I really didn't like their scheme for 'marketing fiction as truth' to get people excited and interested! This movie doesn't give the impression of true events, it blatantly tells you 'Actual footage' while nothing even happened, what a lie! I think this is offensive to the viewers, a scam!

worst movie i've ever seen

"The Fourth Kind" sets up the scary, shared abduction premise and then falls flat on its face with the directorial choices of split screen and claimed "real" video snippets of abductees under hypnosis. All of these decisions are wrong and frustrating. It's probably because the claim of "real" footage is so blatantly ridiculous here. The footage is a little scary but why reproduce something with Mila Jovovich supposedly acting it out as opposed to the real thing?!? Did she have one more film to do to fulfill her contract? If you want to watch an effective, curious alien-abduction movie, just watch "Fire In The Sky" and call it good.

not the worst but also i just found the entire splicing of the found footage exhausting and not scary in the slightest so not the best either. i had friends recommend this to me and i'm kind of sad it didn't give me the scares it gave them.
