In truth, what follows is less disturbing than intriguing – to audiences hip to the mechanics of horror flicks, it's rare fun to be fooled, and this one is pretty damned clever.
While there are some genuinely creepy moments, it never truly ends up as more than an average "X-Files" episode.

La Cuarta Fase (2009)
Sinopsis:
Desde los años sesenta, un desproporcionado número de personas han sido reportadas como desaparecidas alrededor de Nome, Alaska. A pesar de las investigaciones del FBI, la verdad detrás de estas desapariciones nunca ha sido descubiertas. La psicóloga Abigail Tyler podría estar cerca de resolver estos casos misteriosos, ya que mientras atiende a sus pacientes, ella descubre evidencias de secuestros extraterrestres.
Opinión:
Esta vez me voy a ahorrar el pseudo análisis mal redactado, porque me he cagado del susto con esta película, no puedo decidir si es buena o mala, pero de que me espantó de la cabeza a los pies es un hecho.
Si está basada o no en hechos reales me importa un níspero. ¿Ahora como chucha voy a dormir?
Report
Terminally awkward in the way it meshes fake real footage with faker fake footage. It isn’t required to be convincing as fact, but it doesn’t convince as fiction, either.
May be humorless, paranoid nonsense, but its biggest failure is its inability to scare.
A couple of modestly effective shocks lie in store.
Osunsanmi's big formal innovation tunrs out to be the split-screen pairing of patently bogus "archival" black-and-white video that shows alleged abductees undergoing hypnosis and color "reenactments" of same. Ultimately it's up to you, the viewer, to decide which is more boring.
By the end of its way-too-long 98 minutes, there are four things audiences will be haunted by: Jovovich's annoying, whispery monotone; silly closeups of owls; Will Patton's Z-movie turn as a grizzled sheriff, and dialogue like "It's too late to forget what you already know." Ain't that the truth.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]
Report
Personally, I enjoyed the film. The viewer partial to UFO fiction or interested in the paranormal will get more out of it than the casual viewer will. Fans of Fire In The Sky and Whitley Streiber's book "Communion" will love it. Highlights for me are the (fake) "found footage" sections which work tremendously well, less is more is used to great effect - similar to The Blair Witch in that regard.
Report
It's one thing to imply that a production involving "found footage" is real, it's very much another for a movie to explicitly state at the beginning and end that everything in the movie is real, only for you to find out later that it's entirely a work of fiction. This is why Blair Witch worked and The Fourth Wall doesn't. Here we get the usual alien abduction tropes you've seen a million times before, only much worse - with Milla Jovovich as the least convincing psychologist in movie history. Save yourself 90 minutes and watch "communion" instead.
Report
The technical aspects were brilliant. Creatively some bits are very creepy but it is very fake and unengaging.
