Alien Abduction

The cover on the DVD looked OK, thats about the best thing I can say about this horrific movie. Where do you start reviewing this film? It's just awful. The acting, the lighting, the sound which is all over the place. You need to turn the volume right up to hear the dialogue, and then you clamber for the remote when there's any kind of explosion because its deafening! The acting was laughable, almost as laughable as the aliens. The first aliens looked like rejects from some 1960's b movie and the later aliens just looked like an old sock being pulled by a fishing rod.

0/10

I saw this film yesterday.. I thought well at first.. it was gonna be one of those good ol' B-movie.. But it turned out that it wasn't as entertaining as I thought.. It starts out good at first but then all of sudden we get sucked into what's suppose to be this alien world.. But as the film unfolded more I wanted to stop the DVD.. but I said 'Well, I'll keep on watching and see what happens..'

I don't want to give anything much away.. but I think after you watched the film.. You ask yourself 'Is it really worth watching?' I know there are other good alien B-movies out there, that are well made.. But this one was a bit disappointing..

So, I saw the film. It's a thumbs down for me.. The special effects? Well..? OK! It was worth it! But all in all, it's not my cup of tea at the end of the day.. Sorry, but this dosen't work out for me..

When you first see that film exists you curious to rent it. But when i saw it, i was convinced that there are films that you can rate with 1/10! Guys the film was awful! Bad scripts and acting are well combined to make a bad film! Although i am interesting in extraterrestrial life, this film was the worst that a director can make! The plot is stupid, the action doesn't even exist and there's a skinny woman that beats the well-trained (i suppose) military staff. Stupid disgusting moments make you puke! After that, i don't thing many of the ones that watched it have a clear mind about aliens. Instead, they put some robots who are killing without a serious reason! Please stay away! This doesn't fulfill the word 'film'!

Yes, this movie is similar to the classic of Ridley Scott in that.. uh... mmmm.. uh... well, in that they both have the word "Alien" in the title. After that comparisons fail.

Actually I'll rate it a 3 instead of a 1 because considering how incredibly low budget this was it there was actually a plot line that could have had potential. Unfortunately it got totally submerged to gore and sadism. Personally I'm not a fan of either of those; someone that is may rate the movie more highly.

The other big time miss was the acting, which was beyond pathetic. Megan Etheridge was pretty good, but it dropped off rather dramatically from her role. In fact so dramatically that I got the impression that a bunch of people that had too much to drink at a come as you are party just decided to make a movie that afternoon. There was not a single other remotely believable character in the script. Maybe this was all low budget tongue and cheek.

I don't really think it had a scary moment, just a few intriguing ones. Worth seeing if you like science fiction plots (although this is quite derivative there are some interesting twists), or sadism/gore. For all I know it will become some kind of cult film. It's almost so bad that it can be entertaining in that way as well.

I had the privilege of working on Alien Abduction. We had a tiny budget and we shot it in a week and a half. I love Sci Fi horror and psychological thrillers that are especially disturbing (a la Angel Heart, Sixth Sense and Jacobs Ladder). I think that Alien Abduction fits in at the gory, b-movie end of those types of films.

I hope that people can forgive the low budget look and see that Alien Abduction is very weird, disturbing and unexpected. It's not meant to be your usual science fiction film with high tech themes. It's more like a nightmare: Like a David Lynch nightmare. If you don't watch it through to the end you'll miss the best part of the movie so give it a chance to play itself out. Most of the reviews are damned good.

More power to the low budget world, (other wise we're stuck with a bunch of Ben Affleck movies and big budget sequels like Bridget Jones five).
