Rating: 5/10
The fourth Kind follows the story of a psychiatrist, Abby
Tyler who is trying to find a cause behind the extraordinary number of
unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years in Nome, Alaska. The film
claims the story is based on real events and uses real footage of Abby Tyler’s
psychiatry sessions of her traumatized patients, including an interview with
the real Dr. Tyler.
I didn’t really care
if the film was going to turn out great or not. I don’t really mind a B grade
scary movie. What really intrigues me about this film is that it is supposedly based
on a true story. It uses real footage to create realism and I thought it was a
pretty smart idea. Going in to this movie, it was like as if I expected to see
a documentary on real events.
10 minutes into this film, I was still intrigued by the
story of the film. But then, after time passed, I realized that the story is
fake and all bullshit. I felt a sense of betrayal by the filmmakers watching
the film. So I thought, alright I will watch this film as a film. It lost the
one thing that kept me interested the whole time, the fact that it is based on
real events.
When I watched this film as a film, it just sucked. The
story just got a whole lot sillier and more ridiculous. I don’t know what the
filmmakers were thinking making this film. I find it hard to believe that they
expected the audience to believe the story is true. This is a scary movie and
it did not scare me at all. It even made me laugh at times due to the silliness
of the script.
I was terrified a little when I thought the film was real
and the people were real. I kept thinking that it was real people and that
scared me a little. But when I realized it was fake, the story just sucks. The
story didn’t scare me and it lost the reason I watched the film. So it’s kind
of a lose-lose situation.
The acting in this film is not the problem. The problem is
the filmmakers involved in making this film. They are dumb and stupid. It was not
cool at all to use such a sad tragedy that really happened and make it a scary
movie. It’s a real insult to the families of the real missing persons in Nome,
Alaska. It’s also an insult to the audience. I felt like I was bitchslapped watching
this movie.
I say, do not watch this film. It is not a good horror film
and it is not based on real events. The real footage that was supposed to be real
was not real. It just shows you how dumb the filmmakers think we, the audience,
are. This film is a disgrace.
I like your review ;) It's clear and touches points (I mean not like other reviews who go: "The film shows different aspects of alien sighting" etc, so it says nothing).
ReplyDeleteBut, once you pass beyond the real / not real thing, isn't there anything else? I'm astonished bobody discussed about the thing that the true idea of this movie seem to be that the Christian God, Jesus Himself, is a monster, an evil alien.
What do you thonk about it? :)
Thanks for the kind words veone. As for the God thing, I actually didn't put much thought into it. It was kinda a random thing that the writers threw at us. When i heard the line "I am God", I was like "Ok..., This has nothing to do with the movie". If the writers wanted to make that an actual storyline in the movie, they should have gone into more depth about it, not just throw us one line and expect us to be interested. That aspect of the film means absolutely nothing for me.
