Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County

If you're like me and find that you like blair witch style horror films, you'll like this. When I say blair witch style horror, I mean it in the sense of a first person rawness. Just to defend these films, its not the fact that it makes you think it's real that makes it so appealing, it the fact that its not some high budget 'hollywood blockbuster' with a samey storyline that is only scary cos it makes you jump!!!

Back to the film, the story is about a family who are settling down for thanks giving when the power goes and the only light is a strange bright one outside. When they go to investigate, they find its an alien craft and they have been spotted by its crew. They then spend the rest of the film defending their house and family from an alien attack.

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.

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 is the way I figure it. This movie is made to be like what people would assume a realistic abduction tape would be like. If you were to find a real tape containing footage of aliens invading someone's home and eventually abducting them, this is the way the director thinks that tape would play like.

It's not a real documentary, but a movie made about what a documentary on this topic would be like.

Get it? Anyway, I really liked it. I saw it 8 years ago when I was 10 and now I am finally seeing it again now that I can understand that it's fake. I mean, the oldest brother is from the movie Wrongfully Accused. :P The cameraman acts exactly the way I would've acted if I had a camera during that particular situation. I would never want to miss a beat because I would know that my footage could possibly change the way the people of our world think about life in our universe. The people asking him to turn off the camera were being irrational and selfish.

The effects (though cheap) are effective in that they get the job done. You know it's a ray gun as soon as you see it. The ball of light worked just fine imo. Many people say "oh but it didn't reflect or reveal any shadows". All I have to say to this is that the beings that created the light are not from our planet, and perhaps this planets rules of light does not apply to everything they have.

The ending was great, it really tied the whole thing together.

Anyway I am terrible at reviews but I am giving this a 7 out of 10. The only reason it's not getting an 8+ is because the dialogue is a bit cheesy at times, and the reactions are a bit cliché'.

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.
