Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County

The very first time I saw this movie, I saw it on TV, it freaked me and my sister out so much. We thought that it was a real video tape that was being played on TV. We loved it so much, we would show all of our friends it, and then they would be scared to. We thought that it was real. I remembered this awesome movie for that past 6 years now. I never forgot about it. Then a few days ago, I was talking to a friend, and they told me that the video wasn't real,it was just a movie. I didn't believe them at all, so here I am finally discovering for the first time in 6 years that it was fake. Wow. It was an awesome movie. It had be fooled, of course I was 11 when I saw it, so....

I first saw this movie on Sky Digital here in the UK.. I am aware of it being a fake but I still liked it.. I liked the way it's made to look like a home movie.. This makes it seem more realistic and I like the way it's made to seem unscripted.. This gives it a raw genuine look and feel.. I also liked the way they had segments which cut away from the movie with people commenting on the footage.. I take this movie for what it is. A fake made to look real.. I like it none the less.. Also I have to keep commenting for up to 10 lines due to the 10 lines minimum law.. So Er yeah like I was saying I like this movie because it's a movie I enjoy and movies that I like to watch I enjoy watching...........

This film is an absolutely brilliant idea executed to perfection. The actors are superbly convincing from beginning to end. I first saw it under the belief that it was supposed to be an actual incident - and this is how the film was intended to be seen. It was years later that I realised it was a film not an actual record of events. Perhaps it is because of this that I found the film so convincing, but it is well worth watching even though you have seen that it is not a record of an actual alien abduction. However, the impact of the film will be lost on you. This does not diminish the skill of the film at all and I congratulate all concerned on conceiving the film and in carrying it off so convincingly.

I actually quite liked this film...except for the aliens. They looked like crap. But it had some nice scenes in it. They just were too ambitious with the special effects. As for the guy on here complaining about the credits n stuff, so what? Its a TV movie, and as such aint gonna get the publicity Blair Witch got, so its only right the people who did it get the credit they deserve. Besides, its a movie. MOVIES HAVE CREDITS!! Sure, in the movie they're gonna say it was real, but I doubt the producers ever tried to convince anyone it was.

Yes, it was cheeeeezy. Yes it was fake. Was it a little bit fun? Absolutely. I mean, what were people expecting? A **REAL** documentary from someone's home about an alien invasion?? It was at least creative.

If something like that were to happen, (and I don't mean alien invasion, but maybe a home invasion) do you think that it would be advertised for a week? Look at the Elian Gonzalez story. It was on the news before morning coffee.

It's a 90 min long sci-fi thriller. People take things way too seriously.
