Starring Milla Jovovich and having being classified as SciFi-Horror were convincent enough reasons for me to give this film a try without previously searching anything about the film in the net.
The film has an interesting approach, mixing real footage with dramatizations to try to bring to the public eye a series of really strange happennings that took place in Alaska in 2000. Several people under psychological treatment (and the psychologist treating them and her deceased husband) are experiencing the same odd nightmares and finally end up thinking that they have been abducted by aliens.
The film manages to create a tense atmosphere, where the despair and anguish of the characters is perfectly transmitted to the spectator, I would classify this work as an "extreme film", sharing this label (but at the end of the list) in "my brain blog" with films like Martyrs, Antikörper...
When the film is over, you feel prompted to search more info about it and the real facts on which it's based...
Spoiler warning
A simple wikipedia search breaks all that magic about the real happenings, as it explains that the claims are false, following a similar strategy to The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity...
Not knowing about it made my experience with this film rather better, so hope that will be your case also.
