Movie Review - The Fourth Kind

If you want to see a film that is slightly different from other in your 'film-to-see' list, well this is the one for you. Based on the actual case studies that situated on Nome, Alaska, 'The Fourth Kind' shows us an intriguingly thriller+horror+fiction+sub documentary film that highlights the research of Dr. Abigail Tyler on the mysterious Alien abduction cases in Nome around the year 2000.

What attracts me is the way the director, Olatunde Osunsanmi actually blends the 'actual footage' of the case alongwith the 'film footage'. This create more spooky kind of situation that remind me of the film 'Blair Witch Project'. Moreover, I really enjoyed the cinematography technique and stylish editing in the film especially during the interview and the transition between the actual footage to the film footage. Although the film did receive a lot of bad critics, for me, the plot in the film was nicely done and if, if this case studies were real, I must say, the production crew must have worked really hard to get it done, because making film out of facts is not an easy task to accomplish.

But somehow, I didn't really recommend this film for those who love to watch fast flowing action movie that doesn't require them to think much since the film is a bit slow in plot and requires the audience to think about what happen to the people there in Nome.

rate : 4/5.

ps: After what have been said and done in the film, the case of study validity is still being questioned by the critics. Is the case true? I don't know, it's for you to decide after you watch this film.
