An interesting thing happened after I saw “The Fourth Kind” at an early press screening. I looked up the film on Wikipedia and found a story by the Anchorage Daily News which, based solely on the film’s trailer, debunks the entire “based on a true story” angle.
We all know the trailer I’m talking about... the one where Milla Jovavich walks up to the camera and says, “I am actress Milla Jovovich... This film is a dramatization of events that occurred in October 2000. Every scene in this movie is supported by archive footage.” The movie starts exactly the same way.
What unfolds is a relatively creepy tale of sleep deprivation, missing persons and murder in the small town of Nome, Alaska. Jovovich plays psychologist Abigail Tyler, who treated several people for sleep disorders, and later she makes the connection to abduction experiences in these patients.
