Alien Abduction

Plot synopsis:
The film begins with a group of carefree teenagers on a camping trip. As they spend the night drinking and hanging out, a light appears overhead.
Jean is the first to notice something wrong when she videotapes a UFO overhead. At first her friends do not believe her and are not convinced about the tape. That night while they are sitting around the campfire the aliens attack. Four flee for their lives, Jean still clutching the camera, but cannot escape and they are suddenly abducted by a UFO. They wake up in a cell on the ship. Jean uses the camera's night vision to explore the alien glyphs and passages. They eventually rounded up and pushed into a room where they are tied down and vivisected.
Jean awakens in a hospital, suffering from terrible flashbacks. That night a shadowy figure sneaks into her room and staples something into the back of her neck, causing the flashbacks to stop and leaving Jean with no memory of the abduction.
Jean is questioned by a staff psychiatrist, Dr. Booker, who reveals that she is in a special facility for UFO abductees. She has to remain there until they are certain that she can resume a normal life. The military attache, Commander Shakti, wants her lobotomized. Jean breaks into another wing of the hospital to find her friends and discovers that part of the hospital is reserved for mutants, the insane and the lobotomized. She sees a woman having her skull drilled. Jean is then captured by Shakti and given electric shock therapy until she is unconscious. When she wakes up, Shakti interrogates her and then sends her to an execution room. Jean lobotomizes the nurse instead and disguises the nurse as herself, by covering her with gore. She wanders around the basement, looking for a way out through the vents, until she finds an empty storage room. She explores the area, eventually finding her things in a box labelled with her name. She also finds her video camera with the tape missing, but still with its memory stick. She replays the video and is shocked to see the entire abduction on tape. She escapes the storage room, killing a guard on the way. She also sees and tapes a scientist tending alien larvae in a lab and a scientist masturbating the aliens' genitals to extract sperm.
Jean breaks into a worker's locker room and disguises herself. There she runs into her doctor Thomas. She finds out the aliens have escaped and are infecting the facility.
When the infected are killed alien larva cracks out of their skulls and escape. Jean and Thomas try to save her friends but they are a mess and Todd barely remembers Jean. Jean just gets them to safety when Todd turns on them. Thomas shows Jean the way out and reveals that the hospital is actually part of the alien ship. Todd kills Britney and Thomas and an alien larva bursts out of Thomas' head just as he dies. Jean is captured by an adult alien, but she shoots it in the throat.
Later, Jean finds herself in another lab, looking at a series of human clones of her and her friends. Shakti explains that Jean died in the abduction and she was a clone. Jean, furiously kills her clone by pulling out its umbilical cord. Dr. Brooks fakes removing Jean's memory suppression chip, used to keep her memory erased before returning her home. Shakti orders the clones of her friends be resurrected as well. However, since Dr. Brooks faked the procedure Jean's memory was never erased.
Jean, Todd, Bud and Britney suddenly find themselves hiking in the woods on a sunny day, when a search and rescue helicopter spots them. They tell rescue team that they are fine. An army officer asks Jean: "Where have you been for the last two weeks?" The movie ends with Jean giving him a look.

Review:
I think that Alien Abduction fits in at the gory, b-movie end of those types of films.I hope that people can forgive the low budget look and see that Alien Abduction is very weird, disturbing and unexpected.
If you don't watch it through to the end you'll miss the best part of the movie so give it a chance to play itself out.
Most of the reviews are damned good.More power to the low budget world, (other wise we're stuck with a bunch of Ben Affleck movies and big budget sequels like Bridget Jones five)..
After being abducted by aliens while on a camping trip with some friends, a girl named Jean wakes up in a military hospital, with hundreds of other abductees.
Well it is, and this could have been a good movie, had it not been for an obvious lack in budget.
The lead actress who played Jean, Megan Lee Ethridge, Is very good and deserves better roles.
The other cast members are so-so, no one really stood out and the actor playing that creepy cackling scientist who likes to dissect aliens was just awful.
