The Fourth Kind - clever camera work or little green men?

Watched this for the first time the other night, and quite enjoyed it for what it was - an alien abduction story based heavily on real footage.

I couldn't help but wonder though - the shot of the *ahem* UFO flying over the house, the chap levitating in bed, the shrink lady being pulled over the back of the sofa - could it be real?

Obviously, it's sensationalised for the film industry, but a grain of truth maybe?

Surprised no-one else has commented on this!

Although, this is generally a section where threads go to die...should be combined with the Lounge

Its all faked, the doctor never existed. there have only been 11 people go missing from that village in over 30 years. Also the real town there are no trees for many miles around.

Still a good watch though, probably the most realistic (to me anyway) of all these alien encounter films.

Independence Day?.

I'd like to do some reading into this

Fake or not, I bloody well enjoyed it

I enjoyed it too - but it is very much a fake. Universal paid out a settlement to the town featured, admitting they faked the "real" footage.

The FBI investigated and found that the disappearance rate was no higher than in other towns with similar characteristics (high levels of alcoholism and harsh local environment). Out of all the disappearances, all but 9 of the bodies have been fonnd.

These films get their marketing so right, it's complete fiction but people are still questioning it like they did with the Blair Witch Project.

Good film though, I absolutely don't believe the abduction thing but absolutely shat my shorts watching it.
