Area 51 Confidential

Usually not a huge fan of the over saturated found footage kind of horror film. Personally I feel it's run it's course and is dying a slow death. But that being said, it doesn't mean that there still can't be hidden gems within this style of horror. This is one of them.

To put it simple, it had a little something different, giving it it's own stand out charm and not just another run of the mill kind of film.

Acting is always key in this type of film because if you don't care about the characters, the movie fails. The acting is strong but it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a fun film and the acting lends to that.

This movie follows the same genre as all of the rest of the "Alien" movies. These are just worn out clichés that really destroy any critical thinking about Area 51 and the formally top secret government military installation and "aliens" in general. This particular movie is neither interesting nor entertaining because it is just the same as all the rest. The movie poster art is very cool however. This is fortunately listed as a work of fiction which is all it truly is, but I just wish that they could have added some more realism to make the story more believable. Sooner or later somebody has got to put out a much better art project on Area 51 for the public to ponder and not just keep using the same old boring format.
