      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      While it boasts a handful of shocks, The Fourth Kind is hokey and clumsy and makes its close encounters seem eerily mundane.

      Jaylen S A fun little chiller although its not all that scary and its poorly made. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Regina P I can see what they were going for... but it didn't work ultimately. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Patrick C It had potential but parts were pretty dumb and melodramatic. Trying to seem real was a mistake imo, but I guess it's creative. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Glitched G The 4th Kind had the potential to be decent. But thanks to it's bad writing and clunky diolague it's a disaster! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Francisca This movie would be a hundred times scarier if they didn't remind me every 5 minutes iT's bAsEd in ReAl EvEnTs!!! 😱‼ SPOILER: i felt sorry for the protagonist, when i finished the movie i got the impression that they used this poor crazy woman's story to make this film, woman who lost her husband and daughter tragically and then she made up an alien story to help her cope. Now i think the woman never existed to begin with. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Jesse J The fourth kind to me was a really good movie I liked how they implemented like a documentary and movie combined showing Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness [The] ostensible archival footage proves so clunky and transparently phony that the entire gimmick collapses. Rated: C- Jan 5, 2011 Full Review Ian Buckwalter NPR When the director divides the screen into quadrants for his big finish, the effect is just laughable -- but then by that point, the movie is too. Rated: 3.9/10 Jul 4, 2010 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Unfortunately, none of the subsequent noise is all that scary, and the striving for Paranormal Activity's buzz is shameless. Rated: 2/5 Nov 11, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The Fourth Kind is nothing more than an elaborate hoax to draw UFO enthusiasts. Rated: 0.5/4 Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The 'Fifth Kind' is when you're stupid enough to spend your hard earned cash to view what is easily one of 2009's worst films and a surefire Razzie nominee for Worst Picture. Rated: 0/4.0 Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Filmed with too many re-creations of the shrink's videotaped sessions. Rated: C+ Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
