I don't understand all the hate this movie is getting. As a long time movie lover - I enjoyed it ... it kept me wondering "What happened?" even if I might "think" I know, I still wanted confirmation.

As a long time movie lover - I enjoyed it ... it kept me wondering "What happened?" even if I might "think" I know, I still wanted confirmation. I can admit, 'found footage/mockumentary' films have been beaten to death these days, but this is something a bit different and doesn't sit in the horror section like most do.

I guess my only real complaint is I am still rather left wondering ... "Ok, now what?!!" I wanted more - I wasn't really satisfied with the ending, but that's just me. I still wouldn't shrug this film off - It's different and the acting in it is pretty well done, for a split second one might even think "Was this based on a true story?" and yeah sure 'parts' are ... but it even had me wondering if 3 kids went missing back in 1997 and was used also as a backbone for the film.

All in all if you like mystery mixed with sci-fi, thriller, suspense (I wouldn't really say 'horror') then this is a good movie to check out. It'll keep your attention, it'll keep you guessing and the execution is well done along with how the movie was filmed.

I'd also like to note something here, this is my first time ever reviewing a movie, as most of the time I rely on other people's reviews - But I'd check into what some of the users who've down voted this movie are into before going by their review alone.… Expand

Not even close to how bad people are making this out to be. Realistically I'd rate it a 6.8/10, but the average is far too low.

Realistically I'd rate it a 6.8/10, but the average is far too low. This film is better than "Blair Witch Project", "Paranormal Activity", and most found footage films that it has definitely been influenced by. It has a very interesting documentary style thrown into it with surprisingly convincing accounts and interviews from the actors . It also has some very convincing actual found footage execution with some great 90s nostalgic tones and visually decent UFO effects/sounds in the climax though takes a long time to get going and ends extremely abruptly. The one thing i continue to not understand with some of these UFO/Extraterrestrial films is the fact they don't show actual alien beings when most of the story is surrounding their existence/phenomena. Thats why films like Signs and Fire in the sky will remain the classics go the genre. I have watched most found footage films released and this film is definitely one of the better executed and and interesting entries and the ratings are completely unfair. If you're a fan of UFO's, you should definitely watch this.… Expand