It actually got us all talking because we are big Alien fans and we love the world of Star Fleet and Babylon 5 and Doctor Who and so we were trying to compare them all and this film came up as one of the best ideas and one of the worst looking ones.
I was never like "oh, that's corned beef that their eating not human flesh" or "hey that acting is really amateurish" because the films were really compelling and I couldn't let a costume flaw stand in the way.Alien Abduction is not the great ground breaking film that it could have been if it had more money behind it.
I also liked the tall, skinny blond actor because I didn't know what to expect from him and the lead actress was great.
After watching over two hours of Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" and Michael Bay's "The Island" I am not convinced that throwing millions of dollars at a film production means that it will be good.
I actually liked "The Island" but I certainly found that the big budget helped the story to be more entertaining.
I have to admit that if I stripped away the huge Spielberg budget I liked the cheap Latt version better.
So I went to a film festival where another low budget science fiction was playing, this one was just produced by David Michael Latt.
Well, the film was called "Alien Abduction" and again I was surprised by the amount of heart and head that went into the making of it.
In the first minute of the film I saw a space ship effect that was so cheap I began to worry what I had gotten myself into.
But then I forgot about the no money home movie effects and started really sinking my teeth into the meat of the story.
It was like breaking an addiction to big glitzy special effects high budget films and going cold turkey right there in the theater.
By the end of Alien Abduction I didn't even notice the cheap sets and the bad sound.
And I wonder if Michael Bay's budget had been dumped into Alien Abduction would I have been more interested in the setting of the story than the meaning of the story..
It's reminiscent of those old Black and White horror films like "The Mummy's Hand" (In fact, Alien Abduction probably would have been more effective black and white, but who'll rent that?) But what makes this stand out is the script.
The sound was not very good and the sets and acting were patchy (although better than most of the horror indies I've seen, especially the lead).
As strange as it was while I was watching it, as uncertain as I was (just like the main character was uncertain), it all came together in the end.
It doesn't matter how low a budget this film had or how cheesy it seems at times.
And sure, it takes some of it's basic ideas from a hundred other smart horror and science fiction films, but this doesn't make it any less of a stand-alone experience.
It's fun, and entertaining - it reminds me of the classic B movies.I also thought the little girl - I think her name was Bonnie?
It's a good movie for what it is, and it's not a 732 million dollar production - it's a simple movie, and still better than, say, student films.
All in all, there were many flaws with the film-- which were forgivable because they came off as low budget--and added to the campy and fun element of everything.
She brought the film into a whole different arena because her performance was so completely natural--surprising considering how many special effects she must have been interacting with (as well as many actors who were not up to her level.) I hope that I can see her again soon in many different kinds of projects.
I thought this film had a lot of good things going on.
Every good horror movie should cross the line at least once, and I thought the "sperm donor" scene was delightfully over-the-top fun!
I really liked how the twist-ending & reveal played out, and I thought it elevated the piece as it wrapped it up.While it showed some rough edges, and could have been edited tighter for it's pacing, I thought this was a good first effort and shows great promise for it's director..
Gore-seeking viewers won't be disappointed with this film; it provides more than a fair share of gratuitous blood, guts, and alien semen.
Look away special effects, excellent acting, deeply intriguing script/plot.
Wish I could have seen this on the big screen, well, maybe not, the special effects really were "look away" intense.
Personally I'm not a fan of either of those; someone that is may rate the movie more highly.The other big time miss was the acting, which was beyond pathetic.
Maybe this was all low budget tongue and cheek.I don't really think it had a scary moment, just a few intriguing ones.
Worth seeing if you like science fiction plots (although this is quite derivative there are some interesting twists), or sadism/gore.
I won't go into any details as it is not worth wasting more of my time on this crap, just avoid this movie like the plague.It is pathetic and a total waste of time.Bad acting, no plot, ridiculous special effects, no sense of direction, this movie has all the worse things you can imagine in a movie and much, much more.If you want to see a good movie of this genre try watching Alien or The Abyss.Avoid, or else you will lose 90 precious minutes of your life which you will never, ever get back!.
