Fantastic!
Excellent but underrated film
As Good As It Gets
The acting in this movie is really good.
Im not going to waste to much time on this film...what are people thinking when they say "scary" are you kidding I've seen scarier care bear movies, the acting is shocking the whole think is soooo set up and I mean my 15 year old brother could make more realistic alien's in his school lessons...! Don't waste your time unless within 20 minutes of watching you want to split your sides with laughing due to the bad acting and the shoddy effects...! SPOILER - I mean at one point after the blokes see the aliens they actually sit down to eat a meal? Would you do that? And also through most of the house scene the mother is still carrying a glass of wine, think I would have dropped that a while back if anything was near real??
I have often wondered if there is more to this story than meets the eye. It appears as fake, and maybe so it is. However,there are elements of truth wrapped up in a supposed work of fiction.I believe it to be based on fact. Every time I see it; I see something that I didn't catch before. Don't get me wrong; Hollywood and other studios do great magic with the paranormal; but I also know that truth can be painted as fiction to reduce hysteria.Having been an experiencer from the age of four and had my own encounters with the greys in the 80's; I felt the hair on my neck stand up on end watching this film. There was a sense of familiarity that I don't find in other works of fiction relating to the greys.The memories of that night of when they came for me flashed back in this film. I have watched films like 'Signs', and others of the genre, but none really touches base like this one.
i seen the film last night, it freaked me out, it looks so real and is one of those films where you don't go for a pee until the end, i thought it was real happenings until the end when the characters names came up which confused me. so id like to know.. has there actually been a real abduction of the McPherson's and this was just a live remake of the what happened or is it just a load of bull? because you only ever here of things like this from Americans, abductions always seem to happen in America, however if anyone knows if this is a film based on true events and the McPherson's are actually missing, please post a return with info.. thanks!
I was bored one day because there was nothing on, when i came across The McPherson tape. I pressed i to see wot it was about, it didnt read to well. I thought "what the hell" and watched it anyway. That was going to be the best decision i ever made. The movie is basically about an American family coming together for thanksgiving. A lad around 17 decided he would get the special occasion on video tape. Whenever the aliens are close to the family the camera that was used went fuzzy, this was a good thing because you then new the aliens were close. They had a warped little girl who will, if you see the movie, shock and annoy you. The movie works your mind and will really freak you out. I'm not easy to scare but this had me on the edge of my seat!! a deffinate 10/10.
