Movies: Altered


 "Altered" is a movie circa 2006 about 5 friends that suffered an abduction on their teens. Some 15 years later, three of them have managed to capture the alien during a hunt. Not knowing what to do, they take their captured alien to the one person they knew who had more experience... their friend who was held longer than them.

Apparently these group of High Schoolers, were taken in the swamps along a farm. After 2 days three of the boys (Otis, Wyatt, and Duke) were released. The next two were experimented on, sadly "Timmy" died to exposure to the aliens DNA. Cody on the other hand was experimented on for a few days more. On the sixth day he was left a few counties away. Cody knew they did something to him, and he was correct when he had to dig out a biological tracking device implanted in his intestine. Cody went into hiding after telling the truth about aliens, the town laughed at them all and sentence Wyatt to Prison for the death of his brother Timmy.

The interesting things is that Cody, the main abductee, behaves in a manner most abductees behave in. He has been scared to the point in which he lives in hiding, keeping people away from him as much as possible, and fortifying his home, and planning contingencies. What is interesting he can sense when they are near. For the time he was abducted he made sure to remember what had happened by remaining aware.



The aliens in this movie are called Mongers. They seem to be a cross between the typical greys/reptilians. They both have the mental strengths of greys and the physical strength of a reptilian. They appear to be around 5' feet tall and stocky. They have very sharp claws and teeth. They have the typical black eyes, and a segmented brain that can be exposed...like a third eye. The writers of this race seem to indicate that there is a caste system of some sorts as these are the "warriors". They do have cloaking technology as well, and their ship appears to be egg shaped with three retractable appendages used for landing or grappling.
These aliens have a high constitution and take a lot of physical punishment, they seem to enjoy causing pain, and contain a deadly saliva that can break down the DNA structure of a human if bitten.
