Are there any people on this board that believe this movie is real? - The Fourth Kind (2009) Discussion

U have to be kidding! If this footage was real, this will be like on a Discovery Channel special episode or something! This would be like the most shocking and important thing ever happened in our society!

If this was real we would never be informed, this would be set as classified for not to panic the world, instead of showing this on a HOLLYWOOD MOVIE!

I caught part of this film on HBO recently and came here to check that it really was fake.

I had a feeling it wasn't right and thought it was heading into psychological territory with her re-inventing her husband's death which I did guess from fairly early on.

What did fool me was the end credits where they did that documentary thing of saying where all the people are now.

i'm a little surprised at the hostility towards the "real" abigail tyler, she was the ONLY thing that kept me from thinking the movie was fake. to me, she looked and sounded like someone who was under incredible stress from her condition, her missing daughter and the impossible and unexplainable things she witnessed. as far as her looks go, i got the impression she was never a decently attractive woman to begin with so the strain she was under made her apperance more believable to me.

The obviously fake "real" footage gives it away as being completely fabricated, even if you already know that this sort of thing is generally made-up hoaxes in the first place, or taking real events and inventing a spooky backstory that never existed.

It seems that the movie is banking on the fact that somebody might believe it to be based on a true story, rather than being an inherently interesting and fascinating piece of fiction (like the movie Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind was).

I guess they were hoping for the success of Blair Witch Project, where some people actually believed the footage to be real.

If they hadn't used the blatantly fake "real" footage (and maybe just stuck with some interviews), they might have fooled a lot more people and had a more compelling movie.

Charlotte Milchard did a good job as the "real" Dr. Tyler.

Before this movie came out, Milla said that she was playing a real person. The scenes and actors in the movie may be fake, but the doctor and story are not. It is you choice to believe or not what happened to the doctor in real life. The problem is you don't know how much is based on real events and how much was made up for the movie, but the doctor is real, just not showed in the film.

I'm not going to argue about the validity of the movie, but I am going to say that the 'supposed' taped scream of the Doctor while she's sleeping (45 minutes in) has got to be the most terrifying scream ever recorded. It makes my skin crawl everytime I hear it.

this movie is the equivalent of aliens just saying "zip" , "zoip" , "zubzab" , "boik" , "zab" . makes no difference to me, bunch of nonsense, I cant believe my friend actually believes in aliens too and thinks this film is real.......i hope this lady is not someone who is actually free out in the streets, because in that state of mind someone should be put in the loony bin.
