Bound to vanish as quickly as a fleetingly glimpsed UFO after a few close encounters with paying viewers. Go to Full Review

If you're going to go the found-footage route, you might as well try to find a new way to approach the material. Beckerman has. Go to Full Review

Alien Abduction is a great movie. While it does have a lot going against it, you need to trust me on this one. Go to Full Review
Carolyn Cox The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017
The events that inspired the movie are more believable than the essential conceit of found footage. It sacrifices the story to constantly insist otherwise. Go to Full Review

Alien Abduction isn't done poorly, per se, but it's not at all entertaining. Go to Full Review

Hagrid S Nov 24, 2018 Was on cell for most of it but it didn't have scares and looked like a slow build.
Jun 2, 2018 It's always risky with found footage films. They can either go the way of Blair Witch or look like something made in a high school media class. Unfortunately this film is the latter. I didn't feel emotionally connected to any of the characters - especially the character holding the camera, you never see him until almost an hour into the film and that's only for a few fleeting seconds. I always make sure to watch films until the end, even if they are bad. Alien Abduction completely lost my interest and had me browsing Facebook and tinder from about 10 minutes in. Finally, the ending. This is the ONE redeeming bit of this film. I won't post any spoilers but.... it make sense. However, it doesn't look like they've run out of money and used a "cracked screen" effect from Windows Movie Maker. Netflix has this listed as 4 stars. Personally, I'd rather spend the 75minutes I wasted on this film dragged my eyes through broken glass... See more
Harry M Mar 5, 2018 Terrible movie, terrible acting, terrible plot! I get soo furious when you watch a scene that clearly has looming danger, one where any sane human in reality would freeze in fear or run a mile away from the situation. The scene at the tunnel with scattered items and open door cars, it's absurd to think a sane person would find safety there. The entire scene and movie in general is devoid of commonsense. Then you have the mother who thought it would be wise to try and run out the cabin when those creatures were CLEARLY out there, with lights still shining upon the cabin. Every scene boils up my blood. Everything was ridiculously unrealistic & incomprehensible! See more
Poe R Feb 22, 2018 Abysmal. I could give my 8 year old a camera, ask them to run around the back garden, tripping over branches, screaming & shaking, hide in our log cabin with a flashlight.....throw in a few shaky, out of focus shots of our toy aliens, and we could create the sequel !!! What a waste of time. Exactly has everyone has stated previously, it's as bad as the Blair witch project, but with bright lights & glimpses of aliens. See more

Finn S Jul 30, 2017 better then I thought it would be
