Alien Abduction (2014)
Complete crap
I rarely ever write reviews for movies, but I hated this movie SO MUCH that I felt compelled to write one. I was shocked to see so many positive reviews. I would not have expected even a single one. The aliens looked fake, the acting was absolutely atrocious, and there was no suspense at all.
Firstly, the movie starts with the ending, so within five minutes you will already known what happens to the family that the story revolves around. Sure, this has worked in some movies, but not this one. This alone totally ruined it for me. Why do I care about watching this family stumble around the woods for an hour and a half when I already know the fate of each and every one of them?
It also didn't help that the entire film is filled with poorly written dialogue, with even worse actors spouting the cliché lines again and again. At one point, the family encounters a backwoodsman, who actually tells them, with a heavily laden southern drawl, something along the lines of, "There ain't no help around here, lady, you're in the deep woods!" Noooo, really?
I only gave it a 2/10 instead of a 1/10 because there are a few scenes that will make you jump. And I'm pretty sure the only reason I jumped is because I have an irrational fear of aliens to begin with.
Overall, this is a movie to skip. Found footage movies are normally bad anyway, but this one is just plain old garbage!
