BUT. . . while it's not at all an alien abduction story, all those poor colonists on LV-426 got their butts abducted, then impregnated, then blown apart, then eaten, then incinerated in a mushroom cloud the size of Nebraska.
Bummer. #aliens

Can't move, can't breathe, and you KNOW there's somebody in the room with you, you can feel it, if only you could just turn your head, but you can't...
Fun times.
I can only imagine that slightly-less cosmopolitan folk might not be familiar enough with the medical terminology and simply think they're being abducted (or possessed by demons-- they're all the same stories anyway). #aliens

Each one has truly been the most horrible and terrifying experiences I have ever had. Having done a lot of research on the subject I also came across a lot of scientific information connecting "abductees" to people who actually have the condition we suffer from. Brain scans of sufferers show that it doesn't matter if the experience was "real" or not; the memory of it resides in the same part of the brain where real traumatic memories are stored, and with a stronger ability to create greater stress inducing recollections than real traumatic experiences.
I hope you grow out of it like I seem to have!

if alien space weasels had descended in the first 10 minutes and killed everyone in the film, it would've been a better movie because it would've been shorter. #aliens

On the surface it's a low budget crap-fest, but ArcLyte is right, something about it really scares.
It's filmed Blair Witch-style with a handheld camera and is about a family in a remote US ranch, who one night notice strange lights and noises outside. One by one they go out to investigate, while the lights flicker, the TV starts going wonly and the obligatory kid starts babbling some weird language.
It's also interspersed with straight to camera interviews with "experts" who talk frankly about the tape (in that way that actors pretending to be experts do). Nice touch.
Have a watch! #aliens

I kinda want to see all these movies now because I absolutely refused to as a kid. If there was any hint of evil aliens involved I refused to watch it. #aliens
