The Fourth Kind
Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi
Since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population in and around Nome, Alaska, have gone missing. Despite FBI investigations, the disappearances remain a mystery. Dr. Abigail Tyler, a psychologist, may be on the verge of blowing the unsolved cases wide open when, during the course of treating her patients, she finds evidence of alien abductions. From TMDB

60 of 77 · most liked firstMy teenage friend's favourite movie was The Fourth Kind, a fictional alien horror movie that presents itself as a dramatized recreation of true events. I googled it and had to tell her it wasn't a true story, and she was very upset that a movie would lie to her. I think about this often lately.

neutral · AI labelView post →Horror movies are cool to me because everyone has their own fears, so a movie that one person thinks is silly might deeply terrify someone else. My horror movies that absolutely TERRIFY me specifically are: The Fourth Kind Smile I'm talking terrified, takes a week for me to stop being jumpy
positive · AI labelView post →The aliens in The Fourth Kind! You never see them, the movie just suggests what they look like, so you can form a vague image but nothing concrete. You *do* see what they do to people though, and it's some of the scariest stuff I've ever seen put to film.
positive · AI labelView post →This is giving The Fourth Kind. This movie is better though. #FrightClub
neutral · AI labelView post →I was homeless for a while in my early 20s. At one point, I used the last of my money to buy a theater ticket to a midnight showing, just to get out of the cold for a while. That movie was The Fourth Kind, and it freaked me the fuck out. Especially when I had to go back out into the night after.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm gonna have a bitch now. Was watching The Fourth Kind on Amazon Prime and there's on-screen text at the end of the film but Prime's 'up next' suggestions appeared by default and I couldn't read it. We had to remove 'up next' to read the text. Hate it when streaming services do shit like this.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love this movie so much. This was my first intro to Milla Jovovich and my queer little ass was obsessed. Then when she did The Fourth Kind, I was hooked and I watched anything she did.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reading this only makes me hate The Fourth Kind more than I did writing this thread. The directors, writers, and cast could’ve done something real with this movie and they did the exact opposite.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Fourth Kind It's honestly not a bad movie for what it is. It's a bit over the place but I feel like that's very intentional and even with that it wasn't hard to follow. An ok watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been reading this on my Kindle. Finally, I was able to pick up a paperback in NYC at Barnes and Noble. The cover is still freaky. The story behind it is insane and scary. It reminds me of the movie called The Fourth Kind. #booktalk #books
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember when that movie The Fourth Kind came out but I had no idea how elaborate a deception it actually is, goes further than any found footage horror in trying to trick you into thinking its found footage is real
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fourth Kind (2009) This is a weird one, cause like, it's not a very good movie, but it was still effective? I definitely got chills and was freaked out at times, while other times I was chuckling at stilted dialogue and bad acting. #MoviesWithVlad

Personally, I adored you in Event Horizon (along with The Fourth Kind, probably the most unsettling movie ever) and The Tudors. Will miss that smile. #jurassicpark #samneill #ripsamneill #eventhorizon #thetudors

positive · AI labelView post →The Fourth Kind is almost a good movie? It’s got some spooky images that I like but the format is stupid lol, pairing the “real footage” with the “dramatization” side-by-side at the same time is so needlessly silly that it breaks the illusion for me.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie The Fourth Kind did a number on me when I was younger. I was paranoid af, scared to look out windows bc I thought I’d see an owl, scared to look up in the sky and see an UFO. It messed me up for a long time. My mom and granny had to talk me down bc I was spiraling
positive · AI labelView post →I sat in a cinema when The Fourth Kind was released. The couple in front of me were terrifed. I finally got to watch the film a few years later. Cinema on a first date is a big call.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Fourth Kind was a really scary but great movie!!
positive · AI labelView post →I do not know anything about this and I refuse to look it up. Holy fuck. 😳 They tried something similar with The Fourth Kind a few years later, but it didn't work as well. (Still a good movie tho.)
positive · AI labelView post →Agreed! I'm not a super huge horror fan but, I do love sci-fi horror (Alien, Predator, etc) and of course, found footage horror (Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, Apollo 18). Scariest movie I've ever seen is The Fourth Kind but that would be because I have a specific phobia of alien abduction lol.
positive · AI labelView post →I thought the owl on the movie poster for The Fourth Kind looked pretty cool. Then a few months later Diamond Eyes by Deftones came out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok. We haven’t been able to watch a spooky movie every night, but we have watched some good stuff. So far, Taking Lives, The Fourth Kind, The Purge, The Others, Iron Lung, The Backrooms, I’m sure I’m missing one or two. Please share your scary movie recs. I own all of Peele’s so leave those out 1/2

Before i saw it, i came into IMDb intending to read the comments of this movie, to get an idea of what it was like. The first one was along the lines of: don't research it, just watch it.\ \ So i stopped reading, and did.\ \ I started watching it just before i was going to bed, at 1:30am, just to get a quick preview, because i intended to watch it the next day. I was instantly interested, and by 3:15 i was terrified, but then i…

neutral · AI labelView post →Do any of you remember that movie THE FOURTH KIND with Milla Jovovich? It begins with a PSA with Milla herself saying everything you were about to see in the movie was true (it wasn't, the producers were sued) and there was a post-script at the end telling you to do your own alien research.
