There's a movie on its way that, for those that have seen it, has caused quite a stir. Called The Fourth Kind, it revolves around the true story of an unsolved mystery in Alaska where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances. If the film is to be believed, this was caused by aliens.Switching between "real" footage of the psychiatrist (Dr. Abigail Tyler) who looked into the alleged alien abductions in Nome, Alaska - and Milla Jovovich playing the role of Tyler - the film uses "real" footage of Tyler's videotaped sessions with traumatised patients where we discover some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.
Or do we? Many are questioning the validity of the Tyler story and whether the extraterrestrial events are the by product of a clever Fourth Kind marketing campaign. Even the Anchorage Daily News recently claimed that Nome's disappearances were probably caused by the high rate of alcoholism combined with the harsh landscape surrounding the town.
However, Christopher C. French, who teaches in the psychology department at Goldsmiths College in London, has also revealed that the alarmed state of the patients in the movie match real-life reactions of people who believe they have been abducted by aliens.
Whatever you believe, you should watch this just released featurette below that shows the different kind of encounters with extra-terrestrials and incorporates some of the "real" footage from the film.
The Fourth Kind will be in cinemas from 6 November.
