Story Line: A psychologist carries on her husbands work after he dies in an attempt to understand what happened to him and what has been happening to his patients. It is discovered through taping video taping the sessions that the patients are being abducted by aliens and it is causing them to have anxiety and fears.

The Good: It's a good concept but.......

The Bad: The whole movie stunk of fake. It doesn't matter about the claims of actual footage used. Comparing the re-enactment footage to the "actual" footage using a split screen image and over lapping the audio ummm... yeah too much of a distraction, it made the whole movie hard to follow. Plus more than half of the actual footage was messed up or hard to see, that always means the footage is real right?

The Ugly: The movie starts getting advertised and out come the websites with recent creation dates claiming this all really did happen and there were some authentic looking web sites out there but also their registration and creation dates gave them away. Yet no mention of Dr. Abbey Tyler on any other website prior to the movie coming out. You would think with all the alien abductions and sightings people see and talk about that this story would be one of the most told ones of all time. I mean it was happening to a whole town and you would think the locals in Alaska would know something about it. Let's not forget the disclaimer of how everyone involved didn't want to come forward to talk about it on camera, how convenient for the movie budget.

Overall: I can't believe I paid $10.00 to see this movie.
