Alien Abduction

Yes, this movie is similar to the classic of Ridley Scott in that.. uh... mmmm.. uh... well, in that they both have the word "Alien" in the title. After that comparisons fail.

Actually I'll rate it a 3 instead of a 1 because considering how incredibly low budget this was it there was actually a plot line that could have had potential. Unfortunately it got totally submerged to gore and sadism. Personally I'm not a fan of either of those; someone that is may rate the movie more highly.

The other big time miss was the acting, which was beyond pathetic. Megan Etheridge was pretty good, but it dropped off rather dramatically from her role. In fact so dramatically that I got the impression that a bunch of people that had too much to drink at a come as you are party just decided to make a movie that afternoon. There was not a single other remotely believable character in the script. Maybe this was all low budget tongue and cheek.

I don't really think it had a scary moment, just a few intriguing ones. Worth seeing if you like science fiction plots (although this is quite derivative there are some interesting twists), or sadism/gore. For all I know it will become some kind of cult film. It's almost so bad that it can be entertaining in that way as well.

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.

0/10

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.

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!

If I said this film reminded me of a few student films I've seen, I'd have to apologize to the student film makers. The not so special effects make the beginning a cheese festival. If you check my past reviews/comments i think you'll find I tend to allow a fair amount of creative license.

If you have a few hours to kill and you are willing to approach this movie with a wink and a nod, to simply put all expectations aside and try to buy in to the story there is some enjoyment to be had. But trust me, every minute or two you'll be bombarded by 'student film' announcements, props and costumes look cheap and only marginally like they belong.

Give the story a chance....... I think you'll be pleased you did.
