This film is a dramatization of events that occurred October 1st through the 9th of 2000, in the Northern Alaskan town of Nome. To better explain the events of this story, the director has included actual archived footage throughout the film…Every dramatized scene in this movie is supported by either archived audio, video or as it was related by Dr. Tyler during extensive interviews with the director. In the end, what you believe is yours to decide. Please be advised that some of what you’re about to see is extremely disturbing.
That’s Milla Jovovich at the beginning of The Fourth Kind, breaking the wall in order to pull us into a strange world of psychological fury and alien abductions. Jovovich plays Dr. Abigail Tyler, whose work as a psychologist treating abducted patients is documented in this movie through, as the intro suggests, actual video and audio shot by Dr. Tyler during her sessions and actor-portrayed dramatizations, kind of like what you used to get on shows like Unsolved Mysteries or Rescue 911. Only there’s no Stack, no Shatner, but the search for the truth is pretty much the same.

There’s no doubt you’ve heard all about this movie by now. If you haven’t seen it, everyone you know has seen it and they’re probably divided into two extreme camps on whether it’s good or not. I’ve heard many people say how gloriously terrifying this movie is and I’ve heard others say how ridiculously stupid it is. What do I think? Well, I’m uncomfortably straddling the fence between the two and I could fall either way depending on how much trouble I have falling asleep tonight. On the one hand, I have a real strong dislike for most movies shot in the first-person, home video style (Cloverfield, Quarantine, Home Movie, etc.) and having to sit through 90 minutes of that kind of shaky nonsense does not make me happy. On the other hand, I really dig any kind of horror movie that delivers simple, legitimate, honest, bare bones chills, and Paranormal Activity does exactly that.
