Coming Soon - The Fourth Kind - In Theaters November 6th

Like I have stated in prior articles, now that summer is over, the major movie studios are starting to release information on their upcoming projects for the fall and holiday seasons. Mixed in with a batch of stuff I got from Universal is film that I thought looked pretty cool called "The Fourth Kind." It looks like something that will be right up the ally of fans of "The X-Files."

Milla Jovovich stars as a psychologist who begins to gather information on alien abductions by putting her patients through hypnosis.

Here is the synopsis:

1n 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document...until now.

Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where, mysteriously since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered.

Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.

Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

"The Fourth Kind" will hit theaters on November 6th.

Oh, and before I forget, "The Fourth Kind" is not the sequel to Steven Spielberg's 1977 sci fi classic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Though both films do have aliens in them.
