Watch Alien Abduction For Free

Powerful

Overrated and overhyped

How sad is this?

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It doesn't start out with much promise, introducing us to the most obnoxious, fake and unlikeable characters that make the entire film feel phony. I mean, it's 2014, have some people still not learned how to make a decent horror film? For example, one of the most overused clichés in horror is the moment when one or more of the characters, usually kids or youths of some description, see that scary thing, tell the grown-ups whose response is always "You kids are crazy, there's nothing out there" . Enhance the drama, have them believe the kids. But in the end, that's the least of the film's problems. Scares are few and far between, it's hardly chilling with only a few interesting moments. Don't bother.

This is a POV film shot entirely through the eyes of a minor who admittedly has autism. No, seriously. The only reason I forced myself to make it to the end of this film is because I spent the day vegging on B movies with low IMDb ratings - I had LOW expectations. It seems direct-to-video is primarily what Netflix is offering these days so I thought I'd give them a go. Some were fun and funky but this one is just utter crap - be forewarned. If you enjoy frame after frame of images that are either distorted, out of focus and/or out of frame then this movies is for you. Alien Abduction started off OK but honestly, a high school freshman could pull this poor excuse for a feature-length film off.

When it comes to films that i haven't heard of, Alien Abduction was one of them. Being a found footage horror fan, i was interested to see what this movie had to offer. I am a fan of the Alien sub genre in the horror department and although Skinwalker Ranch (another found footage alien horror film) had its moments i still felt like it missed an opportunity. However, where Skinwalker Ranch fails and Alien Abduction succeeds, is in the tension that the movie manages to create while never really letting go. You can feel the characters panic and you sense a genuine feeling of terror whenever the Aliens are on the screen! It never gets side tracked in any side stories, which gives the feeling of a relentless assault in a very strong fashion that wont allow you to catch your breath. Being a low budget horror film, it was a very impressive looking. The acting was good and the characters, although cardboard cutout, were not so unlikable that you couldn't stand them. Overall, its a simplistic film that has tricks up its sleeve that you have seen before, but its simplicity done very well, therefore managing to create something both fun and scary!

Yes, it's another 'found footage' film. This time it has aliens in it (as opposed to the typical supernatural entity). Have you ever seen a 'found footage' film? You have? Then you probably don't need to see this one. You probably also don't even need to read this review, as you'll probably know/predict everything I'm about to say based on your own knowledge of the genre.We join our *unwitting* heroes – a family of five on a camping holiday in the middle of nowhere in America – as they pitch tent and generally film (possibly the best ever) footage of UFOs. As with every 'found footage' film, we're (unsubtly) informed of the reason why someone has taken to documenting every single last second of the family vacation. In this case – an autistic boy who likes to film everything. This means that, no matter how many family members are abducted or mutilated, he just keeps on filming regardless – and no one ever seems to tell him to get that flippin' camera out of their face! Another problem with 'found footage' films is that many – like 'Alien Abduction' – tell us at the beginning (and I hope that this isn't too much of a 'spoiler') that the footage was later found by the military. To me, this kind of tells me everything I need to know as to who will or won't survive this encounter.So, the aliens come and scare our family. This technologically-advanced race appears to be able to fly light years across the galaxy, yet only seems able to pick off one human one by one. Seriously, they take one family member, then just sort of go away. Now, once they're satisfied they've got one, they return, after allowing the remaining family members to get a little further closer to safety, only to snatch another one.The aliens are seen about as much as most 'villains' in found footage films. It's all shaky camera-work, so you don't really see as much as you probably want to. You get the family running, crying into camera and then more running, before the inevitable conclusion. You get to see a little bit of footage on the space ship, but, if you've seen 'Fire in the Sky' (or any X-file episode covering alien abduction) then you've probably seen scarier/better.If you like alien films, watch one you already own (because you probably own better). If you like 'found footage' films, then you probably also own a better one, too. This one just gets too daft. Seriously... when you see how high a camera can fall from and still work, you'll know what I mean (please tell me you can buy that make of camera on Amazon – I want it!).
