Skip it. "The Fourth Kind" is a found-footage-style alien abduction thriller that mistakes creepy atmosphere for actual scares, and the gimmick of intercutting 'real' footage with dramatizations wears thin fast. Unless you're a hardcore alien conspiracy completist, there are way better sci-fi thrillers to spend your night on.

Plot

Since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population in and around Nome, Alaska, have gone missing. Despite FBI investigations, the disappearances remain a mystery. Dr. Abigail Tyler, a psychologist, may be on the verge of blowing the unsolved cases wide open when, during the course of treating her patients, she finds evidence of alien abductions.
