Igor Freitas Not that I expected much of this movie anyways, by looking at the upper half of the poster we can already expect a low budget, "amateurish" kind of movie. The market is saturated with hand-held camera filmed "documentaries", and since these kind of movies are easier to make, there's a whole lot of garbage out there. Unfortunately (or not) for me, I sometimes come across a really impressive title so I am constantly digging out for more. And since I'm also I am a fan of aliens and alien theories, this one got my attention. It's always a gamble though, since the majority of these titles are obscure and you can never be sure if they will be good or not. This one did not fit the bill at all. The only good thing about this movie was the acting, better than I expected. But the movie is simply boring and not worth the time spent watching. The storyline is only original if you haven't heard anything alien-related. I mean, really, anything. If you lived in a hole for the last 70 years, watch it. Otherwise, not recommended.
bjjnedan "Documentary,", about some old crazy person, a cameraman and his lover, friend, business partner, whatever, investigating a town that completely disappeared off the face of the planet 45 years ago. Turns out, that crazy old fraud was right.Anyways, this isn't a documentary, and anybody that thinks this is real should do the world a favor and take their own life. Anywho, this would've been a great, groundbreaking, thrilling little film if it were made in the early 90's. Now, it's just boring. There was nothing thrilling about it. I don't know. I mean, it really could have been something cool if something, anything worth half-a-sh*t happened. Nothing did. I found is humorous that this old crazy person could detect aliens among us with a toy her bought at K-Mart... My girl asked me, "Is this real? Did that really happen?" Of course I said, "Of course this is real, and that did really happen, just not in Texas. It happened in Kansas. The actual name of the town that disappeared is Chanute." Chanute is a town 20 miles away and it's still there. Knowing she knew of this town, since it's where we met, I scrambled and came up with a story about how this happened to Chanute in whatever year the movie said and Chanute was rebuilt in it's entirety in the late 70's. We were both born in 84.At first she was shocked, then she figured out I was full of sh*t. Probably because I was laughing at her when she seemed to believe me. I got a little off base. I just felt the need to tell that story. Anyways, back to this waste of time, yeah, well, um..., nothing happened. A car crashed, a guy got shot. Story over. Again, I must say, this movie really could have been very thrilling. Had the love triangle that starred in the film decided to confront one of the aliens that they detected with the Fisher Price thinger, or if there was..., well..., something that happened. It seems like the director was really trying to pass this thing off as real. The sheer logistics of making a town and all of it's inhabitants completely disappear off the face of the earth, with no one being none the wiser, even in 1953, is extremely, highly improbable. All it takes is one person moving away after graduation in '52. However, if you can suspend your common sense for however long this thing is, it's still not good because nothing happened at all. This is one of the most boring horror/sci-fi/thrillers ever made by anyone, anywhere, ever. If I were to film my Rat Terrier humping my neighbors Darth Vader lawn gnome, it'd be more thrilling, and more sci-fi, than this movie. His wife coming out on the porch in her nightgown to shoo my dog would make it more horror.
wandering-mind im sorry but this is way better than crap like 13 ghosts,freddy vs jason or any of the Texas chainsaw massacre prequel/sequels, i admit the ending was a bit lame but so was Blair Witch and i still enjoyed that.I applaud the film-makers as at least it was an original idea compared to Hollywoods habit of hiring hacks to re-ruin great horror movies of the 60's & 70's, i mean seriously what is peoples problem with this film? just because it is laden with CGI special effects a lot of the viewing public seem to switch off but i still rate this much better, these guys did a great job for next to no money and the acting wasn't that bad either. well worth a look in my opinion
curtis martin "The Wicksboro Incident" might have been a small sensation had it been released a decade ago, before "The Blair Witch Project." Then again, maybe not. For one thing, "Wicksboro" wouldn't have existed if not for "Blair Witch," seeing as how it is a blatant rip-off--the same faux documentary homemade style, same basic story with UFO's tossed in, even some virtually identical scenes. But Wicks doesn't carry the gimmick to any kind of surprising, or even logical conclusion, and lacks the "this really happened and we found this footage buried in a hole in the ground" thing that made its predecessor so compelling. (I won't spoil the ending for you, but let's just say that where "Blair" had an eerily ambiguous ending, Wicks barely has one at all). And it doesn't help that there's only 30 or 40 minutes worth of material to fill its 90 minute length--a lot of repetition and worthless footage that any real documentarian would have edited out, further killing the illusion of reality. Maybe if you've never seen Blair, you'll like Wicks to some degree--if you have a remote with a greased fast forward button.
