ridiculous rating

Beautiful, moving film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This movie is so terrible that i legitimately took the time to download the IMDb app, and create an account just so that I could warn people not to watch this trash pile of a movie. I sat through the first 30 minutes bored out of my mind. It was so slow paced that when I fast forwarded it 20 minutes nothing new had happened at all. The interview segments were boring, confusing, and grating. Noting interesting happened until there was only like 15 minutes left of the movie, and then it was not well scripted and difficult to understand what was even supposed to be happening. All together this movie was the worst thing I've ever seen. It doesn't engross you, in fact for most of the time you feel like you're watching your old cringe worthy middle school vlogs you and your friends made to be cool. I can't believe I wasted part of my life watching this eye vomit of a movie. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.

At its best found-footage horror can be exciting, tense & scare filled but at its worst it can be…The Fifth Kind. With no redeeming features, The Fifth Kind breaks the cardinal rule of horror…don't be boring. Seriously…when are horror writers & directors going to realize that we don't want actors playing themselves. The whole reason we watch movies, watch horror is to be transported to another world. A world where anything can happen, where characters are larger then life & the situations they're in both shocking & imaginative. Watching this movie is not fun. It's not interesting, it's not good horror! This movie…its story? It is absurd. Poorly acted, poorly filmed & poorly written, The Fifth Kind has zero redeeming features. It's boring & so unoriginal everyone involved should hang their heads in shame. This story is so poor that anything would have been preferable. I want my money back.

I understand it's an indie film and usually I can push through rough acting if the story is interesting enough, but this was a snooze fest. The cutting away from the found footage to random "interviews" throughout was severely overused; anytime the tension and momentum built up, it cuts away to a witness interview or an interview with an official. Each long winded and not well acted (the interviewer is particular grating). Skip this one. There are better entries into the found footage genre worth your time.

I really enjoyed this movie! If you're in the mood for a creepy alien movie, this is it. Definitely reminds me of The Blair Witch Project and has that eerie "don't go into the woods" feel. Was dragged in by the characters story line and became invested quickly. The cinematography was well done and the effects were great and had me believing the cameras were truly glitching. Well done, guys!
