Movies: Alien Abduction (U.S. Brown Mountain)


"Alien Abduction" is by IFC Midnight Films, and debuted on 4/4/14. It is a horror documentary style movie that sets it story in the Brown Mountains, North Carolina. Apparently this area of the Appalachian Range has been known to have high UFO activity, as many have witnessed strange lights in the sky. The story is "supposedly" taken from the page of Project Bluebook where evidence of a mass abduction occurred during a family's camping vacation. The video recorder was recovered by the USAF.

The story centers around Riley, an autistic child of a family of five. He is the youngest, with an older teenage brother and sister. There first night thing are normal, except around 1am, bright lights are seen in the distance.
The next day as they continue traveling, they decided to take an off beaten path. The road there is paved, practically brand new.... yet it seems it part of the outskirts of some rural mountain area. However as they driver further they began to see abandoned cars, until they come to a tunnel... were many abandoned vehicles are located. Among the cars are a paramedic truck and police car. The vehicles seem to indicate that many where local resident of the nearby town. As the father and son explore the tunnel, they see a being at the end. Immediately the Aliens attack, capturing the father...while the rest of the family gets away.
Here it follows the usually movie script.... drive away in car.... car runs out of gas... run on foot... find a cabin.... find a lone woodsman... dog goes missing when creature approaches... woodsman convince of threat...  stay the night... they come again... take the oldest son.... woodsman save the day.... they come again..... everyone gets captured one by one until the autistic kid Riley is left..... and USAF finds camera.

So lets examine the other things.... one thing I applaud them for is that the movie and creatures roam around during the day and night. They have the ability to induce paralysis through eye contact. and or the beam of light. They can pop in and out using a teleport  jump or the ability to move really fast.
When the ships are around they are at least as big as a barn.....there is the sound of a fan, which sounds like combine in the movie. When the creatures are close, there is an electromagnetic interference which is noticeable on camera. The aliens themselves appear to be muscular-lithe tall almond greys with segmented features which make them seem insect like. They seem to be highly aggressive.

The movie is creepy, but is definitely a horror flick. The fact that some 27 individuals along with their vehicles vanished is odd. At least two of the abducted are from the local Sheriff Station, two had to be from the paramedics, 2 are the woodsman and his brother, and the family make 5. From the other cars.... the youngest taken was an infant, and at least 10 vehicles..... so the mass abduction is really odd since it was all piled up in one area... like a trap.
