Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

yourwarmembrace This is a POV film shot entirely through the eyes of a minor who admittedly has autism. No, seriously. The only reason I forced myself to make it to the end of this film is because I spent the day vegging on B movies with low IMDb ratings - I had LOW expectations. It seems direct-to-video is primarily what Netflix is offering these days so I thought I'd give them a go. Some were fun and funky but this one is just utter crap - be forewarned. If you enjoy frame after frame of images that are either distorted, out of focus and/or out of frame then this movies is for you. Alien Abduction started off OK but honestly, a high school freshman could pull this poor excuse for a feature-length film off.

William J. Granby Alien Abduction occupies a fairly narrow niche, utilising the "found footage" technique to tell a horror story of a lost-in-the-woods alien attack. As a result, it certainly won't be to everybody's tastes. Within the genre, I'd regard it as a hit. Although the plot is fairly generic and largely unsubtle, the production values are high and the cast put on a credible performance (with the family tensions of a road trip tangible even before the alien interactions). Found footage does not always give a lot of room for manoeuvre in terms of fright or tension technique, and the film relies perhaps-too-heavily on "jump scares". The jumps are good though, using a high-end audio/visual sudden assault – in the cinema I'd imagine a lot of popcorn would spend a lot of time in the air. There was a degree of unpredictability towards the end of the film, although ultimately because of the nature of the film and the opening scene you are already able to piece together the final outcome. Interestingly, there is a significant post-credit scene that could put a different twist on the outcome for the viewers. Overall I enjoyed it.

petarmatic I actually had a lot of fun watching this film. I did not expect a lot, but I received in actuality interesting and jump-scary horror alien film.Acting is very good, these actors almost made me think that it is a real, based-on-the-truth film. If I understand from other reviewers that this plot is only loosely based on the true events, which makes it really just a fun film to watch.I would like that US government finally comes out with the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth about aliens and what is true and what is not. There is too much different kind of what is true what is not true, many books written about the issue. It is finally time to tell to the general public EVERYTHING that is known about the issue. If you are into alien horror movies you should see this film, otherwise you could see it only as time waster.

bowmanblue Yes, it's another 'found footage' film. This time it has aliens in it (as opposed to the typical supernatural entity). Have you ever seen a 'found footage' film? You have? Then you probably don't need to see this one. You probably also don't even need to read this review, as you'll probably know/predict everything I'm about to say based on your own knowledge of the genre.We join our *unwitting* heroes – a family of five on a camping holiday in the middle of nowhere in America – as they pitch tent and generally film (possibly the best ever) footage of UFOs. As with every 'found footage' film, we're (unsubtly) informed of the reason why someone has taken to documenting every single last second of the family vacation. In this case – an autistic boy who likes to film everything. This means that, no matter how many family members are abducted or mutilated, he just keeps on filming regardless – and no one ever seems to tell him to get that flippin' camera out of their face! Another problem with 'found footage' films is that many – like 'Alien Abduction' – tell us at the beginning (and I hope that this isn't too much of a 'spoiler') that the footage was later found by the military. To me, this kind of tells me everything I need to know as to who will or won't survive this encounter.So, the aliens come and scare our family. This technologically-advanced race appears to be able to fly light years across the galaxy, yet only seems able to pick off one human one by one. Seriously, they take one family member, then just sort of go away. Now, once they're satisfied they've got one, they return, after allowing the remaining family members to get a little further closer to safety, only to snatch another one.The aliens are seen about as much as most 'villains' in found footage films. It's all shaky camera-work, so you don't really see as much as you probably want to. You get the family running, crying into camera and then more running, before the inevitable conclusion. You get to see a little bit of footage on the space ship, but, if you've seen 'Fire in the Sky' (or any X-file episode covering alien abduction) then you've probably seen scarier/better.If you like alien films, watch one you already own (because you probably own better). If you like 'found footage' films, then you probably also own a better one, too. This one just gets too daft. Seriously... when you see how high a camera can fall from and still work, you'll know what I mean (please tell me you can buy that make of camera on Amazon – I want it!).
