The Wicksboro Incident

The film started off really slow and meeting up with a guy to tell us his story at first he gave the impression he was crazy about aliens driving all over the place and using the thing he made up. But when they started getting followed and had to change cars it got better and when he did manage to persuade them to go out and look for the shelter on the night they still thought he was crazy untill they did find it that's when they took him serious u won't say anymore than that you have got to sit and watch it no matter how bored you get it also proves the USA cover up what we are not suppose to see even at all costs life or death

This movie is nothing short of pathetic. It has a boring, drawn out, inscrutable beginning that makes it hard to bother continuing to watch it at all.

I suppose it is someone's idea of cinema verité. It has all the amateurish production values of The Blair Witch Project but with none of the suspense.

There is no ending to speak of at all . . . yet I was glad to see it end. Truth is, being a die-hard, I set my DVD player at 1.5X speed about half way through . . . just to see my evening of pain end all the more quickly.

A complete waste of time.

Who makes this stuff?

The setup of "The Wicksboro Incident" is quite good. An old guy, supposedly an electrical engineer who in the 1950s worked on a secret government project hidden away in a bunker, in the small town of Wicksboro Texas. His story is that he is the sole survivor of a government cover-up and that Wicksboro vanished after he fled. The return to Wicksboro by the old man and two documentary filmmakers reveals that there is no evidence remaining, and the entire town, along with the clandestine project is gone. Eventually a startling discovery is made. Using divining rods they locate and uncover the old underground laboratory. It is at this point that the wheels come off, and the story degenerates into nonsense, most of it with a hand held camera at night. The first half would make an interesting episode of the History Channel's "U.F.O. Hunters", the second half will do nothing more than induce headaches. - MERK

im sorry but this is way better than crap like 13 ghosts,freddy vs jason or any of the Texas chainsaw massacre prequel/sequels, i admit the ending was a bit lame but so was Blair Witch and i still enjoyed that.

I applaud the film-makers as at least it was an original idea compared to Hollywoods habit of hiring hacks to re-ruin great horror movies of the 60's & 70's, i mean seriously what is peoples problem with this film? just because it is laden with CGI special effects a lot of the viewing public seem to switch off but i still rate this much better, these guys did a great job for next to no money and the acting wasn't that bad either. well worth a look in my opinion

Anytime you watch a movie like this, you have either seriously forgive its flaws, in this case an ultra low budget and some serious borrowing from Blair Witch Project, and suspend your disbelief, or you just simply pick it apart. In this case, I chose the former and really enjoyed it. It did have some serious flaws and you have to REALLY give yourself over to the whole "conspiracy theory" ideology to make the movie work. In its favor it has great pacing and, unlike some commenter, the second act was fairly strong with a 100-yard dash like pace and great tension build up.

Overall, though, this movie did keep me on edge and my heart rate accelerated. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to people who enjoy the US Government/Alien conspiracy genre.
