I was just wondering if any of you guys have seen this movie? If so, what do you think of it? It creeps me out every time I watch it and just wanted to see if there was a scientific explanation for it? It looked really convincing to me.

Yes, I have seen this movie, I thought it was entertaining but not that scary. My girlfriend was terrified the whole way through though. I honestly believe the woman in question is mentally disturbed and created an elaborate hoax. Also, note at the start of the movie the actress (can't remember her name) says certain parts were dramatised.
The kicker is when it tells you at the end the womans own son still blames her for the disappearance of her daughter, I think that tells its own story. The distortion of the camera whenever an "alien" appears or something weird is happening is also a little suspect as far as I'm concerned.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
Mila Jovovich - I'm definitely a sucker for her, HAHA! I think she was fabulous in that movie, she's fabulous in every movie she does. The Fourth Kind creeped me out, I can't watch it at night. It definitely seemed convincing to me, but I agree with Gary, I believe the woman was a bit mentally unstable. I was freaked out at the end when they listed all the places that people claimed to have seen/experienced alien activity. I don't really know how to take it - believe it or not.. It's very questionable -_-
The numbers don't lie
It seems convincing, but the truth is that the woman was mentally unstable or she was deliberately lying. Whatever she did, she is somewhat a renowned woman after this film.
I say this without watching the movie. I do not like creepy movies. Seriously, I know fearless people who were quite scared after watching The Fourth Kind. I heard that it is not scary, but rather disturbing.
The following quote is from the IMDB page on this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220198/trivia
According to promotional materials from Universal, the film is framed around a psychologist named Abigail Tyler who interviewed traumatized patients in Nome. However Alaska state licensing examiner Jan Mays says she can't find records of an Abigail Tyler ever being licensed in any profession in Alaska. Ron Adler, CEO and director of the Alaska Psychiatric Institute and Denise Dillard, president of the Alaska Psychological Association say they've never heard of Abigail Tyler. Web sites for an "Alaska Psychiatry Journal" and "Alaska News Archive" containing references to Tyler were created by the film's producers, but were outed as hoaxes when it was discovered they were registered a month before the film's release and the purported author of one of the archived news articles stated she had never written it.

Yes Tomy, it wasn't scary as much as it was disturbing definitely. I'm not easily scared when it comes to movies, until they start dealing with psychology. Movies that make you mentally 'wtf' are the ones that freak me out. 'The Strangers' is one that I still cannot watch without closing my eyes. Some people thought it was cheesy, but it freaks me out knowing it actually happened (to some extent).
Diesel, you pooped in my cereal - although it is somewhat of a relief knowing that it was basically a bunch of BS.
The numbers don't lie
The only part I found upsetting was the apparent real police video footage of the guy killing his wife and kids. I don't know if the movie was real or not but that part really shocked me. If it was all just a hoax movie the producer should explain that particular scene.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
Another quote from IMDB:
The movie's hoaxed interviews have angered the families of real missing persons in and around Nome, Alaska, for trivializing their loss. Melanie Edwards, Vice President of Kawerak Inc (an organization representing tribal peoples in Alaska) described the movie as "insensitive to family members of people who have gone missing in Nome over the years". Universal has refused to discuss the movie with that organization or with local journalists.
For who wanted to know the real story, The Fourth Kind doesn't seem to be the best version.
I really was convinced by the real footage. I had no idea that was faked. That makes it so much easier to bear. I watched this movie in the middle of nowhere and it scared me so bad I slept with every single light on in the house for a week. It was so bad it scared me more than jeepers creepers which I also watched at this place, surround by corn fields. Thanks Tomy2011 for those quotes. They helped me so much.
