Thankfully the film was re-released on DVD, firstly by the BFI, and this year by the BBC. Having rewatched the film in the cold hard light of day, you can see the bad acting of some of the cast. But what you also appreciate is just how good Parkinson, Greene and Charles are in their roles. It is not hard to see why people were fooled when they managed to play it so straight. And the film still has genuine creepy moments. A cupboard under the stairs of the house holds a terrible secret, and when the crew finally approach it, you really do feel on the edge of your seat. Ghostwatch was really ahead of its time, and likely could never be repeated now. Audiences are too clued in. But at the time it was magnificent and even by today's standards well worth a watch. Alien Abduction:  Incident In Lake County Another made for TV movie, this time broadcast on UPN in 1998. Alien Abduction purported to footage of a family terrorised by aliens at a remote farm during Thanksgiving. Intercut with this were interviews with real life experts, including monster maker, Rick Baker, who gave their commentary on the footage, and the likelihood of its legitimacy. This helped to add a level of believability to proceedings. Most found footage films simply show the footage. Alien Abduction provided wider context as well. For a low budget TV movie, Alien Abduction is really effective by keeping everything in the shadows.
