The Wicksboro Incident

This documentary starts out odd, and seems very suspicious at first glance. It has to be watched in it's entirety from beginning to end before anyone has the right to place judgement. Fast forwarding is a sign of being narrow minded.

A strong understanding of Area 51, and other related government cover-up theories makes this documentary one to watch to the end. Are they here among us? With the chaos, and very confusing times we are facing today, it is quite possible.

The world is supposed to be "more highly educated" everyday, yet we are still seemingly slipping backwards at an alarming rate! Why? Jeremy

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

Not that I expected much of this movie anyways, by looking at the upper half of the poster we can already expect a low budget, "amateurish" kind of movie. The market is saturated with hand-held camera filmed "documentaries", and since these kind of movies are easier to make, there's a whole lot of garbage out there. Unfortunately (or not) for me, I sometimes come across a really impressive title so I am constantly digging out for more. And since I'm also I am a fan of aliens and alien theories, this one got my attention. It's always a gamble though, since the majority of these titles are obscure and you can never be sure if they will be good or not. This one did not fit the bill at all. The only good thing about this movie was the acting, better than I expected. But the movie is simply boring and not worth the time spent watching. The storyline is only original if you haven't heard anything alien-related. I mean, really, anything. If you lived in a hole for the last 70 years, watch it. Otherwise, not recommended.

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
