The 5th Kind

At its best found-footage horror can be exciting, tense & scare filled but at its worst it can be…The Fifth Kind. With no redeeming features, The Fifth Kind breaks the cardinal rule of horror…don't be boring. Seriously…when are horror writers & directors going to realize that we don't want actors playing themselves. The whole reason we watch movies, watch horror is to be transported to another world. A world where anything can happen, where characters are larger then life & the situations they're in both shocking & imaginative. Watching this movie is not fun. It's not interesting, it's not good horror! This movie…its story? It is absurd. Poorly acted, poorly filmed & poorly written, The Fifth Kind has zero redeeming features. It's boring & so unoriginal everyone involved should hang their heads in shame. This story is so poor that anything would have been preferable. I want my money back.

At 11:08 you can clearly see a man playing pool at the bar to the untrained eye this seems normal however later on you learn this man is actually a hunter. Is this a plot hole or a deeper conspiracy watch the movie and decide for yourself

This movie is so ridiculously bad that it's shocking that anyone ever thought this was going to turn out even tolerable. The acting is dreadful, the plot is nowhere to be found and it doesn't even begin to make sense. The film has some of the most horrendous acting ever. It's a generic found footage film except it spices the formula up by making it extra dreadful. They managed to take a dump on any merit the original concept of found footage ever had. LIKE WHAT IS EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE GOING ON!? Miss this one.

I understand it's an indie film and usually I can push through rough acting if the story is interesting enough, but this was a snooze fest. The cutting away from the found footage to random "interviews" throughout was severely overused; anytime the tension and momentum built up, it cuts away to a witness interview or an interview with an official. Each long winded and not well acted (the interviewer is particular grating). Skip this one. There are better entries into the found footage genre worth your time.

This movie is like a nice ocean breeze across a long stretch of beach.
