Alien Abduction

I guess the military is issuing .38 Specials now. It looks like they are also printing important since on stock white paper and taping them to walls. Here and there you feel oddly privileged when one of the signs in laminated.

The problem with the movie is that they tried to show too much, far too much, just like Alien Autopsy. And they didn't have the budget to back it up.

A simple white light from above would have worked better for the abduction scene. Better not to show the audience at all. But that is the story with the entire film, not just that one little piece.

It would have been far better (especially given that most of the acting was sound) if they had simply kept the aliens in the shadows, played it as if it could have all been a dream, and spent the special effects budget on making the sets look believable.

Instead they wanted to show the aliens, the eerie space ship background, and that killed the movie. Don't show your cards if you don't have a decent hand, the movie would have been better if it bluffed its way through.
