The Fourth Kind

I saw this film on 9th November at Stratford Picture House


An odd juxtoposition of supposedly original footage and real-life characters with the actors representing them. Many of the important characters still alive refused to take part in the film which surprises me not a lot. I am rather glad there is no other place like Nome (their moto!). The alien theory was almost convincing for me until the revelation of what had really happened to the dead husband. The film also provides an unfortunate if insensitive and possibly unintentional explanation of what might have happened to some of the children who have disappeared without trace in recent years, although I have not yet seen any press mention of owl sightings.
