Movie Reviews: The Fourth Kind

The film not to have a close encounter with this weekend, most critics warn, is The Fourth Kind, which is set in Nome, Alaska but which was actually shot in Bulgaria -- documentary style, like The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.

It’s about a supposed invasion of aliens who terrorize the good citizens of Nome.

Like its predecessors, says Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel, "The Fourth Kind is a fraud, but that wouldn't matter if it were scarier and better acted."

Writes Joe Neumaier in the New York Daily News: "Badly acted by everyone (including the director, Olatunde Osunsanmi, who appears onscreen), this insipid jumble's idea of fright is incessant screaming."

I saw this today. I didn't think it was that bad. I liked it more than Paranormal Activity.

From what I've heard on this movie it doesn't look like something that was going to grab the mainstream.

I will check it out.
