The Fourth Kind (2009) — DVD
In Nome, Alaska, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler investigates disturbing cases of sleep disorders, missing memories and apparent alien encounters after the death of her husband. As she hypnotizes troubled patients, frightening revelations emerge and the boundary between documented evidence and nightmare becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish. The Fourth Kind uses dramatized scenes alongside purported archival-style footage to create an unsettling alien-abduction mystery.
