Alien Abduction

I saw this film yesterday.. I thought well at first.. it was gonna be one of those good ol' B-movie.. But it turned out that it wasn't as entertaining as I thought.. It starts out good at first but then all of sudden we get sucked into what's suppose to be this alien world.. But as the film unfolded more I wanted to stop the DVD.. but I said 'Well, I'll keep on watching and see what happens..'

I don't want to give anything much away.. but I think after you watched the film.. You ask yourself 'Is it really worth watching?' I know there are other good alien B-movies out there, that are well made.. But this one was a bit disappointing..

So, I saw the film. It's a thumbs down for me.. The special effects? Well..? OK! It was worth it! But all in all, it's not my cup of tea at the end of the day.. Sorry, but this dosen't work out for me..

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.

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 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!

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.
