Alien Abduction

I won't go into any details as it is not worth wasting more of my time on this crap, just avoid this movie like the plague.

It is pathetic and a total waste of time.

Bad acting, no plot, ridiculous special effects, no sense of direction, this movie has all the worse things you can imagine in a movie and much, much more.

If you want to see a good movie of this genre try watching Alien or The Abyss.

Avoid, or else you will lose 90 precious minutes of your life which you will never, ever get back!

I thought this film had a lot of good things going on. While hampered by it's budget, and no-doubt brief shooting time, it has a really solid cast especially it's lead. Megan Lee Ethridge is really strong, and carries the dramatic weight of the movie amazingly well. I really liked a lot of the trippy visuals - those times when the director had a little elbow-room to get experimental. There were some great images & editing - good and truly disturbing stuff. The Kafka-esquire bureaucratic nightmare of the facility really came across and was one of the most effective elements, I thought. The underlying ideas of the script were also strong - a nice twist on traditional alien abduction themes. And, of course, the gruesome splatter was a grand hoot! Every good horror movie should cross the line at least once, and I thought the "sperm donor" scene was delightfully over-the-top fun! I really liked how the twist-ending & reveal played out, and I thought it elevated the piece as it wrapped it up.

While it showed some rough edges, and could have been edited tighter for it's pacing, I thought this was a good first effort and shows great promise for it's director.

I had the privilege of working on Alien Abduction. We had a tiny budget and we shot it in a week and a half. I love Sci Fi horror and psychological thrillers that are especially disturbing (a la Angel Heart, Sixth Sense and Jacobs Ladder). I think that Alien Abduction fits in at the gory, b-movie end of those types of films.

I hope that people can forgive the low budget look and see that Alien Abduction is very weird, disturbing and unexpected. It's not meant to be your usual science fiction film with high tech themes. It's more like a nightmare: Like a David Lynch nightmare. If you don't watch it through to the end you'll miss the best part of the movie so give it a chance to play itself out. Most of the reviews are damned good.

More power to the low budget world, (other wise we're stuck with a bunch of Ben Affleck movies and big budget sequels like Bridget Jones five).

After being abducted by aliens while on a camping trip with some friends, a girl named Jean wakes up in a military hospital, with hundreds of other abductees. Soon she learns that not all seems to be right in this hospital, that strange experiments are going on, and that she won't escape unless she discovers the terrifying mysteries of the hospital. Sounds like a pretty cool premise, right? Well it is, and this could have been a good movie, had it not been for an obvious lack in budget. The lead actress who played Jean, Megan Lee Ethridge, Is very good and deserves better roles. The other cast members are so-so, no one really stood out and the actor playing that creepy cackling scientist who likes to dissect aliens was just awful. The special effects were really bad. The monsters (which we only see brief glimpses of and are often confusingly shot) are sloppily done and the gore effects were simply laughable. There's one rather interesting twist involving the location of the hospital towards the end but it was too little and too late. Below average at best. 3/10.

The cover on the DVD looked OK, thats about the best thing I can say about this horrific movie. Where do you start reviewing this film? It's just awful. The acting, the lighting, the sound which is all over the place. You need to turn the volume right up to hear the dialogue, and then you clamber for the remote when there's any kind of explosion because its deafening! The acting was laughable, almost as laughable as the aliens. The first aliens looked like rejects from some 1960's b movie and the later aliens just looked like an old sock being pulled by a fishing rod.
