutout clichés does not help either. Unfortunately, the film does not share in the glory of being "so bad, it's good": it's just simply awful.

It's official, aliens creep me the F out. They're just so damn weird and scary. After the disappointing The Fourth Kind, I decided to revisit this cheap little movie. I remembered it being campy and hokey, but apparently I was wrong. This was a lot scarier than I remembered and did have a fairly natural feel. There were some obvious attempts at character development, which got in the way, such as th forced "Oh, my sisters boyfriend is black and I'm not comfortable with this BLAH BLAH BLAH". Also some of the aliens methods were just pretty confusing, such as making two people kiss. What it does is avoid cheap jump scenes whilst gradually building to a climax of fear.

When they are in the passage, the Shotgun is shot and puts a hole into the bedroom door, shortly after the Smoke alarm goes off, someone says "Take the battery out" when they try and remove the battery, the alarm has wires going into the ceiling, thus the smoke alarm is hard wired to the electric circuit so removing the batteries would make no difference. Also the hole from the shotgun looks perfectly round. Other than that to me the film is pretty average at best, its unconvincing from some of the actors and when they are all down in the kitchen with nose bleeds etc, they are all going far over the top than you would otherwise expect.

A family celebrating thanksgiving are interrupted by strange goings-on: the power goes out and a strange other-worldly craft is sighted. This film has some genuinely creepy moments as the space invaders start infiltrating the house and knocking the characters off one by one.The camera-work is fly-on-the-wall as the situation unravels, a few people also appear as supposed analysts to the filmed event which adds another dimension of reality to it. Really none of the actors can be faulted.At first I thought this was a blatant rip-off of Blair Witch, but then noticed it was a year older.It's pretty creepy ... you might find yourself checking the windows and doors.
