    A must for UFO/B-movie fans and anyone who wants to believe!

    Pretty slow for a while, but once the guy starts to recall his abduction, the awesome fx commence. Pretty twisted, I'm sad it didn't comprise the entire movie.

    an underrated gem of a film that never really made it big about a group of loggers who claimed an alien abduction happened to one of their number. the build up is slow and well crafted while the final half hour is a scary climax. one of robert liebermans few outings as director o...( read more)utside of a television series or made for tv movies. it stars henry thomas "elllliott" and robert patrick... (badass terminator in judgement day or agent doggett towards the end of the x-files) as well as kathy wilhoite who has had one of the most varied acting careers going. watch it if you dare! it's not really scary, just solid and creepy... as in don't watch it just before ya go to sleep, or do?!!?

    An ordinary man is abducted by aliens and violated. When he returns home, nobody believes his tale. He is traumatized for life. Disturbing. Raw. Ouch! Well-done but hard to watch.

    Alien abduction story presented in documentary style that will appeal to fans of The X-Files. Like me.
  • November 8, 2009
    An underwhelming film. It's filled with annoying characters that I didn't care for. It seems very B-ish, though. An uninteresting film, really. Though the ending scene with the aliens was the best.

    Travis Walton and the truth
  • October 17, 2009
    Definitely tone of the better films I've seen concerning alien abductions rivalled only by the X-Files, the main thing which made it interesting of course was the fact that it's based on a true story. Good stuff.
