Blu B The editing isn't good and is just weird honestly. Split screens with real footage, editing in audio recordings, real footage cuts, and making it feel like were watching paranormal activity at times, I don't know it's just very distracting and odd. The acting and music is alright but everything else is subpar. This is like watching a Lifetime Horror movie. The real footage should've been saved at the end and rolled during the credits. Not the entire runtime. Half this film is real footage. Also having the cast at the start give warnings gives it like a Golden Era movie feel almost oddly. The shaky cam, direction that feels distracting at times, and just very repetitive scenes that don't really add anything. Ohh look another poscession epsiode that really doesn't add anything. We know something is going on but don't really learn anything new. There also outside of Milla's character really no character development at all. Milla also is the one good thing in this with a great performance overall. She's giving it everything she's got. Everyone else though is so forgettable or just reiterates plot. I'll give it that it's focused on the events but they just don't flow into a cohesive narrative and I question whether a feature film was the way to go with this and not a Barbra Walters hour special. It also can't decide if it wants to be a demon poscession type film or Sci-Fi thriller on top of the weird editing not including the tone. It's a interesting subject matter that deserves attention but I'm not sure this is the way to go about it. It needed heavy reworking. Skip it.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Mark C Desperate attempt to make a good movie. Making fake videos to use them in the movie and claim they are real… Makes this double fiction and just doubles the unfortunate disappointment and time wasted watching. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Gio T I stumbled on the movie while visiting a friend. I never knew its title till I looked it up recently, 15 years after I saw it. Critics who say this is not a good movie are those who are too wrapped up in pretentiously high-brow standards that they cannot simply let go and be swept away into places where movies like this one can transport its audience. Fourth Kind is an excellent movie. It doesn't just entertain you when in the theater, but the questions it raises and the dread it leaves is haunting. A mediocre movie will never, can ever, achieve that. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Ian H Dark, alien abduction movie with some menace and a strong cast. Paced nicely and well acted Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Wa T How anyone can call this magnificent movie anything but ?? Mila Jovovich is extremely talented in being able to give off an overall feeling of anxiety that the film absolutely needs to get the viewers where they need to be .The sumerian aspect I think is a pretty believable touch. I do not understand how these so called movie reviewers can give this movie such a low rating ! These reviewers obviously can't escape out of their minds somewhat and just let a movie flow through.
