A hokey movie that tries to convince you it is of real footage when it actually isn't. All it takes is a click of a mouse to figure it out and you'll hate the filmmakers for trying to convince you otherwise. There are some interesting parts in here and a few chilling moments, but it is too contrived at points and the directors decision to use fake "real" footage alongside the "dramatization" of his fake footage doesn't work and only pulls you out of the experience rather than the other way around. It doesn't feel like a real movie, but it also doesn't feel like a documentary either. It's in that middle ground of nothingness. That's not a good thing. Despite all its failings, The Fourth Kind is at least an interesting failure, but one that most people will be infuriated by because of the filmmakers choices.
