The Fourth Kind

Continuing on the string of horror movies supposedly based on actual events is the film The Fourth Kind.

The movie begins with Milla Jovovich walking up to the camera and explaining that she will be portraying the real Abbey Tyler. Tyler is a psychologist who documents the events with her video camera and tape recorder.

The film includes the "actual video and audio recordings" to make the film more authentic.

Something is happening with the residents of Nome, Alaska. At least 3 people are having trouble sleeping. They wake up around 3:33 AM and claim they see an owl looking at them. It's just that they don't think it's an owl.

We learn, through the video recordings that these poor people have had a very traumatic experience and Tyler begins to believe they may have been abducted by aliens.

Will Patton plays the sheriff who is having a hard time keeping the peace of his town. He ends up revealing some troubling news to Abbey Tyler concerning her husband. (Who was also involved with this disturbing investigation)

The movie takes a troubling turn when, while under hypnosis, a patient appears to be possessed by whatever creature is terrorizing the town. Near the end, Tyler herself appears possessed.

It is quite disturbing.

While claiming to be true, this film, while scary, is entirely a hoax.
