The Fourth Kind In Theaters November 6 2009
Ok, something that seems interesting will be hitting theaters November 6: The Fourth Kind, a new "based on actual events, hell yeah" alien movie set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where—mysteriously since the 1960s—a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year.
In this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.
Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.
I concede that I am definitely not an alien movie fan, but since District 9 came out, I have been more and more enclined to explore the flavours that the genre offers. And I like these movies that intertwine different styles. And Milla J.
Check the trailer, and see what you think.
