Leofwine_draca ALIEN ABDUCTION is another predictable found footage movie exploring the titular phenomenon. It's supposedly based on a true story and would have you believe that what you're watching really happened. Sadly, none of this film amounts to very much; it's a bit like SKYLINE but without the aliens or the fun. A vacationing family encounter a spacecraft at their cabin in the woods, but all you ever see is shaking camerawork from the running protagonists and bright lights shining in through trees and windows. The dialogue amounts to endless screaming and there's no real plot develop here, just characters darting around from one place to the next. I found it all rather tiresome and shallow.

Takeshi-K Alien Abduction is an Alien themed found footage film and of this much maligned sub genre, its a very good film. The film involves a typical American family going on a road trip up Brown Mountain (North Carolina), where reports of glowing lights in the sky have been reported by many believable witnesses in real life. This of course forms the background to the film, as well as some of the plot's subject matter. The actors in the film are all excellent and do a believable job. I don't get why some of the other reviewers panned this film; perhaps they have grown tired of the found footage sub genre. I thought this films was definitely one of the better found footage films out there. If you've never seen such a film before, this is a good place to start.

svartamoln I really liked this movie despite all the bad comments I've read so far and the low score got on IMDb. Well, alien movies are something that really thrill me and scare me at the same time, the simple idea of facing extraterrestrial beings knowing you can't fight them terrifies even the bravest man on Earth.First of all I'd like to emphasize the fact that aliens usually attack when the night falls but in this movie they show up even in the daylight , so it doesn't matter if it's either night or day, you can't hide from them. Second, I got scared several times while watching the movie, I admit I get scared easily with this kind of movies, but I was totally terrified wishing the movie to end soon, not because it was awful but because I was really scared. Third, I really appreciate the fact this movie haven't involved the typical group of friends that go camping and are suddenly attacked by aliens, they usually try to play superheroes roles when they are not.Finally 4.8 stars is a little unfair for a movie that really scared me a lot, so if you like aliens you're gonna love this one and try to avoid watching it before going to sleep, just in case.

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!).
