Movies: The Graciefield Incident


This film was originally made sometime in 2015, and its is about a weekend getaway with some friends in Canada. It centers are Matt and his girlfriend, as a year previously they were in an auto accident in which he lost an eye and their unborn child. They all (Mathew. John, Trey, Jessica, Julia, Liz, and the Mathew's dog) go for a weekend trip to Graciefield, a heavily forested area in Quebec, Canada. Mathew's boss has a private cabin in the woods, and he is a big foot enthusiast. The only nearby neighbor is a farm who grows....corn.
As they leave a news story talks about how a satellite in orbit was in a collision with an unknown object.
A few hours after they had settled in to the cabin, had dinner, had some fun, relaxed..... a shooting start or meteorite flies by. The guys are excited and want to see what it is so they head off into the wood. Mathew and John locate the odd rock, and as the girls come looking for them head back after some creepy stuff right away. Mathew's dog goes missing...and he is worried.

Now to make a long story short, people begin disappearing one by one as a being is stalking them. Mathew and John realize what is really going on but do not want to scare the women. Eventually things come out when Trey goes missing, then his girlfriend, soon John and his girlfriend, and lastly Matthew's girlfriend. By this time Matthew figures stuff out and realizes the rock he found is actually a container for an egg or something. When he finally offers it back to the alien...you found out it contained its young inside. The alien leaves and returns his friends and dog back....they are all naked.... and conveniently within minutes the Canadian search and rescue team arrive. Flash forward a year later, Mathew and his girlfriend have a child.


Now people may wonder why this movie finally came out to DVD around 2017. Supposedly it was because of DVD distribution issues. To complicate matters there was an other movie produced around the same time called "Extraterrestrial" that had a very similar plot except the alien baby...and their was a government cover-up. It had some very good concepts in it, but personally I didn't not like the movie.... the whole "baby alien" and the aliens trying to get the pod back made no sense. Literally the alien was in the vicinity of the pod when they found it, although it possessed an individual....it made no attempt to tell anyone "DUDE you have MY BABY. Give it back". Also....it was hours ago....and you mean that little pod was floating in orbit.....and no one noticed it was missing for hours? When it does crash on earth, you find it right away but do nothing becuase a human has a flash light? Things didn't not progress on a logical scale for me.
