    Fun alien horror filmy.

    I actually had a lot of fun watching this film. I did not expect a lot, but I received in actuality interesting and jump-scary horror alien film.

    Acting is very good, these actors almost made me think that it is a real, based-on-the-truth film. If I understand from other reviewers that this plot is only loosely based on the true events, which makes it really just a fun film to watch.

    I would like that US government finally comes out with the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth about aliens and what is true and what is not. There is too much different kind of what is true what is not true, many books written about the issue. It is finally time to tell to the general public EVERYTHING that is known about the issue.

    If you are into alien horror movies you should see this film, otherwise you could see it only as time waster.

    Scared the bejesus out of me

    How on earth does this film have a 4.8 average? I know some people automatically pan "found footage" movies, but give me a break. This is beautifully executed, tense as hell, and worthy of your time. The camera work deserves special mention, managing to both look like camcorder footage and serve as a clinic on how to work in low light and brilliant light to excellent effect. The sound design is brilliant as well - I watched this with headphones on and found the experience entirely immersive. In short, if the plot description interests you, don't be swayed by the low rating. This is a fine flick, as good as any found-footage film I've ever seen, and it's one of the scariest films I've seen - found-footage or not.

    Movie was pretty good and worth watching for alien fans

    Just watched the movie and i thought it was pretty cool for an alien abduction movie. I can't understand why some of these people are giving it such bad reviews. If you don't like alien movies then don't watch it. I bet you could ask these same people giving bad reviews, what alien movies do they like and they prob can't mention any. @IndieDavid says in his pathetic review that the camera lasts for several days on one battery, well the movie only goes for one 1 day and 1 night and the child charges the camera at night. So Indiedavid didn't even watch the movie he just wants to turn people off a movie he has never even bothered to watch.. I am pretty harsh on all movies so 6/10 is pretty good review for me.

    Better than you'd think

    Let me start by saying this: I rate movies based on the genre, acting and technical work. I might rate a sci-fi 10, and then go on to rate The Shining 9. Different genres has different criteria!

    Now for Alien Abduction.

    I don't scare easily, so when I started this movie, I were expecting some cheap laughs, and no real horror-moments.

    Well, I have to say I were fooled!

    This movie actually succeeded in scaring me several times, and the acting is pretty good.

    I thought I'd had enough of "found tapes" movies, but I definitely want more now! I rate this 7, because it's one of the better movies of the genre.

    Worth a watch!

    4.8 is a little rough!! I think this movie has a lot more about it than people assume

    Now, I've only seen this movie once. And I plan to again at some stage, I actually went looking for it and got it confused with another movie that had a similar name. There's a reason it stuck out to me. You will find me covering my ears and eyes when it comes to ghost type movies, I still love them regardless, but alien movies are my favourite. They also hardly ever scare me because monster movies and aliens are my favourite genre. I can enjoy them without the suspense and anxiety of a big jump scare . It takes a special kind to make me clutch my chest because my breath got caught in my throat, Signs did it the first time I watched it, but it's quite tame in retrospect and I can enjoy it now without batting an eyelid

    but this.... This freaking movie, made me jump so high in some parts. It's creepy, which I think the found footage helps establish that overall feeling because you don't know what's gonna jump out. The story may be a little lame but overall i felt it did what it was designed to do. Dark skies also can give off a similar vibe. It's all in the delivery for me! I don't think it gets enough credit! I get it if you aren't into found footage, you may not enjoy it, but if you want something a little less known and you love aliens , it may pleasantly surprise you!

      Firearm error: The action, report and sound of shell casings are characteristic of a centerfire rifle, not a .22 as depicted in dialogue and on camera. In addition, the holes made by the weapon on the door were far larger than are typical of a .22 or any commonly used handgun or rifle.
    • Crazy credits
      There are two extra scenes during the credits. One related to the movie. The other is a series of clips of interviews with people talking about their experiences with the Brown Mountain Lights.
