Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 04/14/2016
The doc-style found-footage approach, which almost feels like a true-crime network news magazine show at times, is a smart approach to a lower-budget sci-fi film, seamlessly weaving together fact and fiction. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 04/14/2016
Ultimately, The Phoenix Incident is more impressive for its ingenious publicity and marketing campaigns, including fake web news sites that went viral, than the quality of the filmmaking. Go to Full Review

The Phoenix Incident is a thought-provoking and frightening account of an already scary event. Go to Full Review

3/10
There are some good monster moments that, with more build up, would have been startling. We want to see more action, we don't want to read about it or hear people talk about it. Go to Full Review

06/26/2020 I mean it wasn't that great but I'd say it had a lot of potential. They could've made it a little more realistic when it came to the decisions of the guys and the camera quality was a little too poor for my liking, although I know thats how even top of the line camcorders looked in '97. They also could've used a little more of the documentary side scene things, just for a little more context and it could've used a longer runtime, as an hour is pretty short. The ending was a little confusing with that weird cut scene but either way I think 3 stars is appropriate. See more 04/07/2020 Blair Witch with aliens. Pass. See more 02/22/2020 Based on an Interesting Incident, Okay Acting. See more 02/26/2019 Actually did it a great job with the special effects with all of the Jets and started from when we also the Phoenix lights. I am trying to dig deeper find out if there really was for guys that went missing. I waited for the credits and all of the parents are there as them selves. I don't think the video is true except for the military shots but the real parents were on there. IT'S ALL A MYSTERY See more 07/23/2018 WOW. Really intense and really disturbing. Even with the unfortunate explicit launguage, this one might be better then Phoenix Forgotten..... 3 and a half stars to 4 stars. See more 05/14/2018 not as good as Phoenix forgotten See more Read all reviews
