Omer Levent The film was different from general similar types. In general, in such films, the monster is found in the last 10 minutes and all characters die. There is no such thing in this movie. I liked the difference for that.Other than that, Riley, who holds the amateur camera in his hand, sucked on the character. The character was not even counted. The cameraman had better put it directly. It was a stupidly created character expected to be so silent and believed to be autistic.Apart from that, it was given the opportunity to show the aliens in advanced technology more powerless to escape the film. This is bottoming out realism.The movie was definitely not realistic. It was not nice either. Scared was a film that gave a sound effect and a sudden performance like all American horror movies.I gave it 4 because the score is different only from these movies and because the tension is not too boring.

rich52 I had to give it a 5 out of 10 because it is the best hand-held video-cam movie I've seen yet. The characters seem real, and likable, and the performances are pretty good. This beats the daylights out of Cloverfield and every other "found" video I've seen. There are actually some aliens in this one and the effects are fairly well done. The video quality is also the best I've seen so far. Even though the scenario has been used all too often, this one has, all I've seen so far, beat hands down. Is it a great movie? No. Is it a good one? No. But it is fair. It is entertaining and, if you like the found video types, it is worth a look.

William J. Granby Alien Abduction occupies a fairly narrow niche, utilising the "found footage" technique to tell a horror story of a lost-in-the-woods alien attack. As a result, it certainly won't be to everybody's tastes. Within the genre, I'd regard it as a hit. Although the plot is fairly generic and largely unsubtle, the production values are high and the cast put on a credible performance (with the family tensions of a road trip tangible even before the alien interactions). Found footage does not always give a lot of room for manoeuvre in terms of fright or tension technique, and the film relies perhaps-too-heavily on "jump scares". The jumps are good though, using a high-end audio/visual sudden assault – in the cinema I'd imagine a lot of popcorn would spend a lot of time in the air. There was a degree of unpredictability towards the end of the film, although ultimately because of the nature of the film and the opening scene you are already able to piece together the final outcome. Interestingly, there is a significant post-credit scene that could put a different twist on the outcome for the viewers. Overall I enjoyed it.

bowmanblue Yes, it's another 'found footage' film. This time it has aliens in it (as opposed to the typical supernatural entity). Have you ever seen a 'found footage' film? You have? Then you probably don't need to see this one. You probably also don't even need to read this review, as you'll probably know/predict everything I'm about to say based on your own knowledge of the genre.We join our *unwitting* heroes – a family of five on a camping holiday in the middle of nowhere in America – as they pitch tent and generally film (possibly the best ever) footage of UFOs. As with every 'found footage' film, we're (unsubtly) informed of the reason why someone has taken to documenting every single last second of the family vacation. In this case – an autistic boy who likes to film everything. This means that, no matter how many family members are abducted or mutilated, he just keeps on filming regardless – and no one ever seems to tell him to get that flippin' camera out of their face! Another problem with 'found footage' films is that many – like 'Alien Abduction' – tell us at the beginning (and I hope that this isn't too much of a 'spoiler') that the footage was later found by the military. To me, this kind of tells me everything I need to know as to who will or won't survive this encounter.So, the aliens come and scare our family. This technologically-advanced race appears to be able to fly light years across the galaxy, yet only seems able to pick off one human one by one. Seriously, they take one family member, then just sort of go away. Now, once they're satisfied they've got one, they return, after allowing the remaining family members to get a little further closer to safety, only to snatch another one.The aliens are seen about as much as most 'villains' in found footage films. It's all shaky camera-work, so you don't really see as much as you probably want to. You get the family running, crying into camera and then more running, before the inevitable conclusion. You get to see a little bit of footage on the space ship, but, if you've seen 'Fire in the Sky' (or any X-file episode covering alien abduction) then you've probably seen scarier/better.If you like alien films, watch one you already own (because you probably own better). If you like 'found footage' films, then you probably also own a better one, too. This one just gets too daft. Seriously... when you see how high a camera can fall from and still work, you'll know what I mean (please tell me you can buy that make of camera on Amazon – I want it!).
