Are there any people on this board that believe this movie is real?

I got proven that it was fake and the apparent "People" it happened to were paid actors and that "Real" Abi Tyler is an actress born from Britain called Charlotte Milchard... still a good film though haha

while it was obvious that the actual footage was fake, I did not know whether those people existed in reality.

thanks IMDB for enlightening me!

The interesting scenes are distorted to create a cheap sense of authenticity..

A ship sank at the end of the movie Titanic!

LOL I came to read the reviews because a work colleague told me she is certain this was for real. So I guess some people believe this was true, few of them will reply the post saying they believe so though.

I could understand if someone was fooled by the first few "archived" scenes. But when that guy's mouth distorts & he starts levitating...that right there should tell everyone that all the footage was part of the movie. Even the footage where the guy kills his family & himself was very suspicious. How could they ever get permission to use "real" footage like that in a movie? The other footage seemed legit but I didn't think it was real. I didn't believe people would allow their "hypnotic" sessions to be used in a movie like that. Maybe for a documentary but not for a movie.

Overall, I thought those scenes were distracting & unnecessary. They didn't really add anything for me. I will admit that I wasn't sure if the film-makers were taking stories told by people who really believed them or if they made the whole thing up themselves. The pictures of the "real" missing daughter at the end was an interesting touch though. The opening & closing with Jovovich were weird as was the FBI statistic. I think this kind of stuff crosses the line from trying to fool the audience to flat out lying. It seems a little desperate to do something new & convince the audience of its authenticity. Whether or not it failed is really up the individual viewer.


DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

So I literally just watched this movie for the first time. I did zero research so I actually believed that the "actual footage" was actual footage lol. Except obviously the scenes where you had the UFO or when something paranormal happened. I noticed those scenes didn't have "actual footage" written so that basically gave it away that it was fake. But I believed in the interview and the other hypnotization scenes. (I somehow missed that the interviewer was the director of this movie lol)

The "actual audio" with aliens speaking was hard to believe though. I believed the screams but that's pretty much it.

Well, of course it's not true. Anyone can see that. The 'sessions' that people have with 'Dr. Tyler' are about as reliable 'evidence' as Scientologists 'auditing' people and discovering that they were once Roman 'courtesans' or flying a spaceship 75 trillion years ago.
Still, it's not a bad film - apart from Milla Jovovich's way of whispering her lines rather than saying them. This is more irritating than having your child abducted by a white owl with a Sumerian God-complex. A much better film 'about' alien abduction is 'Mysterious Skin.'

I didn't know anything about this movie before hand, so i believed it was based on a real story. Needless to say that, the movie got me good, i had chills i was totally captivated by the Sumerian voices. I didn't think for one instant that this was faked, the way they used the old footage to fool you was really good.

I got on Wikipedia, and was surprised it was a hoax, i was so disappointed that i couldn't read up more on the cases. I gave it 8/10, i would of liked to see more of the aliens.
