"The Gracefield Incident" sports some impressive special effects in key scenes, but remains yet another found-footage thriller where the dialogue feels phony, the nonscary action is tedious and the images are artless.

[A] feeble, somewhat amateurish if enthusiastic retread.

So formulaic and unoriginal that its poster should accompany the dictionary definition of derivative ...

What's frustrating about The Gracefield Incident is that it's not just a bad movie, but it offers a glimpse at the sort of ingenuity that would have elevated the film above its tired subgenre.

Rated: 1.5/5

We're left with a film that, besides the hook, lacks a lot of originality. It all adds up to an experience that's not liable to leave a huge impression after it's over.

It's a bit goofy at times... but overall The Gracefield Incident is a smart, well-made and surprisingly scary little sci-fi thriller with a huge amount of heart and an interesting twist on a well-worn concept at its core.

Rated: 7/10

The characters spend 90% of their time just yelling each other's names. I spent most of my time just wishing they'd all die. Someone decided to use YELLOW balloons for a creepy factor, instead of the red ones that Pennywise in IT had. Don't bother.

Well, this is bit weird. While this movie is ridiculous (many things don't add up) it was hard not to keep watching. The special effects weren't bad at all and it was a bit creepy. I laughed numerous times at things they did while making this movie that were super obvious mistakes. Like, how can balloons fly when they're filled with air from your lungs? Lol. Or guy has camera in his hand pointing at the ground but every time they show his perspective through the camera, it's shooting up at the person he's speaking to. Lots of that kind of stuff. Also, I felt like I was watching completely different actors when they were not in the scene but you could hear their voice vs. when they were on camera. Can't explain it but it was very odd. Off camera, they were horrible but on camera, some of them weren't so bad. I'm so confused by this film lmao.

I have an extremely high tolerance for "dumb, but fun" movies, but this one was too much. A lot of frantic yelling "Go, go, go" and "Run!", followed by immediate contradictions of plans, strategy, and logic. Ugh.

2 and a half possibly. If your looking for a more modern found footage horror/general found footage film to restore your faith in the genre this isn't it. It is eye popping and has great visuals at times.

Parts Of It Were Perfectly Timed In Terms Of Achieving A Scare-Jump Reaction. I Personally Found It A Reasonable Good Mix Of Sci-Fi & Story. It Had Clearly A Low-Budget, So A Need Was Required To Get Clever With The Suspence; Channeling The Blair Witch Project Camera Work, It Does Effectively Freak You At Times..It's A Great Idea, But Very Hard To Do Well, Even With A Big Budget (Such As Cloverfield) ..But All In All, I Felt This Did Okay. Doesn't Go Overly Long Either, Which Also Helps.

Another sci-fi movie with aliens where mankind is represented by its most stupid individuals.