I think that everyone did a great job with this movie, especially the main character, Jean (Megan Lee Earthridge).
Over all, I think that this was a very great movie, tying in a lot of interesting ideas and plot twists.
Alien abduction, the worst film ever made?.
Although i am interesting in extraterrestrial life, this film was the worst that a director can make!
The good part: the twist at the end is just hits average level, there are tits shown (size 75A), the movie is only 95 minutes long.
The bad: everything else - weak and slow story, totally amateurish actors and acting, shitty dialogs (sometimes I wonder if the actors are really Americans and not from some Third World country), often there are serious laps between cut-scenes, FX is like made by 10-year-old youngsters.
Budget may have been small but this movie just ruined the celluloid it was filmed on.
but I think after you watched the film..
You ask yourself 'Is it really worth watching?' I know there are other good alien B-movies out there, that are well made..
I don't think watching the movie with friend would make it more fun as I read in others comments.
But trust me, every minute or two you'll be bombarded by 'student film' announcements, props and costumes look cheap and only marginally like they belong.Give the story a chance.......
Here and there you feel oddly privileged when one of the signs in laminated.The problem with the movie is that they tried to show too much, far too much, just like Alien Autopsy.
And they didn't have the budget to back it up.A simple white light from above would have worked better for the abduction scene.
But that is the story with the entire film, not just that one little piece.It would have been far better (especially given that most of the acting was sound) if they had simply kept the aliens in the shadows, played it as if it could have all been a dream, and spent the special effects budget on making the sets look believable.Instead they wanted to show the aliens, the eerie space ship background, and that killed the movie.
It's got nice story but average dialogue, like most low-budget films.
I liked the plot and the twist at the end(I would not spoil it, but only thing I would say that it is almost a shame that it is "B" movie) but bad CGI almost kill the performance.
Director/writer Eric Forsberg has done an amazing job with the story and acting is done a little bit patchy, the girl who plays Jean is an exception.
The only thing which was "turning me off" were freezed frames sometimes at the end of the shot.If you are looking for a gory, almost no budget sci fi, watch this.
for a low budget film this was pretty good.
Alien Abduction is a long way from The Asylum's worst.
And I have to give it credit in terms of the movie execution in that it there were some atmospheric and disturbing moments like with the semen moster, the ending is edge-of-your seat stuff and intriguing and the lead actress Megan Lee Ethridge gives a good and likable performance.
The obvious starting point are the production values, I understand entirely that it is low-budget but this actually looks like they were not even trying.
The sets look like someone's basement, the nurses' outfits were too clean even to be lived in- as well as the skirts being far too short to be allowed- and the whole film is dully lit but the real offenders were the effects, which were laughable at best, and the way it was shot, the first five minutes alone were enough to make you dizzy.
4/10 Bethany Cox. A lot of gore, low budget but good story and some solid acting.
I think as low budget projects go this was one of the good ones.
The story of the film was good but at times it seemed to be a little slow paced.
Those are the only specific points I am going to make I watch a lot of B-movies and a lot of low budget films I hope you will believe me when I say that this film is easily better than most of them that I see, even the ones with big name performers and huge budgets.
Long story short it was filled with awful acting and bad script but it was structured in such a way that I watched it all the way through it was one of the few films I have seen where the only reason I kept watching was because it was well crafted.
I watched Alien Abduction from start to finish.
I liked this movie.
It is not the finest film I have ever seen but it makes me want to see what this director could do with more budget and better actors..
The waste of time and energy these people call a film should be a crime.All the comments the other guy wrote were very obviously because he was related to the schlock-writer.The people who made this crap film threw in fake looking aliens, a dash of incomplete storyline, truly awful acting and unrealistic "special effects" to completely bore any viewer.No idea in this film is carried to fruition.
And I've seen an awful lot of B movies.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS KIND OF GARBAGE..
This movie I will not rate low because it has bad acting and stuff, but because it is the freaking creepiest movie ever, they add this green-ish filter to everything which makes it very creepy, plus the...abduction or whatever was very gruesome But the ending was dumb, it just ends with no like greater expansion of the aliens and why the aliens leader is a creepy British lady, that brings me to another point, why is a US general British?
