Heyy.. it was so in the dictunary the last time u told me to look.. and it was still ther just now... on the same page too, and didnt have changed !!

why r u making lies to people when aliens aer landing in america ?? dont u think that is a bad things to do ? I mean, think about what u r doing !!

Thats just wrong and cruel..

stop it.. it is so in the dictunary..

btw, dos anyone know if this video is real or not ? Im scared of it if it's real, but it looks real.. I think is real, no one can act thats good and scared like they are.

Its obvious really.

My name is Sarah, and I recently took several days off work with the flu. I live in Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, Australia and this film was played on Channel 7 as the midday movie. I saw this movie on my third day away from the office, and it terrified me. Not because of the scenes portrayed, but because of the terrible acting. On the other hand, I laughed myself silly. That they tried to pull this off as real was very amusing to me. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Ok, so let us put this to rest.

The movie was a fake. A total fake. I know it states at the beginning of the film that the video was taken by "a 16 year old boy that wanted to record his family's thanksgiving dinner" in 1996 but at the end, the credits clearly state that the characters were played by other people. Also, the credits clearly state that aliens 1, 2, 3 and 4 were played by [insert actors names here].

Personally, during the film I found it very obvious that the film was scripted and acted out. The very first give away was when the sister introduced her new boyfriend 'Matthew'. The eldest brother 'Kurt' immediately refused to shake his hand, and glared at him with much hate and distrust. When they walk outside to investigate the power failure, you can clearly hear him grumbling that the sister "should have told us he was black". This was so obviously scripted - they needed to build some sort of conflict within the family, some kind of sterotypical mistrust.

The second thing was the aliens themselves and I don't mean just their shoddy appearance. Their actions were very cliché and predictable. One of the first things you see the aliens do, is walk over to a cow and point its laser instrument at the cow, (it's just one of those silly hand held laser pointers) holding the instrument steady as though gathering some sort of data from the instrument(although you cannot clearly see the cow, you can gather from the dialogue that it's supposed to be a cow). When the family sits down to dinner later after much yelling, screaming, panic and confusion, we see an alien walk very calmly right past one of the glass doors where the camera just HAPPENS to be pointed. Later, when everyone hears the aliens are on the roof, the boy filming just HAPPENS to get outside in time to see a leg slowly withdrawn into the upstairs bathroom window. The scene in the bedroom when the boy is changing his pants is really quite off putting, but fairly obvious. The alien appears to be curious about the camera and its function, yet later in the movie, they seem to know exactly the function of it and they turn it off with a wave of the hand.

Other obvious signs include the fact that all the males go outside, for whatever reason and don't come back. The little girl taking on the role of the reassuring parent is a bit much, as is her calm and knowledge of what is going to happen. That she, a child of no more than 6, takes two shells out of the shotgun while everyone else is out of the room, while the camera is resting there and just HAPPENS to be pointed directly at her, wathcing her easily disarming the firearm, only makes you wonder how the writers thought this script could possibly be passed off as 'real events recorded in 1996'. Everyone having physical symptoms of something strange simultaneously - another give away. Another thing - supposedly the little girl goes into another room while everyone else is trying to be calm in the dining room and plays the piano while the adults tell her to stop, they have headaches - only in the film you hear nothing. No piano playing. "Did you teach her to play that song?" LOL. Gimme a break. I wonder if they simply forgot to edit in the piano music, or if it was supposed to symbolise something else. Oh well.

There is a lot more to the movie, but all of it very obvious.

Anyways, if you're looking for a laugh, WATCH THIS MOVIE!!


Please note: where I've 'quoted' dialogue, please bear in mind that I was just going from my memory and it may not be exactly what the script said.

I always thought it would have had a better reception if they had played it from the start as a 'reenactment' of the 'abduction. Then, announce that "Experts are examining the original tape, and we will have their results at the end of the film."

At the end, as they do the 'big reveal' either have a "network executive" break in, proclaiming the whole program a hoax engineered by some disgruntled staffers, or the'aliens' somehow monkey with the reveal, and the show's "hosts" are left with nothing but questions.

Or, the hosts, guests, and mybe the crew are all abducted!

"Yes, it's the Apocalypse alright. I always thought I'd have a hand in it."

You can tell it's a fake because the camera guy leaves his camera on, when he could have turned it off. It was deliberately left on so you could see the little girl taking the bullets out of the rifle. And if I was that camera guy, I wouldn't leave the camera on and point it in the direction of me changing my trousers. And also by the fact that the credits list all the actors and the set design crew.
