The audience is a jaded lot these days. The torture/gore horror genre is ever escalating to new heights trying to find a nerve that hasn't been pressed yet. The Fourth Kind goes a different direction. It tries to get under your skin, to instill a sense of dread. My compliments to the director/writer for trying a new approach. It isn't what you see, it is what you don't see and our imaginations are called to the forefront. The performances are great and the direction is original. The score is seamless. A great scare with disturbing moments and parts that make you jump out of your seat.