I will give it a 4, because I like the plot is good but I just wish it would have expanded the thing about the aliens more and made the movie less gory, I mean, were they aliens or some organization or what?
What was this guy thinking.I saw it with someone who actually likes bad films and he couldn't take it.
I saw this movie, and after watching it i really cant say how awful it was.
I saw the logo for The Asylum come up and I knew immediately that I was in for 90 minutes of cheap, irritating horror film-making.
The Asylum is, hands down, the worst cheap movie horror outfit in the history of cinema in my opinion.
But that was the only scare of the whole movie.The Asylum is true to form with ALIEN ABDUCTION.
It looks like the suit came from a B-movie clearance house.
Low budget sci-fi that tries to be better than what it is..
Eric Forsberg's Alien Abduction is really a weird and often times painful experience to watch.
The movie has bad effects,and implausible storyline, unlikable characters and average acting.
Sadly and with much regret (though they were some bright spots), Alien Abduction probably should have been scrapped.Jean (Megan Lee Etheridge) plays basically the lead survivor (we assume the rest of her friends are dead).
Let's get to some of the problems in the movie: The aliens in the movie look incredibly fake as if they were trying to combine both spandex and Cgi. It did not work, even the computer effects come out cheesy.
When they tried to use the old fashion approach the costumes ended up looking very unoriginal like some dude wearing spandex.Other problems such as the acting while I overlooked them for the benefit of watching the entire movie were average if not below average in some spots.
It's like some of these actors had no previous acting experience and seeing Megan's resume I see that to be true.The story while it goes along pretty well, has a laughable twist near the end that you'll have to see to believe.Anyhow a couple of brights things to say about the movie.
Some of the acting isn't too bad I guess in some parts.I'd categorize the movie as a B movie for the millennium so if you're into these type of movies you might like otherwise stay away.
From the first 10 minutes I knew where this movie was going, and 20 minutes in I'd guessed the "surprise" twist that was coming.
As others have noted, there's the seed of a good idea buried deep beneath all the gore in this no-budget alien flick, but the direction and execution of the plot is so bad that it is impossible to enjoy any redeeming features the story might bring to the film.
Talented directors might do this to give the viewer the impression of being right in there amongst the flying feet and fists, but with this effort I suspect it's solely because the makers don't really know the basics of the art.Alien abduction: watch the movie or experience the real orifice-probing thing?
ALIEN ABDUCTION is singularly the worst film I've seen made by The Asylum, and there are plenty of bad ones to choose from.
It starts off noisy and annoying, as a group of friends are abducted by aliens and a lengthy gore scene plays out, and then it gets worse as they wake up in a gloomy government institution for more experiments.
The director sure has a thing for women with long legs and tiny breasts.There are so many plot holes, terrible acting, women who don't wear bras or undershirts, monsters sound like birds and many pointless scenes.Aliens don't make sense nor scary.
I don't even know they won special effects for this movie.I understand that it is a low budget but the amount of money was wasted on something else than the movie..
**SPOILERS** Ponderous and slow moving movie about a group of people abducted by aliens from outer space when they were out camping in the woods.
The head man, or woman, of this off the wall operation a Maj,Shakti, Claudia Kartz, had Jean's friends end up being killed by those she commanded, so much for letting the inmates themselves do themselves in, even though in them being practically brain dead they were no threat to her and the higher ups that she worked for.We shown a number of grossed out scenes in the film that are never fully explained giving you the impression that the movie was running out of story lines and had to resort to shock and awe to keep its audience from either falling asleep or turning the damn thing off altogether.
In what seemed like and endless chase scenes, that involved Jean, to nowhere the film abruptly ends where it began with Jean and her friends, who had since been terminated, hiking in the woods!
Or did it!Nothing really worth watching in the movie "Alien Abduction" but the very fit and heavily muscle toned, for a woman, Magan Lee Ethridge as the film's hero Jean.
