Alien Abduction. To be honest I found this quite a difficult film to understand, and by the time I got the jest of what was happening, I had become bored.
I'm usually a big fan of anything like this, but this film was done possibly to clever for its own good, It was quite confusing, who was who? What was what? And where were they all sounds good on paper, but it was so confusing I think they confused themselves and it killed the film.
I don't think it was based on any kind of evidence, just some writers thoughts of how, an alien abduction would be like, and an attempt at a possible reason and answer as to why.
The film itself, is about 4 adult friends on a camping trip, leading character Jean, thinks she has spotted something, whilst walking around the site with her camcorder, after originally disbelieving her, she and her friends are thrown into a panic as a creature appears from the woods,
The following scene is somewhat similar to the camcorder scene from the Blair Witch Project. Flashes of people running, bits of trees and screaming noises. And then quite. The friends have been abducted.
Jean finds herself in a Military hospital, but soon learns it's more of an interrogation unit. Where abductees are being ill treated, tortured and even lobotomies are being performed on uncooperative patients.
From there on in, she has to work out is she insane? did it really happen?, are the military for real? And who are the real Aliens.
These questions and more are eventually answered, but I found it far to difficult to follow.
Rated 18.
I have listed the extras, but I have not watched them, as I lost interest, So please only rate as film review. But of course this is only my opinion, and you really must judge for your self.
