In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. Modern-day, Alaska, where-mysteriously since the 1960s-a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWhen so many films are bad in lazy and ordinary ways, it's refreshing to occasionally see one that fails interestingly. |
| UGOJordan HoffmanThe Fourth Kind may have more unmotivated booms in its mix than any film I've ever seen. |
| Mania.comRob VauxAs Truth, it's bullshit, and as Bullshit, it isn't remotely entertaining. |
| BDK ReviewsKevin McCarthyThere are three scenes in the film where I slowly brought my hand up to my mouth and became teary eyed because I was so frightened. |
| Sci-Fi WeeklyMichael SzymanskiFrankly, this movie is quite scary when it's viewed with the idea that this is the film version of creepy disappearances that are really happening in Nome, Alaska. When it's not that, it's almost laughable. |
