The Fourth Kind
The existence of u.f.O.s and aliens has always been controversial. nonetheless,
there are still plenty of believers out there. a sighting would qualify as the first
kind and collecting evidence as the second. The third kind would be contact (yes,
just like in the Steven Spielberg classic), while the fourth kind is actual abduction.
Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative fact-based
thriller set in modern-day nome, alaska, where over the past 40 years a dispro-
portionate number of the population has been reported missing. using actual,
never-before-seen archival footage, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revela-
tions of multiple witnesses. Their accounts all share disturbingly identical details,
the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.
