One more of the horrors that is based on true events. If you want to enjoy in this movie, please see it now and do not read what is about to follow(as one of the imdb comments stated).

Now lets begin. This movie could be awesome, but few things got in the way. First one of them is Paranormal Activity, with the similar style of directing and storytelling, so compression is inevitable. And in it Kind losses. Second one is the so called based on the true events premise. This time I believe that nothing that we saw in the movie is true or remotely true. Everything is fabricated, from the “actual” footage, “real” persons and ending with the story itself. And what really bugs me is this attitude of the director to make this a testimony of the events that happened, in the beginning of the movie the actors tell us that the story is true and bla bla. The studio was sued for fabricating news and sites to promote the event as true. Anyway, enough of the bashing, lets get back to the movie that I think would be a huge success if it has been done as an actual movie and not in this movie/documentary style. The story centers on the Alien abductions in a small town in Alaska and the consequences of them. As far as the “movie” parts of the flick everything is good, the suspense, action and the sinister vibe, but the documentary part is kind of annoying, since it is not actual footage. If you accept its flaws this flick will be great, just try not to get to worked up about it as I did and everything will be fine.
